Queen Camilla Debuts the Cutest Photo of Her Puppy Moley, After Meeting an Array of Sweet Pups During Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Visit

Queen Camilla and her rescue puppy Moley from Battersea Dog and Cats Home, of which she is patron, pose for a portrait in the garden of her home Ray Mill House in the village of Lacock in July, 2025 in Wiltshire, England.

Queen Camilla is a self-proclaimed dog lover, and she appears to be smitten with her new puppy Moley. After sadly announcing the death of her rescue dog Beth in late 2024, Queen Camilla decided to adopt Moley from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. On July 14, The Queen visited the charity, of which she's a royal patron, where she met a plethora of adorable pups. Following the visit, the Royal Family released a brand new picture of Camilla holding Moley, and it's truly something to behold.

Sharing the photo on the Royal Family's Instagram account, the caption explained, "It was a fantastic afternoon at @Battersea—we are so grateful for all that you do!" The caption continued, "Whilst Moley was keeping cool at home, she wishes she could have been reunited with some of her old friends!"

The Royal Family's post also shared a bounty of information from Battersea on "keeping pets cool in the heat." From taking "regular breaks in the shade" during dog walks to ensuring "furry friends have plenty of water available to keep hydrated," the social media post showed Queen Camilla's dedication to caring for animals.
