More than 14,000 animals rehomed by the RSPCA in Surrey in last decade
The achievement is revealed as the RSPCA celebrates its 200th year anniversary
The RSPCA has revealed that it has found loving new homes for nearly 5,000 animals in a decade in Worcestershire and Herefordshire with the remarkable rehoming feat revealed to mark its 200th birthday in 2024.
The charity has come a long way since 1824 - when founding members of the charity met in a coffee shop in London determined to change animals’ lives, creating the then SPCA and sparking an animal welfare movement that spread around the world.
Now - as the RSPCA enters its landmark 200th anniversary year - the charity wants to inspire a one million strong movement for animals, as the charity aims to "create a better world for every animal".
Today Worcestershire and Herefordshire is served by a team of RSPCA rescuers who save animals and investigate cruelty while also offering welfare advice and help to pet owners in need.
The county is also home to four independent RSPCA branches - Surrey East, Alton, Haslemere and Petersfield, Purley, Caterham & District, Surrey Woking & District, Guildford and Epsom Branch, and Hants and Surrey Branch - as well as one national centre, Millbrook Animal Centre - who rehabilitate and rehome rescued animals and help animals most in need in the area.
