No longer able to look after your pet?

I need to rehome my pet - can you help?

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're here to make sure your pet receives the best care and find a loving new home.

Requesting to hand over a dog

We apologise, but we're currently closed for requests to take in dogs for rehoming. In the meantime, please use our list of local rescues (below) to find an alternative. You can also be notified when we are open for requests again.
