Leagh and Hannah, who both work at Battersea Dogs Home Windsor, were so helpful in supplying all the necessary information and advice prior to us rehoming Blossom, our beautiful Greyhound. We were not rushed into making any commitment to rehome, and they took their time in explaining the characteristics of rehoming a Greyhound. Their help was invaluable. I would 100% recommend anyone interested in rehoming a dog, to get in touch with Battersea Dogs Home in Windsor. I can't thank them enough for introducing Blossom to us and the love she has given us ❤️.

I really can not understand why I have not had a single match for a dog. After three months told in a strange way to look else where. Own my home have large secure garden.Partner works from home no children. Had a rescue dog before from RSPCA he lived with us for 15 years untill he passed away. Was looking for any terrier type as my last one was a patterdale. Feel rather miffed why not suitable and to look else where after 3 months waiting.
The team at Battersea is incredible! We rehomed a Battersea cat recently and the entire process, from applying, to matching, and being able to bring home our new pet has been very well managed and straightforward. We're very thankful to the team for the work they do and how well they look after the animals in their care.

I have adopted over 10 rescue dogs & have to say Battersea was by far the best experience I have had.
Applied Thursday, got call Friday & arranged viewing for Saturday. Took my dog along & meet was very well done. No rushing & thorough.
Was easy to adopt & got lots of info, enough food for fortnight, collar & lead.
Great folder with everything you need.
Got a follow up call a week later & all great.
Fab.

I hate to leave reviews like this , especially when you do some great work but i have to say one of your staff members on Friday 6th March in Crufts was beyond rude to me and my family. He called us to come over as we were passing ( we were leaving) and i politely declined and said no thank you and we continued to walk away. I could then hear him making rude comments about me to another member of your staff on the stall and sniggering. Will definitely be avoiding your stall if you are at Crufts next year. No one deserves to be subjected to that type of behaviour.

Everyone at Battersea that helped with the adoption of Bear was extremely helpful, understanding and clearly cared about our beautiful boy.
We have been gifted with an amazing new member to our family and will be forever grateful x

The entire team were amazing and incredibly helpful. From the first phone call saying they had a kitten for us to the follow up to find out how our first night was and how he has settling in.
Thank you for the little bundle of energetic fur that you matched our family with.

Our experience with Battersea has been outstanding. The love, care and professionalism shown by every member of staff was truly impressive. From the first introduction to the comprehensive welcome pack, the information provided about how to support and train our new pet was incredibly valuable and reassuring.
It’s very clear that the dogs are well looked after and genuinely cared for while they are at Battersea. We felt supported throughout the process and never rushed or pressured.
We would absolutely choose to rehome from Battersea again and are so grateful for everything they do ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Battersea are so helpful with giving advice and support every step of the way. Their re-homing team is always there if needed.
I have fostered many cats for Battersea, I highly recommend the role and everyone is always so supportive.
So now I have been paired with my 'forever' cat and we are both very happy!

I have just re-homed my fourth Battersea Dog, three previously from Battersea Old Windsor and my latest addition to the family was from Battersea Central. I cannot praise enough the love and care that is given to all of the cats and dogs from the wonderful team of Battersea staff. They give the best advice and have great knowledge regarding each individual animal that they are concerned with. I encourage people to re-home rather than buy a pup or kitten, there are so many dogs and cats that need loving, safe homes. I am so lucky to have had such wonderful dogs over the last 30 years from Battersea, even if you can’t re-home help can always be given by sponsoring a kennel or donating directly. Thank you Battersea for all that you do, I am forever in your debt. 🐾🐾🐾
