Christmas time is approaching and soon the season of giving will be upon us. Today we would like to talk about some of the many charities out there that are able to help dogs that come in to their care, for whatever reason that might be. Be it abandonment, owners are moving away, too many dogs have been bred or the pet is too old to name a few of the many reasons a dog might need their help.
Battersea Dogs Home
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home was established in 1860 and is a non-government funded organisation. Their aim is to never turn away any dog or cat that is in need of help and to care for them as long as it takes to find them a loving home to go to. They strive to make lasting changes for animals in society.

They specialise in the care and well-being of dogs whose aim is to rehabilitate and then find a new home for any dog that has been given up or abandoned by their owners.

Of course these charities don’t just operate over the festive period they are active all year round and most of them are non-profit, there just in it to help out the animals so why not give them a little thought this Christmas time.
