Help Battersea Dogs and Cats Home - Make a new best friend

Hello and thank you for taking an interest in my blog! My name is Bethany and trying to help Domestic Animal Abuse is something I feel very strongly about. The charity that I am advocating for is Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. A lot of people already know about the suffering of animal cruelty but there is more to it than that. Like Flipper who is pictured below. After you have read my blog, I hope you will know more about my charity Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, Domestic Animal Abuse and what Flipper went through and feel you want to help. Here is his story.

This irresistible grey Staffie puppy was found in a cardboard box in Croydon, sick, barely eight weeks old, with no fur, and struggling to get around on her wonky back legs. Christened Flipper after the dolphin in the TV series, she quickly grew into a right little character with a unique walking style, and was rehomed after 44 days at Battersea.

Flipper was able to have a “new” life thanks to Battersea. If they hadn’t found him in the box, he wouldn’t be his happy self and wouldn’t have a loving family to look after him. Battersea have cared for over 3 million dogs and cats since it opened in 1860 and it’s only £24 to look after a dog for a day and £353 to care for a cat for their whole stay. This includes keeping them safe and well fed.



Thank you again for reading my blog. To help me, please post me your thoughts. It would also be great if you could write a short paragraph for the questions below and help Battersea in any way you can! More details for Battersea can be found at www.battersea.org.uk. Please help dogs and cats and give them a life they need.
  • Have you heard of Battersea before you read my blog and what they do to help animals in need of survival?
  • Do you feel more informed about my charity and the ways they help dogs and cats?
  • Would you do any of the activities listed below in help of Battersea?
  1. Do a sponsored something for Battersea.
  2. Make a donation
  3. Tell your friends and family about this charity.
  4. Sign up to Battersea’s Newsletter.
If you write a response, please include where you come from: i.e., your home town and if not in the U.K, your country

Thank You again
