Battersea Dogs and Cats Home is a renowned animal welfare charity based in Battersea, London. Established in 1860, it's one of the UK's oldest and most famous rescue centres for dogs and cats. With a mission to never turn away a dog or cat in need, the organisation provides shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation to thousands of animals each year. Besides its rescue operations, Battersea also works tirelessly to rehome these animals with loving families, making it one of the best places to look if you want to adopt a dog in London. Its extraordinary efforts have made it a cherished institution, symbolising compassion and care for animals in the heart of the city.
