RAISING MONEY FOR BATTERSEA’S DOGS AND CATS
At Battersea we offer our love and expert care to dogs and cats who need us by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals at our centres, and by sharing our knowledge and resources with rescue organisations around the world. We do this because we want to help every dog and cat, everywhere.
Did you know that Battersea relies entirely on donations to care for the dogs and cats at our centres, and even those we may never meet? By taking part in the Muddy Dog Challenge and raising £100 (or more!) you’ll help us continue to be here for every dog and cat.
We ask every muddy dog participant to fundraise £100 to help care for the dogs and
cats in our centres and beyond

Ways to send in your money
There are several options for you to choose from in order to send in your £100 sponsorship money for the Muddy Dog Challenge. You will have up to one month after the event to complete your fundraising, so you do not need to have raised the full amount by the event day.
If you have collected cash donations then you can pay them into your bank account and make a payment of that amount on your JustGiving page. This will then come to us automatically.
If you would prefer to make an online payment you can pay in your full fundraising amount using our online form.
If you would like to send a cheque, please make it out to 'Battersea Dogs & Cats Home' and send it to 4 Battersea Park Road, London, SW8 4AA. Please include a money return form. Download our money return form.
