Hundreds of dogs found loving new homes last year, leaving Battersea's Old Windsor centre for a new adventure in 2022.

In total more than 400 dogs were helped by the centre, each with a unique character, quirks and lots of love to give.

The dedicated staff at each of the charity’s three centres work tirelessly to help them on their journey to find new homes that suit their individual characters and needs. 

Talking about the successful year for rehoming, Centre Manager at Battersea Old Windsor, Kaye Mughal said: “We would like to thank all of the new owners that rehomed from us last year, as well as our dedicated supporters, for choosing rescue and helping Battersea be there for dogs and cats everywhere.

"Dogs of all shapes and sizes come through our gates every year and 2022 was no different.

"Thanks to our hardworking teams, we have been able to successfully match over 400 of them with a wide variety of loving new owners.

"We look forward to helping more animals find their new homes in 2023.” 

Among those who found their new home in 2022 was Della, an affectionate three-year-old Cocker Spaniel who loved nothing more during her time at Battersea than exploring her surroundings and having a good sniff of everything she could set her nose upon.

Della arrived at Battersea as a stray and after over 60 days in the charity’s care, she got the happy ending she deserved and is enjoying going on lots of long, leisurely walks with her new family. 

Cocker Spaniels were among some of the top breeds of dogs to be rehomed from the centre for the year, a 175 per cent increase from 2021.

Other popular breeds that the Old Windsor site rehomed in 2021 include Jack Russell Terriers and German Shepherds.
