Gollum Checks In

Our website appeal dog makes a return to Battersea.

You may recall that we're trying to find a dog a home, in a pet match that's exclusive to the website.

Gollum, the pooch in question, recently returned to Battersea with Natasha, his foster mum. She's a kennel hand at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Being a foster mum is like having your own dog, you are in charge of looking after it, feeding it, walking it, but just until it gets a new home.

Natasha has been fostering Gollum for a couple of months.

We've now updated our gallery with pictures from his return visit.
