True love can be hard to find these days, but there is none truer than that lavished on us by our dogs. To celebrate this dogged devotion, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in Old Windsor is holding a special Valentine’s Day event on Saturday 11th February. Dog lovers – and their four legged best friends – are welcome to visit the centre and revel in Puppy Love.
Visitors will be able to make use of a special canine kissing booth to get a paw-fect Valentine’s Day photo with their dog. Those who are currently dog-less are welcome to look for love among Battersea’s gorgeous residents. Money raised by the event will be put to use ensuring all the dogs in Battersea’s care – and more arrive every day - get a great quality of life.
Battersea Old Windsor’s Regional Community Fundraiser coordinator Janet Brewer said: “As well as the canine kissing booth, there will be a raffle with amazing prizes and a craft table where children can make their own special Valentine’s Day cards. Visitors will also be able to enjoy hot drinks and home-made cakes, and there will be delicious doggy treats for canine family members to enjoy.”
