Two dogs at the Brands Hatch site of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home are celebrating their anniversary of being in kennels – with an appeal for the right person to come forward and give them each a new home.
Four-and-a-half year old Jack Russell Jake was brought to Battersea in October, five months ago, by his owner who couldn’t look after him anymore. Jake is a lively and spirited little dog who will need an owner with a calm household and willingness to work on Jake’s behaviour.
Three-year-old Alaskan Malamute Theo came to Battersea as a stray in September of last year, clocking up six months at the charity. He is a beautiful dog but is very headstrong and juvenile, so new owners really need experience of the breed and lots of patience for training him further.
Michelle Bevan, Rehoming and Welfare Manager of Battersea Brands Hatch, said: “The average stay for a dog at Battersea is 29 days so five or six months is far too long for dogs to live in kennels. Both of these gorgeous boys have very specific behavioural traits that will be best appreciated by aficionados of their breed, so we’re really hoping the right person reads this and comes forward.”
