The iconic TV and radio presenter became an ambassador for Battersea in 2012
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has been “overwhelmed and touched” by donations from the public which have passed £100,000 after the unexpected death of the charity’s ambassador Paul O’Grady, aged 67.
In a statement to the PA news agency, chief executive Peter Laurie said: “Over the coming weeks and months, Battersea will be finding the best way to pay tribute to our wonderful friend and ambassador, the late, great Paul O’Grady MBE. Mr Laurie previously said that Paul was a “genuine animal lover” and his “real legacy” is how he showed the British public and an international audience how “lovable and incredible” rescue dogs are, inspiring people to adopt and rehome.
During the first series of For The Love Of Dogs, Paul rehomed Eddie, a Chihuahua-Jack Russell cross puppy, at his Kent farmhouse. We reported previously how touching and comical as always the programme was, which aired on Wednesday earlier this week.
