What are rescues looking for in a home visit?
In general, I am looking to see that the home is safe for the dog. If you have a fenced yard, I will inspect it with fresh eyes for any possible escape routes. Maybe your gate is sagging, or you have a stack of firewood piled against the back corner, which a dog might use as a ladder and escape the yard.
How much does home for life cost?
How much does it cost? The Home for Life scheme is free. However, we simply wouldn’t exist without public donations, and without kind gifts left to us in our supporters’ Wills. That’s why we ask you to consider leaving a gift in your Will, so we can continue our vital work protecting animals from cruelty.
Can the Rspca break into your home?
They have NO right to enter your home to inspect your animals or to demand that you answer any of their questions. They have NO power to stop, obstruct or otherwise detain any vehicle carrying animals. Whilst the Society’s staff issue criminal proceedings against offenders, they do so by way of private prosecution.
What does home visit mean when adopting a dog?
A home visit can mean the difference between happy homing and unhappy return – problems are spotted in advance and, if the selected animal isn’t going to fit in quite right there may be another animal who will. Rescues that home check have fewer returns than rescues who don’t. It’s as simple as that.
How can I send my work to the RSPCA?
All you need to do is post your work on your school’s social media page, or your personal page if your child is working at home, and mention the RSPCA and hashtag #CompassionateClass Alternatively, you can send your work into [email protected]
Can a healthy pet stay with the RSPCA?
Healthy pets will stay with us for as long as they need. However, the animal’s welfare is paramount and, as pets cope differently in different environments, they may stay with foster carers while we find them a new home. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please contact us.

What can the RSPCA do for young people?
During these strange times the RSPCA prevention and education team is aiming to provide teachers, parents and carers with engaging activities that will get young people thinking and debating animal issues.
