Britain's loneliest dog finds a permanent home after nearly three years in RSPCA kennels

Overview

Sadie, a Collie cross previously rescued from unsuitable conditions alongside 200 other dogs in Cornwall, has finally been adopted after spending nearly three years in RSPCA kennels. Dubbed 'Britain's loneliest dog', she was adopted by Mabel Edge from Devon after her new owners saw daily social media video updates posted by the charity. The RSPCA highlights that Sadie's adoption comes amid rising multi-animal rescue cases placing unprecedented pressure on its teams.

Key points

  • Sadie spent nearly three years and over 1,000 days in RSPCA kennels following a rescue from outdoor compounds in Cornwall where she lived with 200 other dogs.
  • The five-year-old dog could not be rehomed initially due to ongoing legal processes involving her previous owner, who received a jail sentence and a lifetime ban.
  • New owner Mabel Edge discovered Sadie through a daily video series posted on social media by the RSPCA after 83 days of clips.
  • Following four visits to the RSPCA centre, Edge and her partner adopted Sadie, noting that she has settled well into family life over the past six months.
  • The RSPCA has reported increasing pressure from multi-animal rescue cases across England and Wales.
