Appeals
As a registered charity there's always something special we need here at the Dogs Home.
Winter Blankets appeal
January and February are often the coldest months of the year, so please spare a thought for the dogs and cats at Battersea as the temperatures plummet.
The recent cold weather has meant that we've got a bit low on our supply of thick, warm blankets for the dogs; well, we do use 1,000 a day thanks to our efficient kennel hands and laundry staff!
Thanks to a few recent donations of smaller sized blankets, our cats are sitting pretty at the moment, but we could really use some additional dog blankets.
We'd be grateful for any old blankets that you no longer use at home, or as an extra special New Year's treat perhaps you could consider knitting one!
Please note that it is medium to large sized blankets that we are most in need of at the moment. Please don't send sheets or towels as they are not as warm for the dogs - and please don't send in duvets or we could end up with a fake snowstorm or two!
Please mark any parcels "Blankets" and send to Battersea Dogs Home, 4 Battersea Park Road, London SW8 4AA.
Please email us for a knitting pattern and we'll send you one in the post.
