Desperately in need of someone to care...


Ollie was just two weeks old when his mum abandoned him. The little kitten was too young to fend for himself and desperately needed someone to take care of him.
Read Ollie's diary to find out how, with our help,  he grew from a helpless kitten to a strong, healthy, cheeky little chap. Please donate now and help us save more kittens like Ollie

REHOMER DOG OF THE DAY

Bobbie
Beautiful Bobbie has had a tough time recently so needs some TLC and a stable new home where she can relax and feel safe again. Bobbie is such a loyal little dog that will devote herself to her new owner. She struggles with kennel life more than most as she'd much prefer to be curled up at home on someones knee. Could you be Bobbie's companion for life?

Sign to repeal and replace the Dangerous Dogs Act

The Dangerous Dogs Act Study Group (DDASG) is a wide-ranging group representing animal welfare, local authorities and veterinary professional organisations which includes representation from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, Blue Cross, British Veterinary Association, Dogs Trust, the Kennel Club, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Wandsworth Borough Council and Wood Green Animal Shelters.

We consider that the Dangerous Dogs Act needs to be overhauled to better protect the public and that a new dog control regime that emphasises responsible dog ownership should be introduced.
