When an animal arrives at our center, a new chapter of love begins. While many of them come to us with a sadness, it’s heartwarming to witness the transformation that occurs as they find their forever homes. Each journey is filled with hope and joy, and we are proud to share some incredible rehoming triumphs that highlight the happiness these animals experience.
If you have a rehoming story you would like to share & have adopted from us here at the RSPC WHS, please email us at whsmediateam@rspca-whs.org.uk with when you adopted from us, their name, a blurb about them some photos we can share.
Together, we create a brighter future for them, filled with love and companionship!
From Hiding to Head-Bumps: Penny’s First Days at Home
I hope you're all not missing Penny (formerly known as Melanie) too much. She is settling in well and has no with eating or using her litter tray. While she is drinking, doesn’t seem to be a lot; I set up a camera to keep an eye on her water intake. I did notice she had a little drink yesterday, which is the first time I’ve seen the camera was set up. We’re also feeding her cat soup for extra. On her first day, she spent most of the time hiding under the bed, which we expected.
By the second day, I the bedroom door slightly to see if she would explore the landing, and she did that night. Since then she’s been all over the place, discovering sleeping spots, with the office chair being a particular favourite She’s a bit nervous about going downstairs; she’ll have a but won’t stay long, probably due to the unfamiliar.
Penny is very treat-driven; as soon as hears the Dreamies packet, she suddenly becomes my new best friend, meowing and head-bumping me. It’s adorable! The latest development is that she’s been making while purring away, with her out, all snuggled up in her bed. It’s incredibly cute!
Barney’s Homecoming: A Tail of Joy, Kisses, and Chaos
In late January, we discovered the beautiful Barney (formerly Beau) on the RSPCA website and instantly fell for him. After a few meetings to help ease anxiety, we developed a strong connection. When we finally arrived to take him home, he was thrilled to see us but quickly became fearful when we headed to the car instead of his usual walk.
Despite his nerves during the ride, once we arrived, he claimed the house as his home, filling it with love, joy, and more mess than we ever. Barney shares special bonds with all his grandparents and showers every visitor with kisses. He enjoys playing with his dad, snuggling with his mom, and basking in the sun. He has already experienced his first holiday, visited a doggy play center, and discovered a love for BBQs.
A bundle of energy, his favorite toys are the squeaky, though none seem to last long! Barney is the best thing that has happened to my boyfriend and me, and the happiness he brings us matches the joy his adoption has given him!
It's been a while - I don't know if you remember Pablo, who we adopted from you last August. He turned 2 today and we thought you might enjoy an update!
We took him to an enclosed field for his first taste of freedom offlead! He had the best time bounding after balls and sniffing to his heart's content.
He's been doing SO well with his training the last 9 months. He can now handle being by himself for around half an hour and he's been practising parallel walking with other dogs, which he's getting very good at it. He's also started learning recall on the long lead, which he's been picking up really quickly! We feel so lucky to have such a lovely, goofy boy.
Pablo’s Progress: A Year of Growth, Sniffs, and Smiles
Joyce (Pippin) is settling in well!
Joyce is settling in great, she’s already exploring the whole house and is very friendly. She’s also very excitable, running around and playing. At the moment we are closing her in one room overnight but that may have to change because she becomes a little upset when we’re not around. I guess that’s to be expected in a new environment. She is eating and using her litter box fine and we have no concerns.
Zorro showing who's boss!
Zorro is settling just fine…eating, drinking water, and using his litter box no problem. As expected, he hid away on Sunday, but now he’s letting me know who’s boss.. and it’s not me

Sooty and Violet's New Home
After an initial shy start they have both settled in well and enjoy playing, running around the house and they have their favourite chosen sunny spot to sunbathe in.
Biscuit; loving his forever home!
Biscuit has settled in really well. He's eating well and using his litter tray.
He's an absolute pleasure to have and we've fallen in love with him. He's just an absolute star in every way.
Ophelia is a real princess
Ophelia is such a princess. She is settling in really well and anyone would think she lived here for years not days.
Maisie's New Beginnings
Maisie is doing great! She has settled in really well… she is eating well and loves to play with her toy on the end of string :-)
She is also really affectionate and jumps up on my lap!
This is such a happy ending as when Maisie arrived she was very shut down not surprised coming from a multicat household. It took her a while to settle in here with us. She is like a different cat in her new home.
Bobs first year in his forever home!
Lottie & Luna the pampered duo!
A year has flown by since we brought home two tiny kittens, then known as Jade and Juliet, from your shelter. Now answering to Lottie and Luna, they've flourished into delightful, doted-on divas!
Check out these snapshots, top one from your webpage when they first became part of our family, plus a couple of recent ones.
They're living the dream, and it's all thanks to you!
Lottie & Luna’s Forever Home
Bella's Story
Bella was found wandering the streets, and wasn't microchipped, so an RSPCA Animal rescue officer picked her up after a tip off from a local resident.
Bella had no fur along her back and her tail was completely bald. It was also suspected that she was pregnant.
After a short time in the foster home, it became clear that she was indeed pregnant, but sadly it was a womb infection called Pyometra. Left untreated, this would have killed Bella, so after a short operation and the right medication she was later deemed fit for rehoming, however Bellas foster home said that she had fitted into their home and lifestyle so well, and they loved her so much, that they couldn't let her go. So Bella has now been adopted by them.
Sadie’s New Friendship
Well, what can I say... I've not even had Sadie a week yet, and already, she's changed my life.
I'm not going to lie. Going from having a senior dog to a pup has been a bit of a learning curve, but you know what, starting her training has given me a purpose again. Seeing her little sparkling eyes look up at me fills my heart. Hearing her little snores at night brings me more joy than you could ever know, and snuggling up with her on the sofa has helped me feel like I'm no longer alone.
She's made my house feel like a home again - even if there are more chewed bits in it than there were before!
We're out exploring the island, stomping about, just getting fresh air and living life again.
Thank you so much for trusting me with this little excitable whirlwind of love (and chaos).
It’s been a year now since we came and adopted our beautiful Bob!
The year has flown by. We wanted to get in touch to say how special he is and what a wonderful addition he has made to our family. We absolutely adore him.
We know he can’t tell us but we‘d like to think he is happy! He’s very independent and likes outdoor adventures but he also loves his home comforts and nice food bless him.
Poppy’s Living Her Best Life
You’ll remember Poppy from Facebook, her family shared a update with us on how she is getting on in her forever home.
We’re sure you will agree she is thriving visiting some amazing beaches and places with her family.
Bessie’s Living Her BEST Life!
Just a quick update on Bessie, since she was adopted March 2023.
At first I fostered Bessie but quickly realised I wanted to adopt her. She is a wonderful companion. Bessie didn’t play with toys when she came to me but now has two great big baskets full which she loves to scatter and play with, normally just after I have mopped the floors!
I suffer from mental health challenges and Bessie is so in tune with my emotions and offers me lots of support the same way I do to her. We are best friends.
Layla's Journey
Now that summer has come and gone, here are some pictures of Layla.
She is thriving, and everyone has noticed how much she has changed since we first brought her home. She’s learning to play outside, but only with her favourite ball.The snapping behavior has disappeared; we've figured out what triggered it.
While she still finds it challenging to leave our driveway for walks, she happily chases the pigeons and squirrels that visit our garden. She even allows me to wrap my arms around her for hugs, which she didn't enjoy before. It’s amusing to see her try to sit on our laps, believing she’s a lap dog!
Prince Is Thriving
Many of you will remember Prince from Facebook. He was adopted and found his forever home back in April this year. Here’s what his Mum said about him.
Prince is the most beautiful boy and I can’t thank the brilliant staff enough at Warrington RSPCA.
I was heartbroken after loosing my little dog back in April and I was a picture of Prince on the RSPCA Facebook page and I knew that we needed each other.
He has the most pampered life and is a very spoilt boy. Thank you to all the staff at Warrington RSPCA xx
Suzy's Story
Suzie became an internet sensation overnight when a garage spotted her wandering across their forecourt, and immediately alerted the RSPCA Inspectorate.
Suzie was clearly badly injured as she had a broken front leg and rugby styled socks had been duct taped to each leg.
She was emaciated and clearly hadn't eaten a proper meal for quite some time.
So once the inspector had caught her, she was immediately given treatment at the hospital and then transferred to RSPCA Warrington branch for her recovery and ongoing treatment.
The damage from where the socks had been duct taped was quite severe, and sadly her leg was so badly broken that despite the vet trying everything they could do to save it, they determined that it would have to be amputated. As soon as Suzie recovered from her operation, the staff and volunteers were amazed at just how quickly she recovered and joyfully watched as Suzie was doing zoomies around the paddock. Her leg must have been giving her so much paid, that now the pain had gone, she could really enjoy her new life.
As no one came forward to admit ownership for Suzie, and she had healed mentally and physically, we were then able to find a perfect match for her.
Ruby's Story
Ruby Came to us in such a sad state. She struggled with kennel life and was very sad, and she didn't even want to eat. She didn't have much hair at all because her skin was poorly, she needed a bath with special shampoo twice a week.
The vets even said that she may never have fur again because she had been left to suffer for so long without treatment before being rescued by the inspectors and then came to our centre.
Ruby improved in no time at all with the correct treatment for her skin condition and given the proper care and attention she deserved.
In no time at all, Ruby's perfect match was found for her and now she is living the best life we could wish for her.
Zak's Story
Zak was rescued from someone who had used him and many other dogs for hunting and killing badgers and other wildlife, which is illegal in this country.
Zak was in a very poor state, and despite having very severe facial injuries, his owner had neglected to get him the proper medical treatment he needed.
Once Zak had received treatment at the hospital, he was then brought to our branch, where we nurtured him back to health, and before long, we found him his perfect match.
Zak loves the comfortable life he now had with his new owners.
Stitch's Story
Stitch had a very poor start to life as his owners thought it was ok to keep him permanently locked up in a crate.
When Stitch was rescued and came to us, he was completely shut down, and everything was a new experience to him. He had never experienced walking on grass, or feeling a rain drop on his head.
So with a lot of time and patience, our brilliant team of experts helped Stitch to overcome his fears of everything, and he was matched with a wonderful new home. Now stitch is loving life and living it to its fullest, as you can see by his loving smile.
