Thank you so much for choosing to support Battersea by taking part in the World Big Dog Walk Challenge! The event will see dogs and their owners walk a total of 24,901 miles together (thats the circumference of the Earth!) throughout the month of September.

If you have already signed up to take part, click on the 'Start fundraising' button to kick-start your fundraising today. Or if you'd rather make a one-off donation, click the 'donate' button. Either way, any money you raise will go a long way to helping the dogs (and cats) across Battersea's three centres.

From the moment we welcomed our first stray dog in 1860 we have been placing our animals at the centre of everything we do. More than three million animals later, we're still working hard to achieve our vision that every dog and cat should live in a home where they are treated with love, care and respect. Battersea does not receive any Government funding and so we rely on the generous donations from supporters like you, to care for our animals every day.

From all of us here at Battersea, thank you again for your support!
