Hush Puppies to support Battersea Dogs Home
Howard Lake | 22 September 2003 | News
Hush Puppies (UK) Ltd has selected Battersea Dogs Home as its sole preferred charity and has pledged to support the Home with a wide range of fundraising initiatives.
Dog loving celebrity Tamara Beckwith is being ‘sponsored’ by the footwear company during London’s Fashion Week. For every show Tamara attends with her own dog Lux, Hush Puppies will make “a substantial contribution” to Battersea Dogs Home.
The Home will also benefit from an in-store campaign in which Hush Puppies will donate 10% of sales from every pair of Hush Puppies sold in 10 participating London outlets in the last week of September.

We firmly believe that this is the best way of ensuring our support makes a real difference.”
