"The story that began in 1924 was the distress felt by animal lovers Louisa Snow and Dr Philip Peabody by the sheer number of pets left roaming the streets."
"But then came a bigger threat to the organisation in 1939 with the outbreak of the Second World War. The centre had to be used as a temporary safe haven for pets when their owners took shelter in Underground stations during air raids in the London Blitz."
