10 ANNUAL REVIEW 2022
REHOME
A cloudless Skye
Skye suffered terrible neglect and cruelty,
but now she's a happy, healthy dog who has
made a home complete.
We found Skye close to death, locked in a kitchen with
no food or chance of escape.
Thankfully, she pulled through after intensive
rehabilitation in our care, and was ready to find the
loving home she really deserved.
Carrie and husband Phil had always wanted a dog to
complete their home, but they were both out at
work all day. "I was working from home during the
pandemic, but I knew it would be wrong to get a dog
if I had to return to the office some day," says Carrie.
"Some people got 'lockdown pets' without a thought
of the future. We couldn't do that to a dog." But then
everything changed. Carrie's employer said she could
work from home for good. Carrie and her husband
began searching for a rescue dog straight away and
soon found Skye.
"She's come so far, and we're very lucky to have her,"
says Carrie.
Wilson finds his soulmate
After being dumped by a roadside, Wilson now lives a life of
luxury with his best bunny.
The pandemic, followed by the cost-of-living crisis, led to a huge increase
in rabbits coming into RSPCA care. Wilson was one of them, callously
abandoned with nine siblings. But he's now an important part of his adopter
Beth's family.
Beth wanted a companion for her bereaved rabbit Bailey. Although the two
rabbits needed a month or two to bond properly they are now inseparable
and loving life in an insulated shed with an attached run and lots of
enrichment. With CCTV installed, Beth and family enjoy watching their
antics as they play. The two rabbits also spend time in the house with the
family, living their best lives.
Our cover star Skye in her new home.
Rehome
Once our animals have been nursed back
to health and strength, it's time to find
new, loving homes that are just perfect
for them, whatever their needs.
