About us

At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help.

We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that's just right for them.


All the knowledge we gather in our centres helps us to improve the lives of the animals we'll never meet, through our work with other rescue organisations and charities.

We also help people make informed choices when getting a pet, we provide training and welfare advice, and we campaign for changes in the law when we see that dogs and cats or their owners deserve better.


Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.
