An 11-month-old Cockapoo who was brought to Battersea in a tangle of fur has been given a second chance after undergoing a dramatic makeover, losing almost a kilo of matted fur.

A rescue dog, who became a canine celebrity after starring in a TV advert for animal welfare charity, Battersea, is being remembered by her owner in a special commemoration event for Pet Remembrance Day (5 July).  

A loveable Lurcher called Perry, who has been in the care of Battersea’s Old Windsor centre for over 18 months, recently celebrated his fourth birthday with a garden party as he continues his search for a home.
