The temporary Home for lost and starving Dogs, Battersea Park Road, (removed from Holloway.) Established October 2nd, 1860. The late Mrs. Tealby was the foundress and unwearied benefactress of this Institution. In 1875 more than 3,200 dogs were either restored to their former owners, or sent to new homes, being an increase of 1094, over the previous year. The home has been visited by many of the nobility and gentry, and by great kennel owners, and all have expressed themselves very much pleased with the cleanliness, and general good order, which they have observed. It is gratifying to know that of the many thousands of dogs which have been brought into the home there has been no case of hydrophobia. Every precaution is taken by the committee not to allow any dog to be sold for the horrid purpose of vivisection. There are in stock at the home more than 300 dogs. Keeper at the home—Mr. J. Pavitt; open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; (the home is entirely closed on Sunday.)
"I cannot understand that morality which excludes animals from human sympathy, or release man from the debt and obligation he owes to them."—Sir John Bowring.
"He prayeth best, who loveth best;
All creatures great and small;
For the great God who loveth us,
He made and loves them all"—Coleridge.
"With eye upraised, his master's look to scan,
The joy, the solace, and the aid of man;
The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend.
The only creature faithful to the end."
