The death notice for John Spencer Hobhouse on 11 Jan 2010 has: John Spencer Hobhouse, who died on Christmas Eve 2009 aged 99, was responsible for a major change in animal policies after the Second World War which saved the lives of many stray animals. The decorated war veteran - one of only five air gunners to be awarded the Air Force Cross during World War Two for bravery and skills - began campaigning for animals after he and his wife Mary 'adopted' a Welsh collie called Sewin, which had been owned by a wing commander who died in action, and rescued another dog called Mouse, who was going to be destroyed. They moved to Bath and joined the committee of the city's RSPCA branch in 1948, with Mr Hobhouse becoming the chairman the following year. He was able to convince the city council that it could save money by sending strays to the charity's kennels instead of paying a vet to put animals down. After three years as chairman of the Bath branch, he became convinced that the Bath no destruction policy should be rolled out nationwide. He was elected to the RSPCA's national council in 1955 and started the long battle to achieve this, forming a Homeless Animals Committee, which he also chaired. This committee persuaded the RSPCA council to spend the £100,000 necessary to build modern kennels across the UK. Within a year these new kennels were saving the lives of 10,000 dogs that would otherwise have been destroyed. In 1966 he became the chairman of the RSPCA council, and was kept busy visiting the main RSPCA branches, and travelling to London twice a week. In his spare time he became interested in horse racing and bought a racehorse. At a race in 1982, Mr Hobhouse won £150,000, which he used to set up the Hobhouse Animal Trust to help small animals. He stepped down as national chairman in 1972 and then threw himself into more work at the Bath Cats and Dogs Home. In 1995, the home received three legacies totalling £500,000, which enabled new buildings to be built. Mr Hobhouse was born at Oakhill, near Shepton Mallet in 1910 and educated at Old Malthouse School in Langton Matravers, before moving to Eton College in 1923, and then Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1929. After leaving university, he worked in the insurance industry in Scotland and Bristol before his war service. His wife died before him and he was survived by a niece.
