Dogs Trust 'underdog' Rocky adopted in Surrey after 800-day wait
Rocky ends 800-day wait for 'forever home'
A rescue dog has been adopted by a couple in Surrey after waiting 800 days for his "forever home".
Lurcher Rocky was left in the care of the Dogs Trust in April 2019 then returned to the charity in January 2023 after his first adoption did not work out.
But it was "love at first sight" for Imogen and Robert from Reigate when they met Rocky at the Harefield centre after hearing about his story from radio presenter Ken Bruce.
Imogen, an actress and child carer, and Robert, who works for an event hire company, took Rocky home just before Easter and he has finally been able to put his paws up in the Surrey Hills.
