Q: How long will Battersea Dogs and Cats Home look after my dog for before it is destroyed?

Answer:

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.
