From wasteland to Dog of the Year!
Peggy was one of 12 dogs rescued by the RSPCA after being found abandoned in horrific conditions on a wasteland, living in a derelict caravan and stables. The dogs were only discovered after one escaped and led a member of the public back to the others — a true hero who likely saved them all.

Rescued from a land rover on Christmas Eve!
On Christmas Eve, we received a call about a dog living out of a Land Rover. Without hesitation, our CEO, Marianne Pettifor, jumped in the car and headed straight out to help. Thanks to quick action and compassion, this amazing boy was rescued and is now safe and happy in foster care with one of our team enjoying the comfort of a warm home and pup cups on demand. A true Christmas Eve miracle.
