Charlie’s Second Chance
A caring member of the public found one-year-old Charlie the American staffy cross abandoned at a dog park. Found with a note on his collar, they brought Charlie into the RSPCA for care. The note left with Charlie implied if he stayed where he was that he would be harmed.
Charlie isn’t the only pet that has been abandoned this year. The cost-of-living crisis has led to an increase in abandonment reports of all types of animals to the RSPCA. Your support allows us to offer a safe haven for animals like Charlie, providing them with the care and protection they need to get a second chance at life.
"Unfortunately, my Mum and Dad need to leave me behind for my own safety. If I stayed where I was, I would have been hurt," the note read.
Initially, Charlie struggled with shelter life, but he began to relax and come out of his shell after spending time with people in the RSPCA offices. Now, Charlie is living with loving foster parents, Andrew and Michelle, where he can adjust to life in a home while he waits to find his forever family. Your support makes stories like Charlie’s possible, giving abandoned animals the love and care they deserve.
