That's why we end up with a lot of them. When we get the animals, we do all the necessary medical procedures before we release them. In addition to the breathing problems, these dogs often have lower back issues as well. It's really sad. Don't go for looks, go for health! 4) How has the internet made life more difficult for rescue organisations like Battersea? It's challenging that buying a dog nowadays can be so easy. It's like buying something from the internet: it's as easy as buying something like a kitchen appliance online. When someone wants a dog, they sometimes thave the same mentality. They use the internet to quickly find a dog, purchase it, and then afterwards they realise they've changed their mind. In those terms, it's a bit tricky. When we see a dog, we ask how the owner got them. Many people say online. It's extremely important for us know a dog's history so that we can rehome them to an appropriate household. Here, we're not like online shopping. It doesn't work like that.
Paul took a particular liking to a Jack Russell pup called Bonzo and a white boxer called Carmine, who've both been rehomed. Carmine, now renamed Elvis, was brought to Battersea by a family when he grew bigger than expected. New owner Roy Piggott says, 'When we met him he was full of joy. He wakes you by nuzzling his nose under the blankets. He's a lovely dog. How could anyone give him away? ' The programme shows what an amazing organisation Battersea is, handling 500 dogs across three sites. But it relies on people's goodwill. 'It wouldn't be possible without the volunteers who help us, ' says Ali. 'Around November we'll get dogs who've been spooked by fireworks, bolted and become strays. 'When the children go back to school we get dogs who are suddenly being ignored after six weeks of being with people, so become destructive. In February it's dogs people have been given for Christmas and haven't managed to house-train. But more and more often we're seeing happy results as the dogs are successfully rehomed. '
Kennel intake (Current Employee) - Brands Hatch - 5 January 2020 I volunteered at Battersea so cannot comment on salary issues. The best thing about working there was helping the animals and working with a kind, caring group of people who all pulled together. As a volunteer, they make me feel like part of the company and keep me motivated. They offer a series of workshops and training very valuable to me. The hardest part of the job is to see the abandon dogs suffer, but when I look at those dogs recover and being adopted by a lovely family, it is all worth it. Cons Having to see some dogs coming in a pretty bad shape. Trained with sole purpose to work at the world renowned Battersea dogs and cats welfare rehoming rescue. Within 3 months I realised very idealistic. As a nurse you once/ twice a week assist in such amazing healthy dogs and cats deemed " unsuitable for rehoming" the staff who sign these poor animals to death won't discuss their decision and on some occasions not even met that animal as put their name to this decision based on other unqualified staff Environment is coercive and bullying from management/ senior staff.

The internet has helped us spread awareness of how important it is to give a home to a shelter dog. We advertise our fundraisers and challenges that people join for fun and it helps to continue spreading awareness. A lot of people go past and see Battersea and immediately recognise it with excitement. We get many visitors who have either seen an ad online or one of our television shows on ITV. It has helped tremendously to show the life of a shelter dog. Sometimes when people want a dog, the first thing they think about is going online to find one, so it's important to us to make people aware that they can rehome a dog. 6) What advice would you give to a first time pet owner looking to adopt? We would check with the future owners if they have the right space and how much time they have – that's very important. We always ask the importatn questions: If you have a full-time job or if your partner hasn't, or how busy your household is, and if they have sufficient funds because the dog will need food and insurance.
