As part of the sponsorship, Sales Director Sarah Lane was given the difficult task of judging the ‘Most Fabulous Fella’ competition. After much deliberation, ex Battersea dog Otto was chosen as the winner and won an Ancol waterproof bed and monster toy.

Sarah commented: “I chose Otto as the Most Fabulous Fella because he was so handsome and friendly with sparky eyes that made me want to take him home! We’veve loved being part of this event and are proud to be supporting Battersea with the fantastic work they do for thousands of dogs and cats every year.”

Hannah Lloyd, Corporate Partnerships Executive at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, added: “Thank you so much to Ancol for sponsoring and judging the ‘Most Fabulous Fella’ class and for the wonderful prizes they provided. It really does make a difference to the dogs and cats at our home.”

Earlier this year, Ancol sponsored an exercise paddock for stray dogs at Battersea as part of a £4.8m kennel development of the centre.
