STORIES OF HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS

Every dog’s journey is different. Some need weeks to heal, others take months. Your sponsorship makes sure we can be there for them, for as long as it takes.

Scruff's story

Chasing tennis balls was what made Scruff, the Jack Russell, feel safe and happy. When an injured leg meant surgery and weeks of rest, the hardest part was keeping him from the game he loved most.

But with months of patient physio and treatments, he’s back to bounding after balls, now by the sea with his new family.

Glitter’s story

When two-year-old Glitter arrived at Battersea, her intelligence and energy made her a joy – but also a handful. She struggled when left alone and her enthusiasm could overwhelm other dogs.

With patient training, office time, and social walks, she learned to settle. Glitter is now happily rehomed with a family committed to continuing her training with love. 

Willow’s story

Full of character and boundless energy, Willow faced a tough start with a severely damaged hind leg. After surgery and months of physio in our hydrotherapy pool, she bounced back with remarkable spirit.

And now she’s joyfully whizzing around on three legs in her new countryside home.

What you’ll receive

When you sponsor a kennel, you’ll get a fun-filled welcome pack with:

  • A personalised certificate to display
  • A car sticker and fridge magnet
  • A special welcome booklet introducing you to the journey ahead.

You’ll also get exclusive bi-monthly email updates (if you opt in) and our newsletter,Tails, twice a year – so you can follow the stories your sponsorship makes possible.

How it works

Your sponsorship really will make a life-changing difference to dogs and cats at Battersea. Across our three centres, it costs around £53,000 every day to provide safety, expert care and comfort. Because every animal's journey is different, all gifts support every aspect of our work, helping wherever the need is greatest.

FAQs

What will I receive?

A treat-filled welcome pack with a certificate, car sticker, fridge magnet and booklet – plus exclusive bi-monthly email updates (if you choose them) and Tails newsletter twice a year.

Who will I be helping?

Every animal who comes to Battersea. Our dog kennels and cat cabins are the heart of their journey – giving animals the safety and care they need for a fresh start in a loving home.

Why is sponsorship so important?

Because every animal’s journey is unique. While some take days, others can take months to recover from illness, injury or loss of everything they knew. Sponsorship gives them the time and care they need to be ready for their next step, leap or hug – no matter how long it takes.

Where does my money go?

100% of your money goes to Battersea. Even better, your sponsorship doesn’t just support one animal. Gifts are unrestricted so can be used where they are needed most – from emergency surgery to blankets and toys. That way, you’re helping every animal in our care.

Can I visit the kennel or cabin I sponsor?

Many of the animals in our care need a quiet and calm place to recover, without the excitement of visitors. Instead, we’ll keep you close to their journeys with regular updates and stories from behind the scenes.

What does a kennel or cabin look like?

They are warm, safe spaces designed around the needs of every animal. You can find out more in your welcome pack, but each one gives a dog or cat their own bed, toys and quiet space. They’re not forever homes, but they are the first step towards one.

Can I give sponsorship as a gift?

Yes. It’s a wonderful present for an animal lover. Your friend or loved one will receive a special welcome pack with a certificate, car sticker, fridge magnet and booklet – and can choose to receive exclusive updates about the animals they’re helping.
