I AM writing to let you know the result of your Animal Aid feature which highlighted Fido, the dog waiting more than a year at the RSPCA shelter at Altham for someone to give him a new home (LET, September 30). He now has a family that loves him.

I wanted not just to thank you, but also to tell you that your help for him and other animals is very much appreciated.

Visitors to the centre passed him by and he was there for 15 months. Staff were afraid he would not find a new home, but, thanks to Animal Aid, he has.

A big woof of thanks, too, from a very happy dog.

CAROL ANN GARDINER (Mrs), Jacks Key Drive, Darwen.
