Meet Esme, the Bulldog with the biggest heart ❤ Esme likes to spend her days snoring in the Deputy managers office, but will always wake up for a cuddle with anyone who pops in to say hi. She then loves to smother people with loud, wet, snuffly kisses. Esme has a condition called dry eye, so has to stay on eye drops twice a day for the rest of her life. Esmes dream home would be with people who understand the breed and the costs that inevitably come with brachycephalic dogs, and who don't mind loud snoring! Esme promises she will pay her new family back by keeping them entertained and supplied with endless amounts of affection.

Gloria is back to do another blanket appeal on behalf of all her doggy friends here at the centre. She is lucky enough to have a home, but she remembers what it is like to sleep in a kennel, and knows that lots of blankets to snuggle under are not only warm and comfy, but provide a feeling of safety!
Our shelves have become scarily empty, and the weather is still feeling pretty cold, so if you have any unwanted blankets, throws, or fleeces you could donate, we would really appreciate your help.
Thank you so much ❤

Rocco, now known as Sabre, arrived with his two littermates as a puppy, having been rescued from unsuitable conditions by an RSPCA Inspector. The trio were large, energetic, and in dire need of socialisation. Unfortunately, they had to endure a long wait for a court hearing before they could be rehomed. His sister Bella was lucky enough to be fostered throughout her journey, and his brother is still looking or a home (details at end of post) Luckily there was a hopeful future ahead for Rocco. His fosterer Pip, (now his Mum) has written the update below ❤
I had been fostering Sabre (was Rocco) on and off for weekend respite since the Summer of 2024. He got on well with my gorgeous rescue English Bulldog, BeBe, and we fell in love with him pretty quickly.
Due to the circumstances he wasn't available for adoption until Winter 2024.
After lots of thought, I decided to take him on as a long term foster, which meant he was in a home for Christmas, and on the 1st February 2025 I officially adopted him.
He is full of energy, and needs lots of love and attention and it was a decision that I didnt take lightly. However over time I realised that he could be as good for me, as I could be for him.
Sabre has settled in well, is playful, he loves a cuddle, and is the perfect sleeping buddy. He enjoys his regular walks and although is still a bit nervous on road walks, he has gone from strength to strength and is much less anxious than he used to be. Many of his other behaviours have calmed and clearly being in a home is good for him.
He adores his new big sister, BeBe, his cat sister, Pumpkin and his doggy cousins Toucy and Mako and has many new doggy friends that he is being introduced to slowly.
Sabre has also been to the pub several times and has coped amazingly well. He has been on holiday to Wales, swam in an ice cold waterfall, along with dips in the sea. He loves new experiences and is full of joy, as a young dog should be.
I am still at the start of our journey together, but, I know he is going to be a wonderful addition to my life, in many ways.
I truly believe in the power of fostering and adopting animals, as there are so many that need our love ❤

Lovely Lady Lizzy needs a home 💔

As much as we love having Lizzy with us and getting giant cuddles every day, we'd much rather she was settled into a cosy new home surrounded by a family who love her as much as we do.
This gorgeous girl has sadly been looking for a home for over 100 days and is starting to feel disheartened. Surely someone out there has a special place in their home and heart for Lizzy?

Offer her a loving new home now: https://tinyurl.com/mr2zv9un

Meet Bailey, a most distinguished gentleman! Bailey has been very lucky to have spent the last few months in a foster home with Paula and her family, where he has shown himself to be the perfect gent. He is housetrained, good with dogs, loves to be close to his people, and enjoys hanging out in coffee shops, where he gets lots of admiration! Bailey would suit a home where he has lots of company, as he prefers not to be alone too much. If you love a chunky dog, who prefers chilling to going on long walks, then he could be the perfect boy for you.

If you take a moment to sit down in her company, Blossom will quickly make her way onto your lap for some cuddles and belly rubs and she would stay like this all day if she could.

About our Centre

Here at the RSPCA West Hatch Animal Centre, most of our animals have been rescued from neglect and bad treatment by their previous owners.

We look after dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and many other types of small domestic animals - at any one time we could be caring for over 150 animals.We spend weeks, sometimes months, rehabilitating them and preparing them for a new life and a second chance.

It costs the RSPCA over £1000 a day to run the West Hatch Animal Centre. The RSPCA relies entirely on kind donations from people like you.

The RSPCA West Hatch Animal Centre takes in animals from RSPCA Inspectors only. The demand for spaces for the animals they bring to us is ever increasing and we are therefore unable to accept unwanted pets or stray animals from members of the public. We are able to provide information on centres that can re-home animals for the public on request.
