No longer able to look after your pet?
Advice and assistance
Asking us to take in and rehome your pet
As well as providing shelter to many hundreds of unwanted or abandoned animals each year, we also help owners in our local area who are no longer able to care for their pet for any reason.
You must live in our catchment area in Bath and North East Somerset or Wiltshire. To confirm you are within our catchment area, you can search your postcode on www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/yourlocal or call us on 01225 787321 (during office hours).
We understand that it can be a very big decision to ask us to rehome your pet. Please be assured that we are here to make sure that your pet will receive the best care and find a loving new home.

Dogs
Use the link to the forms below to tell us a bit more about your pet and register your request. Your handover request will be assessed by our Behaviour Team who will decide if we are able to add your dog to our waitlist. There can be a considerable waiting time for kennels to become available, so we recommend that you also contact other rehoming centres at the same time.
We ask lots of questions so we can help them settle in at the centre as well as help us find them a suitable home.
