Your fundraising helps dogs like Enzo, Doris and Nando

Enzo spent 36 days at Battersea. Will you walk 36km in October for dogs like Enzo?

1-year-old Labrador Enzo came to our Old Windsor centre after a change in his owner's circumstances. His energetic, charming personality shone through straight away – and his love for toys! But our team noticed that he could sometimes get stressed and overstimulated. They created a care plan to keep Enzo calm, and help him relax into his surroundings. After 36 days in our care, Enzo was ready to go to a loving new home.

Doris spent 66 days at Battersea. Will you walk 66km in October for dogs like Doris

10-year-old Doris the French Bulldog came to our Old Windsor centre after her owner could no longer keep her. Gentle Doris had lost her appetite and needed a special hypoallergenic diet. She also needed surgery for a respiratory condition called brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), which is common in flat faced dogs. After 66 days of expert care from our team, Doris went to a new home.

Nando spent 99 days at Battersea. Will you walk 99km in October for dogs like Nando?

Nando was 5 years old when he came to Battersea from another rescue. Although we didn't know much about his past, Nando's kind soul was clear to see. But the gentle boy was worried by our kennels. So, he was looked after by one of our dedicated foster carers, to give him space to relax and get used to life as a pet. After 99 days with us, Nando found his perfect home.
