Battersea Dogs & Cats Home cannot guarantee that any animal seen on this website will be suitable for an individual prospective owner.

The animals displayed here are currently in our care. They have differing needs and can only be matched accurately to a new home once a member of our rehoming staff has interviewed a prospective new owner at one of our centres. Please be aware that under no circumstances can we reserve an animal until an interview has been completed. Please note that you have to be 18 years old or over to rehome a Battersea dog or cat. Please refer to our dog rehoming procedures or our cat rehoming procedures.

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home cannot guarantee that any animal seen on the website will be at the centre on visiting.

Animals are rehomed from our centres seven days a week. Although this site is regularly updated, there may be occasions when an animal appearing on the website has already been rehomed. We are unable to confirm by telephone, fax or email if a particular animal is still available but we do urge you to visit as we always have many animals waiting for new homes.

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home cannot accept responsibility for the temperament of any animal once it has been rehomed.

All Battersea dogs are given thorough health and temperament assessments. This gives us an insight into the dog's character and enables us to make a considered decision as to which type of home would be best for the dog. However, once a dog has settled into a new home, his behavior can sometimes alter. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home can only assess a dog on the behavior it displays whilst in our care. We offer support for anyone experiencing behavioural difficulties with their pet after rehoming, through our Behaviour Hotline.
