‘We know it will be difficult to find a home prepared to take on all three elderly dogs - but we don’t have the heart to separate them…’

The RSPCA is searching for a very special home for a trio of terriers with a combined age of 168 - in dog years.

RSPCA Suffolk East and Ipswich Branch is currently caring for terrier crossbreeds (pictured left to right) Mitzy, 10, Lucy, 11, and nine-year-old Winnie. Together the trio have a combined age of 30 - or 168 in dog years.

This Valentine’s Day do you have room in your heart for some of the RSPCA’s most overlooked animals…?
This Valentine’s Day, the RSPCA has revealed the dog breeds waiting months for their new home.

While most RSPCA dogs are rehomed within an average of 41 days, American Bulldogs, Rottweilers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers can wait up to 80 percent longer in rescue centres.
American Bulldog cross-breeds wait the longest at 74 days, with American Bulldogs waiting 65 days, the same as Boxer crosses..

In August last year, one of Mayhew’s vital animal ambulances was sadly stolen and was never returned to them or reported as found.

But this week the London-based animal welfare charity are delighted to announce that, thanks to their generous supporters raising over £17k, they have been able to receive a new, replacement ambulance.

Mayhew’s animal ambulances are important to their work as they rely on them to help transport the hundreds of sick and injured animals they rescue every year. They were devastated when their trusty Suzuki Carrier was stolen.
