Q: How long will Battersea Dogs and Cats Home look after my dog for before it is destroyed?
Contrary to popular belief, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home do not indiscriminately destroy dogs. They have an excellent structure and policy for assessing and training dogs to be re-homed to good loving homes.
If your dog is taken to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home it will be kept as a stray for seven days from the date that it is taken in. This is the statutory period. After that the dog can legally be re-homed.
