As a dog lover, and owning 4 dogs throughout her life (Roly, Oscar, Piggie and Henri) she wanted to help Battersea Dogs Home continue their tireless work to give every dog a home where they are treated with love, care and respect. Maureen rehomed Oscar from Battersea, and Roly spent a few nights in their kennels after wandering off when Maureen had gone on holiday. She thought their commitment to the welfare of each dog was outstanding and wanted to continue to support them in their quest to give every dog the best life possible.
