The pups were born upon the exact same day that comic and broadcaster Paul O’Grady, famous for his love of dogs, regretfully died at the age of 67.
By method of homage to the late Battersea Dogs and Cats Home ambassador, Jerry Green Dog Rescue has actually called 2 of the 7 puppies after Paul O’Grady.

Centre Manager, Emma Pannell said: “Committing to looking after Lady and all of her puppies was something we just needed to do. It is what Jerry Green Dog Rescue exists to do, to support dogs when they require us the most, so we accepted the brand-new family without a reservation.
“Paul had a big influence on animal well-being organisations throughout the world, and his advocacy for
voiceless cats and dogs was indispensable to charities like ours.
