UPDATE; Scotty found after former Big Brother housemate’s plea

Now the search is on to find him a new home.

Scotty was rescued by animal charity K-9 Angels, of which model and former Big Brother housemate Victoria Esiermann is one of the founders.

She is a lifelong animal rights advocate who modelled in Guinness and Bird’s Eye adverts before she appeared in Big Brother in 2012.

Scotty has been in the UK now for two years and is aged about four. He slipped his lead while being transferred to a new foster home.

However, the charity contacted the County Times this morning (Wednesday September 3) to say he had been found safe and well.

Attention now turns to finding him a new home.
