How many dogs does Paul O’Grady have?

Paul apparently has five rescue dogs – along with pigs, alpacas, chickens, sheep and goats – at his home in Kent.

Among the most recent of his rescue pets to come and live with him is Sausage, a wire-haired dachshund.

Furthermore, his three other pooches are called Arfur, Conchita and Eddie.

Additionally, Paul joked he broke a clause in his contract which prevents him from fostering any more dogs when scenes with Sausage aired earlier this year.

And he later wrote about her on Insta: “She’s called Sausage which isn’t very original but it doesn’t matter as she can’t understand a word of English except for ‘biscuit’.

“She gets on with all the others except for Conchita who simply ignores her but Nancy loves her and together they’re a right pair of hooligans.

“So far Sausage has eaten her way through a couple of dog beds, an armchair, endless pairs of socks and shoes and the stair carpet.

“But she’s the friendliest dog on the planet so what’s a pair of shoes between friends?”
