Mr Dennis Elms

From the moment we welcomed our first stray dog in 1860 we have been placing our animals at the centre of everything we do. More than three million animals later, we're still working hard to achieve our vision that every dog and cat should live in a home where they are treated with love, care and respect.

Battersea aims to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help, caring for them until their owners or loving new homes can be found, no matter how long it takes. We are champions for, and supporters of, vulnerable dogs and cats, determined to create lasting changes for animals in our society.

Owned by former model and documentary maker Jodie Marsh, Fripps Farm is currently home to over 250 animals, many of which have been saved from slaughter. Jodie gives a loving home to animals that are either unwanted or in danger of being put to sleep/slaughtered. With the correct nutrition, care and expertise Jodie has also brought sick or injured animals back from the brink of death. Followers of the farm can clearly see how loved the animals are and how special Jodie’s bond is with them. Take a look for yourself; particular favourites are Mabel who cleans Jodie’s teeth and Tinkerbell the puppy/foal. All animals welcome at Fripps Farm.
