[H1] find a rescue pet
Bringing a rescue pet into your life is a big decision, and we’re here to help. Use our RSPCA Find a Pet search to explore animals near you, or learn how adoption and fostering works so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

[IMG: An RSPCA staff member looking at and petting a golden spaniel dog, who is looking up at them.]

Every animal deserves safety and comfort, and your decision to rehome could change a life. When you adopt or foster through the RSPCA, you’re giving an animal a second chance, supported by expert care every step of the way.
Our RSPCA rehoming teams work across England and Wales to find safe, suitable homes for animals in our care, matching each pet to the environment that will best support their welfare. Last year, 70 animals a day found new homes, and the fresh start they deserved. Thousands of pets for adoption are cared for by our centres each year, all looking for a second chance. Whether you’re ready to search now or still exploring your options, we’re here to guide you.
[H2] Your rehoming options

[H3] Adopt a horse
From young equines needing experienced handlers to calm older companions, our teams assess every animal carefully. Meet the horses and ponies ready for rehoming.

[H2] Could fostering a pet be right for you?
If you’re not ready for a long-term commitment, fostering could be a brilliant way to help. You’ll give an animal a safe, loving space while they wait for their forever home and we’ll provide support, advice and essential costs. Fostering changes lives, especially for animals who need extra time, stability or confidence.
Become a foster carer

If you’re looking to rescue a pet near you, visit your local RSPCA centre to see which animals are waiting for a home in your area, learn more about the team supporting them, and get advice tailored to where you live.

Older people walk faster and for longer when they regularly walk their dogs and have better mobility in their homes.
Growing up with pets may improve children's social skills and encourage childhood responsibility.
Pets can also encourage children to develop compassion, understanding and respect for living things.
Dogs can be trained to detect drugs, explosives and diseases such as cancer.

[H1] Every kind of rescue

[H3] Oscar
When we rescued Oscar, he was painfully thin. Fearful and reactive, he was classified as a 'red' dog with specialist needs. Months of work with our vet team and animal behaviourists helped this gentle boy learn to be loved. Now Oscar has found his forever home with Paul and Carol. They adore him and Oscar is finally getting the long walks and playtime that he deserves.

[H3] Maurice
This cheeky chap was rescued by one of our inspectors. He had a nasty wound and an abscess on his face, so he needed veterinary treatment and a good dose of TLC. Thankfully, our animal care staff are great matchmakers and soon found Maurice a calm home with owners willing to earn his trust. Maurice no longer bites the hand that feeds (and strokes) him.

[H3] Dolly
Dolly came to our wildlife centre in East Sussex. A marine rescue team found the young seal stranded on a beach and weighing just 12kg. Unable to survive by herself in the wild, she came to us for care where we discovered a serious injury to her right eye. Dolly was treated and monitored closely. After a few more weeks she is being released back to the sea in January, weighing a healthy 38.6kg.
[H2] Your gift will save lives
Each year, we receive nearly one million calls to our cruelty and advice line*. We’re working tirelessly to reach animals in time. But keeping our rescuers on the road and providing life-saving care costs money. We rely on your generosity to make this possible.
Together, we can give back to more animals like Oscar, Maurice and Dolly, so we can give them the lives they deserve. Please make a donation today to help us be there for every kind of animal.

[H4] Frequently asked questions

How we use the money you give us

We couldn't fund our life-saving work for animals without you.
For every £1 donated, 78p will go directly to rescuing and caring for vulnerable animals, then rehoming or releasing them. This helps abandoned or neglected pets get the treatment and love they deserve. It helps injured or orphaned wildlife in need.
The next 20p from each £1 goes towards fundraising. Last year, we received over 900,000 calls to our help line. Without the funds gained through our marketing, we would not be able to finance our crucial work.
The remaining 2p from each £1 goes towards governance. This will support our board members as they create campaigns and push for governance change. At home or abroad, our prevention campaigns are essential for improving the safety and happiness of animals.
(based on RSPCA Trustees’ report and accounts)
