One of Britain’s loneliest dogs is still waiting for a loving owner to give him a forever home - after spending more than 365 days living in rescue centre kennels. Henry, a three-year-old lurcher, first arrived at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home after being discovered as a stray more than a year ago.
But so far nobody has stepped forward to give the bashful pooch his first ever home after he was repeatedly overlooked due to being "too sensitive". Henry has now been at the charity's Battersea Old Windsor site, in Windsor, Berkshire, for more than ten times the average stay of 34 days.
He is described as being a "ladies man", affectionate and loving - but can be timid and anxious when it comes to meeting new people. Staff say his shy nature may be one of the reasons why he keeps being overlooked by potential new owners as they continue to try and find him a new home.
