Blood is boiling as I write this tweet.This dog has been found in Little Orton, Carlisle. Vets suspect he’s been beaten & set on fire. He may be broken but he’s also beautiful & distinctive. Let’s work together to find who did this. You can report any info anonymously 03001234999
Rescued a beautiful gentle giant of a dog yesterday that had been abandoned with no food or water. Sounds simple but having no legal powers it took hours to organise a vet and police officers to assist. All worth it in the end. Dog rescued & went to bed with a full belly ❤️🐶
Goodbye to my Bella who we parted ways with today. She's been my best friend since I was 22 and brought so much joy and love for over 16 years. What an incredible companion she's been. Absolutely gutted 💔
Have just rescued this ‘stray’ cat with an injury to the leg (cat bite abscess). Scanned him for a chip & his name is Rupert. He’s been missing since last March

owner burst into tears on phone. He’ll be going home this afternoon after 14 months! 🐈⬛ 🏡❤️

from the great team looking after him up at Ashlea vets in Cumbria. He’s up & about & doing well. Look at the state of the poor lad, extremely underweight too. Someone MUST know something. Colleagues are very keen to meet the person responsible for this
Rescued Max the Springer today. Owner not meeting his needs. Not been walked for over a year. Such a lovely lad. People often ask ‘how do you do your job’. Seeing how wonderfully excited he was the moment his paws touched grass, seeing that tail wag like crazy. That’s why 👌❤️
From elephants to pigeons, millions of animals were forced into the war effort & just did what animals do...everything and more of what was demanded of them. We must honour & remember them.

Our team collected 14 year old Pepper, her owner & three cats from flooded Warrington property this afternoon. Owner refused to leave without her beloved pets.

My Bella is 12 years old today. I’m so lucky to have her in my life. She’s my best friend (don’t tell the other half 😂) Any birthday wishes welcomed 🎂 🎁 🐕❤️❤️❤️
Rescued this girl last week. She has been scored 1/9 body condition. She’s a pretty sad girl at the moment & not out of the woods yet. But the staff/volunteers at Wirral RSPCA provide everything she needs. ❤️❤️🤞🐶
This is John Knibbs, from Lincolnshire.He’s a Dog fighter,he’s wanted in court charged with cruelty offences but has failed to attend &possibly fled to Ireland.The Dog fighting world is absolutely abhorrent & sickening & people like John deserve to be in jail. Help us find him RT
Assisted 85yr old man today & his 14yr old cat who needed her fur de-matting (under sedation due to her feisty nature 👿😂) he said she was his only real companion & would miss her if she went as he didn’t get many visitors. I’m going to pop in for a brew with him next week ☕️
You may remember Ben who I rescued 4 years ago aged 16. He was in quite a bad way, particularly a chronic flea issue which left him suffering with anaemia. His prognosis wasn’t great so we found a fantastic fosterer to give him a good ‘final few months’ He’s just turned 20!🐶🧁🥰
This is so important. Every day I see people dragging their dogs along and becoming frustrated each time the dog stops to sniff & explore. ‘It’s their walk not yours’
Personal opinion - if I took my dog to a trainer and he attacked her like this I would knock him out. Professional opinion - This guy is an idiot. This is animal abuse. Anyone who pays him money to abuse their dog is also an idiot. Don’t go and see him. He’s not welcome here
Latest update on
#bruce
He’s growing in confidence & loving life with his foster home. What a sight to behold after the first depressing pics we saw of him a few weeks ago. The fact he still trusts humans is why I absolutely adore dogs & their forgiving, loyal nature 🐕😍
3 years ago today since I rescued this little beauty after her previous owners moved out leaving her behind with no food or water. This is ‘Mia’ today, all set to spend her third happy Christmas at home with her new loving owner! 👍💓🎅

Statement ref Cat abuse video 👇. “The two cats are now in RSPCA care. Our priority is and has always been the well-being of these cats. They’ve been taken for a check over at a vets and they will remain in our care while the investigation continues.”
Anyone considering lighting a Bon fire over the next few days please take a moment to consider 🦔. Don’t build your Bon fire until shortly before you light it & when you do only light one corner first to give these guys a chance to get up & escape. Have a safe weekend all 👍
*update. The cat and three kittens I collected on Monday after being dumped in a box at the roadside are doing great and settling in well. Mum now called Delilah is such a fantastic Mum and is looking after her babies well.

Rescued a dog yesterday, she weighed half of what she should. Last night I got her somewhere safe and gave her a bowl of food which vanished quickly. She got to sleep on a clean comfy bed with a full tummy. It was a good day! Ongoing job so will update further when I can❤️🐶
Was saddened to hear from Timmy’s owner today that he passed away this morning. But looking back to when I rescued him in Oct ‘16 when he was SIXTEEN I would never have dreamt he’d have 2 and a half years living the good life. The message ended ‘thank you for giving him to us’ 😍
Update on Rosie who I collected yesterday. I’ve had contact from the owner and she’s been missing for over 5 years! Thanks for sharing all and I’ll give an update when I can on how Rosie is doing! 🐈❤️

Does anyone remember Kiya & kane. They were seized during an investigation into Kiya being beaten by her then owner who was eventually convicted of cruelty. After well over 500 days waiting for their second chance here they are going to their new home. 🐕👍😍😭
@RSPCA_official
Back in May I rescued ‘Ella’ from an awful situation. She had chronic skin, eye and ear infections that had been ignored by her owner. Even now she’s still a way to go but she’s so much happier with her new family. Yesterday Her owner was convicted of neglect

The big beautiful soul that is Flint passed away yesterday. I Rescued him from cruel badger baiters over 4 years ago and he found love & a home with the best family. Had a bed in every room of the house and was tucked in every night. He went on Family holidays. Rest easy Boy💔😭
Yes I know that I look like a chimney sweep....but this woodpigeon is grateful that I do. Been stuck in a chimney for up to a week in

from Ashlea vets. He’s doing very well, is slowly but surely recovering. He has a long way to go before he’s fully healed but is living at home with his foster family & enjoying lots of cuddles & kisses. He’s a gentle, trusting soul. Amazing! 😍😍
Not a work post, but I wanted to share my exciting news with you all! Whilst sailing away from Mykonos I got down on one knee & popped the question and she said YES! A very special moment 😍
Things are moving very quickly for Max, he’s improving every day,it’s just 6 days since being rescued & he looks like a different dog,his poor past is becoming a distant memory. We were both overjoyed today to find out he’s been RESERVED!! He can’t wait to restart his life ❤️👍👌

Does anyone remember the poorly kittens I rescued on Nov 15th. They’ve all come along incredibly well. I’ve added a recent picture of the worst affected kitten & how he is now. A simply incredible turn around. Look at those eyes 👀❤️❤️❤️ well done

Literally having the most stressful evening attempting to calm my dog Bella. I don’t mind the odd organised event,30 mins of fireworks & fun for people all gathered together,💥 & done! My problem is with the £1 🚀’s going off contantly. So annoying, Just go to a bloomin display!
Please stop cutting off dogs ears. It doesn’t look good, it doesn’t have medical benefits like preventing ear infections etc but it IS cruel, it IS painful and it IS just a cosmetic and totally unnecessary, pointless procedure. 👌❤️
This is Toby, the 13 year old Jack Russell I collected 3 weeks ago after his owner sadly passed away. He was so stressed at the time & was clearly upset. He’s being spoilt & is slowly starting to feel better at home with our awesome

Remember Max the adorable springer I rescued just under a month ago. Well he’s gained 5kgs and a lot of confidence to go with it 👍😂 Today was a GREAT day as I got to wave him off to his Furever home with his new dad Steve. Good luck mate (& Steve) 😂👍🐕❤️👌

An update from police on one of the two stomach churning videos I’ve seen this weekend of idiots enticing cats to approach them before violently attacking them. One of these cowards is now in custody. Well done people & well done local police.
We’re aware of a video on social media which shows a cat being hit in

Officers have now arrested a 15-y/o boy on suspicion of an offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. He’s currently in police custody.

In 2014 I rescued this lovely chap,it broke my heart that he’d been beaten & had boiling water poured on him...yet he offered me his of the worst cases I’ve dealt with in 9 years. It Fills me with joy, he survived & lives like this

We need your help again. A colleague of mine collected poor Oscar on Monday in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport area. I’m sure you’ll join me in horror when looking at the condition of this poor lad & agree that whomever responsible for this needs identifying ASAP. Please RT
Nipped into see Max again this morning. He’s physically looking so much better & looking at his body language he’s clearly so much happier & relaxed. He absolutely Loves his treats & he’s getting a fair few of them! 👍❤️
Have dealt with a few tough jobs lately. Animal & human suffering isn’t easy to deal with over & over. Have just opened my front door to this, could have cried ❤️

There will be differing opinions on this. But I’ve genuinely been worried sick all week. This is a small victory we all need to see. Humans should not only be judged by how we treat each other but how we treat animals too. Welcome home

Well done to everyone who shared and voiced their concern. We’ve taken a stand that this guy and his bully boy tactics are not at all welcome in the UK. 👏👏👏
Recently I’ve had the honour of assisting beautiful ‘Star’ the Boxer & her owner.Sadly today the time came for her to be at peace after not recovering from injury.But we took some time out en route to the vets to visit her favourite beach for a cuddle & a play.

Incredibly saddened to have just been told that Barbara McDonnell (Chris) a volunteer at RSPCA Wirral animal centre has lost her battle with Coronavirus. She was a kind soul who gave most of her time trying to raise money for animals. She was a legend & will be remembered 💔💔💔
Rescued Daisy today. She’s a 14 year old beautiful staffie ❤️. She’s missing an eye, is deaf and just a bit lumpy and bumpy but she’s incredibly sweet & has plenty of life left. Despite the obvious, Daisy is safe & so today is a good day ❤️🐶

Collected these little bundles of fur, cuddles, slobber (& worms!) earlier today after they were found dumped in Warrington overnight. Appear to be approx 3 months old and from different litters. Why dump them? Glad they're safe now

I just saw a mum walking with her young son. She bent down, picking something up off the ground and then placed it carefully into a garden. It was a snail and I’m so glad that I witnessed it. It literally costs nothing to be kind. A good motto for today 🐌❤️👍
Update on JJ. After 24 hours on a drip and some much needed food as well as rest in a safe place, he’s now been reunited with his owner Rita who is over the moon to have him back home. Safe to say he’s now grounded. 🐈❤️👍
**UPDATE on Max the gorgeous Springer who I rescued on Thursday. he is looking & feeling so much better!!! He’s had a hair cut, nail trim, bath, OHHH & gained over 1 kilo!! 😍👍 😍👏

Absolutely appalled at China’s decision to reverse the 25 year ban on the use of Rhino horn and Tiger bones in a variety of completely pointless ways. They don’t cure illnesses or give you your mojo back. This could set conservation back by decades. 🇨🇳 should be ashamed
Collected 19 year old Lucky this week, who was sadly found on his own after his owner had passed away suddenly. He’s had some bloods, which are ok, nails trimmed and seems happy to just sit and eat at the moment. 🐈⬛❤️
Last week I rescued a badger after she became entangled in electric fencing on

What a week that was. Physically and verbally abused, coffee bought for me by a stranger, horrendous neglect case that has affected my sleep for the last two nights going over what the animal must have gone through. Long weekend off now with family to recharge before next week 💪
Anyone else sick to the back teeth of reading about wildlife crime at the moment? Swans being stoned & having things callously placed over their heads, osprey nests felled & golden eagles poisoned. Foxes & Badgers constantly persecuted + much more. Can’t we just enjoy wildlife?!
Back in October I posted that I’d rescued Freddie.He weighed just 11kgs,his friend Harvey had already starved to death (7kgs).Today his owners were convicted of cruelty. Huge cause of grief for me that it was too late for Harvey. Freddie has made a full recovery
@RSPCA_official
Visited a licensed puppy breeding establishment today. Totally demoralising.The standards that have to be met are so low it’s so difficult to even comprehend the ‘life’ the ‘Mum’ dogs lead.And there’s very little we can do.I think councils who license these places need to do more
I spend a lot of time, almost daily, encouraging, persuading, even pleading with owners to get out and walk their dogs. There’s nothing better than a good stroll after work with your pooch. It’s good for the soul & it’s what dogs live for!! Don’t want to walk=don’t get a 🐶👌❤️
Man banned from keeping pets after making dog 'fight badgers' - A little early Xmas celebration with a lifetime disqualification in court and now Millie can finally go to her new home.
I rescued ‘Wobble’ from an abusive situation around 2 years ago. He had been beaten, left with various injuries including a brain injury as well as temporary blindness due to swelling. So pleased to see him now, king of the manor & a much loved family member. ❤️❤️❤️

He ran and hid but has now been ARRESTED! He is in police custody. Great work

Lots of people have asked how ‘Wobble’ is getting on after reading how he was treated so badly by his previous owners. Great news!! He’s just re-starting his new life with his new family after being rehomed this week. Good luck Wobble, go enjoy yourself 😍👌🏻
Rescued a dog today that I can honestly say took my breath away. She has been on the vets table being clipped under sedation for 4 hours.I’ve never seen anything like it. Just incredible & totally avoidable. Molly is 12 years old & lived a very poor life. Fingers crossed for her

This is Bobbie, sadly his owner passed away recently & he’s managed to run & hide in the house where he used to live due to its condition. I’ve been feeding him through the letterbox for days but managed to set a trap inside this weekend. Finally got him on Sunday. Safe now 👍❤️
