Britain's most unwanted dog finally finds new owners after 11 years in a rescue centre

Proving that every dog has its day, Britain's most unwanted pet has finally been found new owners - after spending the last 11 years in a rescue centre.

Jenny struck lucky after spending 77 dog years in kennels - thought to be a British record.

She was abandoned when she was just one in 1997 when rescuers from Gables Farm Dogs' and Cats' Home found her tied to a lamppost.



Now, after becoming the longest-staying resident in the Plymouth centre's 101 year history, Jenny has finally found a family to love her.

New owners Pat and Mary Caffrey, from Paignton, Devon, were moved by Jenny's story when they looked at the Gables website and decided to go and meet her face to face.

Mr Caffrey, 59, a retired engineer, said: "We read her story and we thought 'ah look at that' about her being tied to the lamppost and being there so long."
