We’ve got a very busy weekend ahead with lots of meets booked in and puppies starting to head to their new homes. If it takes us a little longer to answer calls or respond to emails, this is why!

We appreciate your patience and support during these busy times ❤️

Here’s Bentley enjoying the snow-he’s reserved and hoping to head home soon! ❄️🐶

Lovely Honey, now called Peach, is enjoying her fresh start with her new family! 🍑
She’s settling in wonderfully, loves curling up on her blanket, and is showing more of her personality every day. 💕✨

Lumi has given her all to her 10 beautiful pups. Now it’s her turn to be cared for. 💛
She’s gentle, sweet, and bonds deeply with her people. She may find being alone hard at first, so she’ll need someone patient and present at all times to help her feel safe.

We’re searching for a foster-to-adopt home so we can get her spayed and ensure this was her last litter.
Think you can give Lumi the safe, loving future she deserves? 🐾

Happy ending 🐾

Beautiful Dotty landed on all four paws in her wonderful forever home! Her wonderful family send us a lovely update :

"We just wanted to update you on how Dotty has been getting on over the last few months. She has just come back from her holidays in the lakes, she loved it ! Her favourite thing seems to be paddling in the water, being in the fields and finding sticks but only if they are double her size, and of course loves a cuddle and a treat or two. She is up to her perfect weight! She is the best addition to our family. As her grandma says “we should’ve put the lottery on!"

Thank you so much for giving Dotty a second chance 💜

We always love to see how previous residents are doing in their homes, if you have adopted from us in the past please feel free to email us updates 💜

Happy ending 🐾

Chilli came to us as part of a case a tiny puppy earlier on in the year. Thanks to our amazing fosterers, he got used to a life in a comfy home whilst he was getting ready for adoption. His new family found him and fell in love with him. Chilli has been in his new home a few months now and is settling really well. His family said this:

He is loving life! He’s been to the beach, he’s been for lots and lots of walks in the woods, he’s been on his first holiday which was amazing! He puts himself to bed each night, about 10:30 even if we are still up he will just stroll into his crate. He loves his crate with blankets over it, we think it’s his happy place. We love him, adopting him from the RSPCA was the best thing we’ve done as a couple.

Thank you for giving Chilli the second chance he deserves 💙

Happy ending for Kiki 🐾

You may remember Kiki from our page over the last few months. Kiki found life in the kennels very stressful, and found other dogs scary. We knew she needed a comfortable home to be able to work through her fears and continue her valuable training. We are happy to say that Kiki has found her forever home over the last few weeks, and is settling in well 💙

🎄🎁 Our Christmas Shoebox Appeal Is LIVE! 🎁🎄

This Christmas, many of our lovely residents - cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, and even our tiny gerbil - will be spending the holidays with us while they wait for their forever homes. 💕🐾
We want to make Christmas Day extra special for every one of them… and you can help!

How to take part:
🎁Grab a shoebox and wrap it (lid separately if possible!).
🎁Fill it with goodies - we’ve shared lots of ideas in our video!
🎁Label the box with the animal it’s for.
🎁Pop in to see us and place it under our Christmas tree (going up VERY soon! 🎄).

Every treat, toy, blanket, and surprise helps make their day magical. ❤️

💛 Can't visit the centre but still want to help?
Our Amazon Wishlist is still live, and donations sent through it go directly to the animals who need them most. Your support makes the biggest difference, near or far.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2BZUVYGMHPOEB/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

✨ Stay tuned in December for our animals’ Letters to Santa, where they’ll be sharing their Christmas wishes this year!

Thank you for helping us bring warmth, love, and wagging tails to the shelter this festive season. 🐶🐱🐰🐹✨
