Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Speed-dating will be given a furry twist when homeless and unwanted dogs are matched with prospective new owners during a special meet and greet next month.
Staff and volunteers from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home will be cast in the role of cupid during the event at Battersea Park on September 6.
Eight of the re-homing centre's most desperate inhabitants will be present at the charity's first dog matchmaking event, with the charity's supporters helping pair animals with prospective new owners.
They include nine-year-old Jack Russell terrier siblings Cherry and Chumley, whose owner recently died, a four-year-old Akita-cross called Prince, and an American bulldog puppy called Abu.
Thousands of people and their dog are expected to attend Battersea's annual reunion and fun day, from 11am to 4.30pm.
