Rehoming successes

There is nothing quite like the feeling we get from successfully rehoming an animal.


Especially when so many of the ones we see have been abandoned, abused or neglected. We carefully match each pet to the right new owner, so that each animal is a rehoming success.


It's great to think we have helped make a difference to an animal's life. Here are just some of our success stories. 

  • Shar pei brothers Buster and Bailey © RSPCA Buster and Bailey

    Buster and Bailey came into our care after a change in their previous owner's circumstances. The pair were struggling to find a home together.

  • Rehomed collie Rover © RSPCA Rover

    Rover's owners had failed to provide him with proper veterinary care, leaving this elderly dog to suffer unnecessarily.

  • Rehoming success black cat Midnight © RSPCA Midnight

    Midnight was twice the size of a normal cat when he was abandoned at one of our animal centres.

  • Lurcher Gyp after his rehabilitation © RSPCA Gyp

    A dog who was left for dead is now enjoying a fantastic new life with loving new owners, thanks to the efforts of a local vet, RSPCA staff and a dog called Clipper.

  • White and black cat Nudger © RSPCA Nudger

    Nudger's previous life as a stray had lead to health problems that he will never fully recover from, Nudger needed a special new owner who would understand this.

  • Grey tortoiseshell cat Primrose © RSPCA Primrose and Dudley

    Primrose and Dudley have both found their perfect home with a volunteer cat socialiser who travelled 270 miles just to meet them.

  • Rehomed patterdale terrier Max © RSPCA Max

    Six-year-old Patterdale terrier Max had a terrible start to his life. He was cruelly beaten and suffered from a severe infection in both ears, which was left untreated.

    Five-year-old Bandit was abandoned in West Yorkshire. He was taken in by our West Suffolk Branch and staff set about finding him a new home.

    Staffie Yani came into our care with stab wounds, who knows what else had happened to her. Now Yani has a fantastic home with owners who love her.
