A week in Viila Scaparzi will be offered on auction on the evening of the 1st of November at the Collars & Coats Gala Ball, in aid of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

You can bid on the week before the evening of the event on this silent auction page: Villa Scaparzi Page on the Collars and Coats Auction. Bidding has already started as I write this, with the first bid just popping up!

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home say of themselves: "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."

Our dog is a rescue dog, so we were delighted to be asked to help raise money for  Battersea Dogs and Cats Home's good work. And we picked a villa from our Dog Friendly Collection, so that if you bid and win you can take your furry friends with you.
