Your Winter Sponsorship update – Dog Kennels

Your Sponsorship transformed Venus from a terrified dog into a confident girl who loves to learn. Thanks to you, her wait for a forever family is filled with care and comfort.

Venus’s long journey

Some dogs need more time than others to find homes. This might be because they need specialist care, have specific requirements, or are part of ongoing prosecution cases where rehoming isn’t possible until legal proceedings are concluded. Others, like Venus, are completely ready and have so much love to give – they just haven’t met their special person yet.

Thanks to your RSPCA Sponsorship, we provide nutritious food, daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep them happy during their stay. Your support means every dog is loved, no matter how long their journey home takes.

Venus is lovely – she just can’t live with children or animals. This might be why she keeps being overlooked.

Ready for love

Venus has now spent eight months in our care – far longer than any dog should wait. But thanks to your Sponsorship, she receives everything she needs to stay happy. Your support provides the puzzle toys that keep her clever mind busy, the cosy bedding where she stretches out, and the training treats that make her tail wag.

We hope Venus finds her forever family before the festive season, but your support means she’ll be surrounded by warmth, love and extra fuss throughout the celebrations – keeping her spirits bright as she waits for her special someone.
