RSPCA  Isle of Wight Branch Registered Charity No 205311 We provide care and support for all of the Island's animals including a diverse range of wildlife.
(49)

The Isle of Wight Branch of the RSPCA is an independent charity operating under the rules and conditions of the nationally recognised RSPCA. We are entirely funded by the generosity of the local community and all monies raised on the Island are solely for the benefit of Island animals. We house, care for and rehome a great diversity of domestic animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds

and other small animals. We also care for sick and injured wildlife with the full intention of getting these animals fit to be released back to the wild. We firmly believe that every animal in our care deserves a chance in life and it is our policy to never put down an animal unless advised to do so for medical or safety reasons. If you have any queries about rehoming or adopting an animal or need any advice about general animal care, please do not hesitate to contact the Branch on 01983 840287. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE WELFARE OF AN ANIMAL OR FIND A SICK OR INJURED WILD ANIMAL, PLEASE RING THE CRUELTY LINE ON: 0300 1234 999

They are looking for spacious accommodation with plenty of sleeping and enrichment areas ✨

🫢🏼 If you think you can offer Clara and Hazel the space they need, please contact our smalls team on 01983 840287 or email [email protected] πŸ’—

Ovie is still hopeful he will find his forever home! πŸ₯°

He came into our care due to no fault of his own and has been with us over 200 days πŸ₯Ί He's a sweet boy who's a little goofy (I think the video backs this up πŸ˜‚).

Ovie does have a Heart Murmur but he's on manageable meds and it doesn't stop him from having fun! πŸ˜†

🚨 Pebbles Update πŸ₯Ί

We hoped we would have better news at this stage. We have had an abundance of people enquiring, unfortunately all suitable applications have changed their minds. 😞

There have been a lot of calls and emails from people with animals already in the home. Pebbles is not at the stage where she could live with another animal and the CCAB Behaviourists are in agreement with this. ❗Please refrain from contacting our team if your home environment is not suitable.

Our team have been working tirelessly to get Pebbles's criteria altered to open up her opportunities. After communications with our qualified CCAB Behaviourists and a progression in Pebbles training - it has been approved that Pebbles can now go to a solo, strong confident handler and live in a home with a 16 year old. We're also able to consider applications across the mainland.🀞🏼

⭐ Please reshare this post to let others know of the altered criteria. πŸ™πŸΌ

Thank you to all those who have been sharing far and wide, including other RSPCA Branches.Our team appreciates all your thoughtful comments during this time 🫢🏼

❗Please note emails will be monitored over Christmas but our phone lines will be off on the 25th & 26th. Please email [email protected] ❗

🦒 Ted, our temporary Branch Manager, got called out to a swan trapped in Sandham Gardens this morning, next to the lake by Dinosaur Isle. πŸ¦•

πŸ«±πŸ»β€πŸ«²πŸΌ With help from the key holders, who quickly arrived to unlock the gates for us, Ted was able to guide the swan safely back onto the water. πŸ™πŸΌ

In the compound, the swan did not have the space to get airborne, so our help was definitely needed. πŸ˜‡

🚨We have until December 31st to find wonderful Pebbles a home due to the incoming ban on rehoming American XL Bullies.
Pebbles is approximately 2 and half years old and came from a case of neglect and abandonment; through all this she is such a wonderful dog and we’d love to see her in a fabulous forever home being adored like she deserves. πŸ₯°

Everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Pebbles has fallen in love with her, she really has touched all our hearts. πŸ’•

If you are looking for a dog which loves fusses and companionship for the rest of their life, then Pebbles is absolutely the one for you.
This loveable girl is looking for a really special home with owners who are committed to continue working with her. πŸ˜‡

She has been working with staff at the centre on a behaviour modification programme which will need to be continued by her new family. Trained staff at the centre will continue to support with this and for a limited time Pebble’s adopter will also have free support from a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist at Dogmestix.

❗Pebbles will need some time to settle into her new home so we would like to find people who are home most of the time, although she will be able to be left for short periods once settled. Pebbles is a very intelligent girl and a quick learner and has already progressed so well with her training.

She has done really well with her socialisation around other dogs and is now much happier walking in closer proximity to them, she will need continued work on this and should not be put into any situations where she may feel overwhelmed.

We are looking for a home for Pebbles where:
● She’s the only pet in the home
● There are at least two adults to ensure Pebble’s training is as effective as possible
● New owners must be able to provide a calm and predictable environment to assist with Pebbles transition into the new home
● Owners should ideally be based on the Isle of Wight so staff can continue to support behavioural training
● Her owners are committed to giving her a special diet to help with allergies and preventative ear medication (the centre will help with the costs of these)
● Owners are willing to continue the work advised by the behaviourist and accepting that there will be limitation in situations that Pebbles can cope with and places she can go during her training.

❗Pebbles is a large bull breed and if determined by the UK government in future as an illegal breed, under the new definition, the registered owner will be expected to comply with all necessary legal requirements in order to keep the dog. This may include keeping the dog on lead and muzzled at all times when out in public and maintaining third party insurance. For more information please see the national RSPCA advice on their website. You would also need to apply for exemption. The centre are happy to help provide support through this process.

We have until December 31st to find Pebbles perfect new home so would ask for applications from only those people who meet the criteria above. Thank you. πŸ™πŸ™

Please share this post as much as possible.
