Kairi came to us as a very nervous dog who had had a sheltered life, we do not think she had experienced much outside of her home so was very wary of everything and everyone. Since being here, she has come on leaps and bounds quite literally, and is so much more confident.

Kairi loves cuddles with the people she knows and is such a sweet girl. Her favourite thing to do is bound around the compound, she is so playful and speedy and refuses to come back in when she is having too much fun. Her new family will need to be able to match her energy and give her lots of exercise and enrichment. She still can be wary of people but quickly comes round with a few treats. She is a good girl that knows a few basic commands but will thrive with further training. She can be unsure of dogs still so will need further socialising.

As we don’t know kairi’s history, we think it would be best for her to go to an adult only home with no other pets. If you think kairi could be the right dog for you, check out her page on our website and send in an application ❤️

Meet our resident gentle giant Kevin. Super sweet, super cuddly and super playful, it won’t take him long to win over your heart.

When Kevin sees you walking towards his kennel, he gets giddy with excitement. He’ll throw his toys in the air and wag his tail like no tomorrow but this smart boy will also sit as soon as he’s asked and wait patiently while you put his harness on and get him ready for a walk.

Due to his large size, Kevin can be strong when walking on the lead but it’s just because he’s so excited to get out and about, he always has his nose to the ground trying to find the best smells.

Kevin is always clean in his kennel, and could potentially live with a female dog in the home as long as they got along well during meets at the centre. As we don’t any history of Kevin living with children, we think it would be best he goes to an adult only home.

If you think Kevin could be the dog for you, check out his profile on our website linked in our bio and send in an application.

*Reserved*

Meet Summer, our little ray of sunshine on these frosty mornings ❄️

Summer was rescued by an RSPCA inspectorate after she was found in unsuitable conditions, where she allegedly spent the majority of her time in a crate and was malnourished. Since coming into our care, she has a new found love for life and spends her day spreading her infectious happiness to everyone she meets❤️

Summer is looking for an adult only home and could potentially live with a male dog as long as they get on well during visits to the centre. If summer sounds like your perfect match, send in an application form via our website https://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/search/details/-/Animal/SUMMER/ref/259373/rehome

Our girl Myrtle finally got her happily ever after 💙

Christmas Tales of Kindness: Day 30 🎄

Myrtle experienced painful mutilation by having her ears cropped and tail docked before being chained up and abandoned. She was in an emaciated state and had clearly been used for breeding when she arrived at RSPCA - Southridge 💔

Myrtle is the sweetest and gentlest girl you will meet, but sadly she continued to be overlooked by potential adopters due to her initially daunting appearance.

After seeing many of her friends come and go, it was finally time for Myrtle to get her happy ending and we're so pleased that she went to her forever home a couple of weeks ago!

Rehabilitation of animals like Myrtle wouldn't be possible without your support. Find out how your donations make a difference: https://bit.ly/4h0QDfn

We love receiving updates from all the animals we’ve rehomed! Sapphire was adopted six years ago, here’s what her owners have to say “I thought I would write a quick email to tell you all how appreciative I am, for all of the hard work that you do for the animals in your care.

I have attached a couple of photos of Sapphire, my beautiful Sharpei x Staff that I adopted,from Southridge, six years ago. She is without doubt the best thing to happen to me and my family. She brings immense joy to us all and is dearly loved. Even when she gets zoomies in the house early on a Sunday morning!

We celebrated her seventh birthday last week and I’m hoping we get to spend many more birthdays and days out with in the years to come.

Without the staff at Southridge we would not have had such a wonderful dog”

If you’ve adopted from us we’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment down below with a photo and let us know how they’re getting on ❤️

A lovely update from Vorda who left Southridge in 2012.

“When I collected Vorda, twelve years ago, little did I know that I was embarking on the most rewarding period of my life. Vorda, a Rottweiler/Shar Pei cross, had been cared for at Southridge for eleven months and the staff were anxious that I was fully committed to the welfare of the poor chap & not on a five-minute wonder. I managed that and on 8th December 2012 Vorda happily leapt into the back of my Honda CRV & came home with me. On arrival at my home he went straight to his bed, laid down & looked as if he had been there for ever & completely relaxed!
I hadn't realised that after 11 months in an institution he suffered from separation anxiety and became very vocal whenever I went to the next room or especially when I went out of the
front door. There were a few 'accidents' & little packages to begin with but with constant reassurance & cuddles he came to realise that I was coming back. He was totally at home in my car though.

As a four year old he had boundless energy & I remember him pulling one of my daughters across Chorleywood common on a toboggan on a snowy day. I worked as Operations Manager at Hatfield House so had plenty of opportunity to work off any excess energy on the huge estate of woods & parkland. He was a familiar figure across the estate and endeared himself to most people, his forbidding appearance put a few people on their guard, especially if they were misbehaving! After six years I retired and his energy meant that I could be constantly found on the highways & byways of South Bucks, in & out of the Rivers Chess & Misbourne.
His original problems with other dogs have completely disappeared & he socialises with dogs of all sizes, ages & breeds. He has been my constant companion since my retirement making taking holidays a bit of a mission. Life with Vorda is one long holiday so I have effectively given them up & we are spending our twilight years in each other's constant company with no regrets, certainly on my part.

I didn't appreciate the initial work I would have to put in to help Vorda through his 'institutionalisation' but his endearing character constantly shone through. As I have already said, adopting him has been THE most rewarding thing I have achieved and I would encourage everyone to take on an appropriate dog for them as a companion.”

Volunteer dog walkers like Sandra play a vital role in the work we do. We’d like to say one big thank you to all our lovely volunteers for everything they do for our animals ❤️

Sandra loves being a volunteer dog walker for RSPCA - Southridge - so much so she's been doing it for 22 years 👏

Whilst a spaniel devotee at heart, she's grown to love dogs she previously would have been wary of.

Our gorgeous mum and daughter duo are still looking for their forever home ❤️ please share to help them find their happily ever after

The team at RSPCA - Southridge have been busy working 9 to 5 to find the perfect home for mother and daughter pair, Dolly and Jolene ⏰

Poor Dolly was abandoned heavily pregnant and gave birth to three kittens, including Jolene and her two siblings who have since been rehomed.

Dolly is also deaf, so she needs a home where she can explore independently and safely with her curious and playful daughter.
