BATTERSEA DOGS' AND CATS' HOME
Activities
As described by the charity on the register
We aim never to turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We reunite lost dogs and cats with their owners; when we cannot do this, we care for them until new homes can be found for them; and we educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
