About USPCA

Founded in 1836 as the Belfast SPCA, the Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (USPCA) is Northern Ireland’s oldest animal welfare charity, established to prevent cruelty and relieve animal suffering. Its early work included installing water troughs for working horses and successfully lobbying for animal protection laws to be extended to Ireland. As its operations expanded across the region, the organisation became known as the Ulster SPCA, reflecting its wider impact. Today, the USPCA continues to campaign, rescue and advocate for stronger protections to make Northern Ireland a safer place for animals.

Bruce

Northern Ireland
SexMale
Age5 years
BreedJack Russell Terrier

Bruce is a handsome boy who was admitted into our care through our social rehoming scheme, he is now ready to find himself his new home! Bruce is a happy, friendly chap who thrives on human company, he has an energetic and adventurous personality, who loves spending time out on his daily walks, using his nose to explore the world around him! Once he is settled in his environment and once he gets to know you, he really loves people and loves being the centre of attention, he enjoys spending time with his human friends and just loves to hop onto your lap, where he sits and watches the world go by. Bruce is not used to being left alone for long, so would be best suited to a family who are around most of the time initially to help him settle into the home as he is happiest when he is included in all the comings and goings of daily life! Bruce could live with children over the age of 12 years who have a sensible approach and experience with dogs. He could possibly live with another well-suited small dog upon successful meeting at our centre. It is unknown how he would react around cats.

Age2 years
BreedSiberian Husky

Meet Milo! Milo is a handsome, nature-loving husky who was admitted into our care when his previous owners were no longer able to look after him. Milo has been in our care for over 6 months now and he is more than ready to find a home of his own, he can’t wait to start his next adventure! This happy boy is full of life, character and charm. Milo has a playful personality and has many quirks, he loves playing with leaves - tossing them in the air and pouncing on them, he also loves outdoor adventures where there is water, he loves splashing around and getting his paws wet! Milo is a bright and curious boy who thrives on mental stimulation. He loves enrichment games such as ‘find it’ and scent-searching activities, using his nose to sniff out hidden treats. We believe that he will flourish in a home where he can keep his mind busy. Milo enjoys being out and about on his walks, exploring his surroundings and taking in all the interesting sights and smells. He would love an energetic, active family who enjoys adventures just as much as he does. He would not be suited to living in a rural area. Milo is very sociable and adores human company, he would be best suited to a home with children over 12 years old who are dog-savvy and comfortable around large breeds. Milo would prefer to be the only pet in the home, as he can be nervous around other dogs and likes being centre of attention! As he settles into his new home, Milo will need patient and understanding owners who can provide reassurance and help him feel secure, particularly if being left alone. Husky experience would be a bonus so his new family can appreciate all his wonderful husky quirks. The rehoming team at the centre will be happy to provide ongoing support and advice to help with the settling in process and ensure a smooth transition for Milo from the centre to his new home.

Rex

SexMale
Age2 years
BreedBernese Mountain Dog

Rex is a handsome young Bernese Mountain dog who is looking to find himself a new home after his owners were sadly unable to continue to care for him. Rex really is a gentle giant, he has a sweet personality and is full of charm that shines through after gentle introductions to new people. He can be a bit of a worrier, particularly in unfamiliar situations so he will need patient and understanding owners who allow him to build his confidence at his own pace. Once settled in his environment, Rex is an excitable boy who loves nothing more than being around and close to his favourite people. He would suit a family who are around most of the time initially to help him settle into the home as he is happiest when he is included in all the comings and goings of daily life! Once settled into his home, Rex would require an active family who would enjoy taking him on long walks, exploring different environments, as he does love having a good sniff when out on walks with our animal care team. Due to his timid nature, he would require a quieter, more settled home environment and would be best suited to live with older teenage children who are comfortable and used to dogs. Rex could potentially share a home with another dog of similar personality with successful introductions at our centre. It is unknown how he would react around cats in the home.
