Battersea’s 150th pups

Meet Mary. She is one of six adorable puppies at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Old Windsor who is looking for a warm home this winter. Could that be with you?
The litter of six Staffordshire Bull Terrier pups have all been named after significant figures in Battersea’s 150 year history, including Mary Tealby, Battersea’s founder, Sarah Major, Mary’s friend and one of the original committee members, and James Pavitt, Battersea’s first keeper.
Mary and her siblings were born into the world after their mum was brought in as a stray and heavily pregnant. She came in to the care of Battersea on 8 October and gave birth to her litter just days later on 15 October.
Vicky Snook Senior Rehomer at Battersea Old Windsor said: “Battersea wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Mary Tealby. Her legacy has helped care for over three million dogs and cats and we thought it would be a nice tribute to name these gorgeous puppies after some of the people who made all of this possible.”
Mary, Sarah, Emily, Carlton, James and Charles will be ready to go to their new homes from 10 December. If you would like to find out more please contact Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Old Windsor on 01784 494443 or email bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk.
