Visit Battersea

Sniff out parts of Battersea which aren't normally open to the public, and get to know more about the Home, our history and our plans for the future.

You'll also get to watch Battersea dogs and ex-residents showing off their talents in our exciting display team, and get to meet them afterwards.

The tours will be taking place every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 6th September - 4th November. Entry is a £2 donation.

Tours are on a first come, first served basis.

During really busy times you can visit our kennels and cattery by pre-booked appointment only. This is so we don't confuse our animals with too many people around them. You may be able to make a Rehoming appointment during your visit if you speak to our reception team when you arrive.

Thanks, and we look forward to welcoming you to our Home.
