Hi everyone,

This fun event is open to everyone, your dog does not need to have any connection whatsoever with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Its just a nice way to support their cause. The event is free although entering your dogs into competitions etc will carry a small donation. This will be the third year running that I have been to this event and my dog Casey really enjoys the day out.

Battersea Park will become a dog paradise this September for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home’s Annual Reunion. There will be thousands of owners and their dogs, who will be taking part in lots of fun activities, such as a dogs’ tea party, fancy dress and a dandiest dog competition. There will also be a funfair, a ‘doggie dancing’, or heelwork to music display, pet tag engraving and much, much more.

As part of their 150th anniversary celebrations, Battersea is hoping to gather lots of stories which they can use in their magazines and maybe even in the press. Maybe you rehomed a dog or cat from Battersea decades ago, have a heroic hound or courageous cat or your parents, or even grandparents, told you stories about Battersea in days gone by – if so, they'd love to hear all about it! So, if you’re a dog or cat lover, a Battersea lover, or you have a fantastic story to tell, why not come along to their Annual Reunion on 13 September and join in the fun. You can also email [masked] to tell them your story.

Hope you can come along with your dog/dogs. The event finishes around 4pm-4:30pm and so its a whole day out.

    The weather forecast is looking good! On arrival look for my brindle Staffy cross or Robert's larger Saluki Cross, Doug.

    We are meeting at 11am which is when the event starts. If you want to register your dogs into any competitions I suggest you don't come much after this time or you could miss out. There is a registration tent as it is usually about Ł2 per competition to enter your dog. There are lots of stalls as well selling all sorts of pet products.

       Had such a great time! 
    •  Cloudy but dry, the dogs enjoyed socialising and there were some nice stalls. A very pleasant full day out.
