The RSPCA continues to rehome rescue animals on a delivery basis during the ongoing lockdowns in both England and Wales.
Dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and other small furry animals will remain available for adoption as RSPCA centres – now closed to the public – switch to a virtual rehoming and delivery process. ”
The animal charity has 14 national animal centres across England and Wales, while many of its independent branches also have rehoming facilities switching to a remote process during the latest lockdown restrictions.
RESEARCH
Prospective adopters can speak to RSPCA staff and meet animals via video conferencing and photo sharing, with pets then delivered by an RSPCA staff member once the level of commitment has been discussed, rehoming agreed, and a suitable pet found.
The charity urges people to do their own research, however, and ensure they understand the long-term commitment of pet adoption – given that ‘lockdown life is not forever’. ” ”
RSPCA chief executive Chris Sherwood said: “As the battle against covid-19 continues, our centres will once again be closed to the public as we all do our bit to stop the spread of this awful disease. However, we are delighted that we will continue to be able to find new homes for animals via a safe and covid-secure remote process.”
