The RSPCA was formed almost 200 years ago, in 1824, and their vision is “to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion.”

As well as helping to rescue, treat and re-home thousands of animals each year, they have also been involved in changing the law in order to better protect animals, including the Hunting Act 2004 and an EU directive regarding protection of animals used for scientific purposes in 2010.

“If you are thinking of welcoming an animal into your life we would always urge people to look into adopting a rescue pet, as our centres are full of animals of all shapes and sizes looking for forever homes.

“Here at the RSPCA, we think every animal deserves a second chance in a new home and we are extremely grateful to everyone who adopts a rescue animal.

“If you are confident that a pet is the right addition to your home, the RSPCA recommends visiting a rescue centre with all the family so they can pick a pet which will be best suited to their particular lifestyle.

Pets are a lifelong commitment, so we urge people to consider carefully before adopting a pet to ensure that this pet will be loved for life.”
