Why rescue?

One in four dogs and cats are rescues. They come in all shapes and sizes and refuse to be defined by their past. At Battersea we think it’s time to celebrate rescue and show that even underdogs can be top cats. To look beyond pedigree and start appreciating personality; stop focussing on age and instead see character. If you want a unique, loving pet there’s really one breed for you, and that’s Rescue.

Mixed breeds: No pedigree, always original

Mixed breed dogs stand out from the crowd with their unique mix of whatever-they-are.

Staffies: Careful, they lick!

Forget what you’ve read: Staffies aren’t tough, they’re just tough not to love.

Greyhounds: Just looking for a couch to potato on

Sure, they’re fast, but did you know they prefer to be fast asleep?

Sled dogs: So much more than just a pretty face

Baby they were born to run, and our sled dogs are looking for owners who can keep up.
