Reading FC have donated footballs to dogs

The four-legged residents at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home have a new hobby thanks to Reading FC.

The premier league club have donated two sacks of footballs, to keep the Battersea dogs entertained while they wait for a new home. The club also donated funds for canine toys and treats.

"It's always good to see our old equipment put to good use and it's great that the dogs can benefit from our used footballs," said Selby Armstrong, Reading FC Kit Manager.

One resident making full use of the donation is eight month old American bull dog, Spud. Ready to be rehomed, Spud had a great time testing out the balls at the Priest Hill Centre!

Kaye Mughal, manager of Battersea's Old Windsor Centre, said: "We are so grateful to Reading FC for the wonderful donation and these balls never fail to give our dogs lots of entertainment and exercise.

"We do as much as we can to keep the dog's lives as exciting as possible while they are waiting to find their perfect home, and donations like this are incredibly important to keep the dogs active and happy."
