Our latest success stories

Walk to Remember: a community of support

In 2025, hundreds of people came together through Walk to Remember to honour their beloved pets, share memories and pet grief stories and raise more than £39,000 for animals in need. Together, they created a powerful reminder that no one should have to face pet grief alone.

Dogs from mislabelled ‘AI image’ rescued and rehomed

A photo taken on the scene at a multi-animal household was so astonishing it was thought to be AI. In reality, RSPCA officers worked with the to safely remove more than 250 dogs from this large-scale rescue. Most of the dogs have since been rehomed or are being cared for in our animal centres.

50 Miles In Memory

Dog lover and loving son, Ben, completed our 50 Miles in March in memory of his mother, Lynn. Together with Ellie, Lynn’s 13-year-old bichon frisé, the determined duo raised an incredible £1,523.55 for the RSPCA.
