German Shepherd puppy Flynn was just eight-weeks-old when he was dumped in a Birmingham park

A tiny puppy found unloved and unwanted in a park is looking for a new home where he’ll be loved for the first time.

German Shepherd Flynn was found by a dog warden in a Birmingham park on 7 October and taken in by the RSPCA.

He was taken in by The Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home - run by the RSPCA South Cotswolds branch.

A ten-year-old Collie named Marley has been in the care of Battersea for 100 days, but so far no one has stepped forward to give him a home to call his own.

Marley’s owners brought him into Battersea when a change in circumstances meant that they were no longer able to look after him. Despite being at the rehoming charity for nearly three times the average stay (34 days), he has struggled to find a retirement home; something that staff suspect may be due to his age.

RSPCA issues advice and warnings to animal owners ahead of November 5.

With many public firework displays, including London, being cancelled and more people than ever attending displays at home or with friends, the RSPCA is concerned for the wellbeing of the nation's animals.

New polling by the charity shows that in 2021 52%* of the UK public will be attending unofficial displays, this compares with 41% in 2020 and 23% in 2019.
