Battersea has made the difficult decision not to host any Muddy Dog Challenge events in 2025. Unfortunately, due to rising costs it is no longer sustainable for us to run these events.
Over the past nine years, we have truly loved organising the 56 events we’ve held across the UK, and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of the 35,000 participants who took part in a Muddy Dog Challenge and supported Battersea. Your generosity has been vital to our work, and we simply couldn’t have done it without you. We’d also like to thank every volunteer who gave up their time to help us deliver these events.
There are plenty of ways to continue supporting Battersea, from participating in events like our annual Walk for Rescue to sponsoring our cat cabins and dog kennels.
