Suffolk’s rural communities and coastline make it a good match for rescue dogs that enjoy quieter surroundings and regular outdoor exercise. Dogs adopted here are often placed with homes offering time, patience and consistency. Many rescues in Suffolk use foster homes to assess dogs in real-life environments before rehoming. Local adoption supports thoughtful and responsible placements.

Meet Amy, she is 18 months old, chipped , fully vaccinated but not yet spayed.This girl has been in the same home since a pup but sadly due to a family upheaval she is needing to look for a new home.Her dad tells us she is fine around other dogs, in fact she wants to play when out walking and meets any. Until recently she had lived with a 3yo child, happy meeting new people and unknown with cats.When our volunteer arrived she was greeted with some happy jumping up but no barking.Amy was taken on a walk where she passed other dogs with no problem, she did initially pull on the lead at the beginning, improving as the walk went on.

Bentley came into our care after he was transferred to us from another centre. We sadly do not know much about his past life before arriving into our care, but since being with us he has shown to be an affectionate, playful boy who loves being in the company of his favourite humans and zooming around our field with his toys.He is a clever boy in his adolescent era so will also benefit from an active home that can provide him with the physical and mental stimulation he needs, alongside some further basic training to guide him in becoming a well mannered, confident dog. He has shown that he can get overwhelmed at times so needs owners who are willing to take things at his pace and be patient with him.This poor boy hasn’t had a good start in life, having spent half of his short life in kennels already. This has taken a big toll of his separation related anxiety and is therefore looking for a home that has at least one family member at home all the time, who can gradually teach him its okay to be left for short periods.He can sometimes lack manners around other dogs so will benefit from a home that can provide further socialising once he has settled into his new home. For this reason we feel he is better suited to be the only dog in the home, as well as his want to have all the attention to himself!Bentley is always happy to see you and will greet you with a full body and tail wag. He will make a great addition to the home and will provide you loyalty, fun and affection in return.Do you have space in your life for this wonderful boy?

At just 1 years old, this handsome boy has already been on a long journey. Over the past 6 months he has been working through an intense rehabilitation programme, learning how to feel safe and confident in the world around him.Kennel life proved too stressful for him, but for the last 4 months he has been thriving in a foster home, where he’s finally be able to relax and his true personality start to shine. With people he trusts he is incredibly affectionate, playful and full of love. Like any Labrador, food is the way to his heart and he enjoys his positively reinforced training and he will often greet you with a big waggy body and his favourite dinosaur to mouth.He is now looking for a “foster in view to adopt” home that can continue supporting him on this journey. He will need patient and knowledgeable owners committed to his ongoing training, especially when outside the comfort of his home. His new family will also need to have at least one person at home at all times, so he can gradually learn that being alone for short periods is ok. His new home will need to be within 1 hour of the centre, due to how worried he is of car travel and so the RSPCA team can continue to support him once in the home too.Charlie may be able to live with another suitably matched dog, as long as they are neutered, fully vaccinated, calm and confident and is right for both dogs. He is such a sweet dog and deserves to find someone who can walk the rest of his journey with him.

Chip came into our care after he was removed from a property by one of our inspectors.Chip was in a poor condition when he arrived at the centre, he was malnourished and suffering with a severe case of aspiration pneumonia. He was quickly placed into a foster home with one of the team so he could receive around the clock care. Sadly during his recovery, Chip had to fight a second round of phneumonia when ended up with him being hospitalised for 5 days.Thankfully with the care of the vet team and his fosterer, Chip is now thriving and ready to find a permanent home he can call his own. Unfortunately Chip is now prone to pneumonia so needs understanding and vigilant owners who will be happy to tackle this if it is to reoccur.Chip can be a little shy at first and does find new people and surroundings a little worrying so will need his new humans to be understanding of this and introduce him to new things gradually. Once he trusts you, his fun and loving personality really shines through! He loves nothing more than cuddling up to his foster carer on the sofa and will crawl into your lap as soon as you sit down.Chip is on a special diet which is to help his digestion and medication for his skin which will need to be continued in his new home. The branch will support with funding towards his food and medication.Do you have the space in your life for this little boy?
