To celebrate National Dog Day we've teamed up with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home to try and find some of their handsome hounds a loving home
Neo

2 of 2
Behind his wide smile, Neo has one of the saddest stories of any Battersea dog. This young boy arrived at Battersea’s Old Windsor centre as a stray over a year ago. Aged just two, Neo has now been in kennels for half his adult life. When Neo arrived at Battersea he was very underweight, but was still wearing his trademark smile and bounding about with enthusiasm. Neo’s a lovely-natured boy who’s been in kennels for far too long and he deserves a shot at happiness. If you think he could be the one for you, please get in touch.

Louis

Gorgeous Louis is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. This sweet seven-year-old Spaniel loves to play and, once he’s decided on his favourite soft toy, he’ll carry it around all day long and show it off to everyone he meets. Louis is a busy dog who usually has his head to the ground and he’s looking for a home with active owners who have experience with Spaniels. Louis loves people and gets scared when he’s left by himself, so he’ll need owners who are willing to help him work on this and show him there are no monsters under the bed. He will reward anyone who takes him home with years of joy, love and smiles.

Barnaby is a lovely chap who will make you laugh with his bubbly, cheeky character and wide Staffie grin. This eight-year-old wants to be friends with everyone he meets and he will try to win you over by giving you a toy, or - if one is not to hand - he will gently pick up a shoe to offer you! Barnaby loves tennis balls and is looking for new owners who will play lots of fetch with him and shower him with the affection he craves. Barnaby, who arrived at Battersea Old Windsor as a stray, has been struggling with life in the kennels. He’s now on foster, where his true, playful nature is shining through. This charming boy will make a loyal. loving companion – he’s just waiting for the right person. If you’ve fallen in love with Barnaby’s smile, please let Battersea Old Windsor know.

Derek

2 of 2
Who could resist this six-year-old’s cheeky, infectious grin? Lurcher Derek is a beautiful dog with a playful personality to match. He came into Old Windsor as a stray and when he arrived he was filthy, with bad skin and a nasty wound on his foreleg. But - with a few baths and a bit of TLC from Battersea’s vets - Derek has made a full recovery and his true, giggly nature soon shone through. He loves people, but can still be a bit shy at first around other dogs, so he’s looking for a family who are willing to work to help him build up his canine confidence. Derek is looking for a home away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with active owners and a garden where he can zoom around to his heart’s content. Could you be the one to bring a smile to Derek’s face?

Smiley Serena and enthusiastic Eddie are looking for a home together, with owners who have some understanding of ex-racing Greyhounds and their needs. The duo have been at Battersea’s Old Windsor centre for a few weeks now and they’ve become firm favourites with the staff. Eddie is a funny, affectionate boy who enjoys the company of both people and dogs. He loves food more than anything, except perhaps his best friend Serena. She’s a bouncy, affectionate girl who loves jumping up to give kisses. Serena loves to lean on people for a fuss and cuddle.

Who could resist this four-year-old’s cheeky, infectious grin? Saluki Tommy is a beautiful dog with a playful personality to match. He came into Battersea’s London centre as a stray and he was very frightened of everything and everyone. Tommy needed some TLC from Battersea’s staff to help him build up his confidence but his true, giggly nature soon emerged. He loves people, but can still be a bit shy at first around other dogs, so he’s looking for a family who are willing to work with him to help him build up his canine confidence. Tommy is looking for a home in a quiet location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with a garden where he can zoom around to his heart’s content. Could you be the one to bring a smile to Tommy’s face?

Rosie

2 of 2
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rosie arrived in Battersea with an injury to her front, left leg which was clearly causing her pain. Despite their best efforts, Battersea’s vets were sadly unable to fix it and, in the end, they made the difficult decision to amputate her leg. Since then two-year-old Rosie has been much happier and has been enjoying her three-legged life. This two-year-old is an optimistic soul who loves to play and show off her impressive fetch and drop skills. Rosie is also always happy to learn new tricks, especially when there is a tasty reward on offer. Rosie is an excitable girl who will benefit from being the only pet in her new home and instead meet other dogs for regular playdates. Any children in the home should be teenagers who are confident around dogs and will keep playtime calm.

Two-year-old Staffie/Dalmatian cross Ola has been at Battersea’s London centre for over 100 days. Despite her bright smile and happy-go-lucky attitude, Ola finds life in the kennels very stressful and she’s desperately hoping to find a family to love her. Extremely clever and full of energy, she’s looking for a home with a garden, with owners who can keep her mind and body active. Ola loves people and would love to live in a home where people will be around for most of the day. She will reward anyone who takes her home with years of joy and smiles.

Paddy

Eight-year-old Paddy may be a slightly older chap, but you’d never know it when you meet him. He came in through no fault of his own after his owner sadly passed away. He’s now looking for the perfect owner to come along and relax with him. Paddy may look fluffy and cute, but there is a confident boy under that bundle of fur who quite likes the sound of his own voice! He’s a happy-go-lucky little dog and very affectionate. He will make the perfect companion to someone and is sure to light up their day with his happy grin. Anyone interested in taking Paddy home will need to speak with one of Battersea’s vets first.

Jaybee

Life has really thrown Jaybee a curve-ball, but she’s not letting that get her down. This older girl should have been heading into a comfy retirement, but instead she’s ended up at Battersea’s London centre after her owners sadly had to move and couldn’t take her with them. This eight-year-old is now looking for a comfy home and ideally, she’d like to escape to the country for her twilight years. If you’ve fallen in love with Jaybee’s smile, please let Battersea know.
