RSPCA Animal Rescue - skinny staffies

The poor things were only 6kg!! And i thought lexi was at deaths door when she was 14.5kg

You could see every single bone in their bodies

One had to be pts the otherone has a new family and "fits in like a tap"

Poor things. Glad that one has a good, home, at least.

ruby weighed 5.2kg when we rescued her vet said hours from dying now madam weighs 12.1kg vet says healthy for her size xx



two pictures are ruby day we rescued her

OMG poor little peach, so lovely that you rescued her and to look at her now you would never know. Sometimes at least theres a happy ending.

Poor girl. So glad she got a good home now though im definitely rescuing next. i cant be bothered with puppies, i like animals that are set in their ways and know a bit about life haha

taken last week



certainly a diffrent dog three years down the line xx

She certainly looks much healthier now, how could some people do that (previous shots I mean) I realy could slap some people.

makes you heart ache just thinking about all those skin and bones dogs in the streets

My previous 2 dogs (non staffies) which I rescued at the same time were skin and bone, so sad to see them in such a sorry state. They kept being sick when they ate as they thought it was their last meal and just shovelled it down. Lived to 18 & 13 though and probably the best dogs I ever had. My son in law rescued a 3 week old barely live kitten that was lying with its 4 dead siblings from the back yard of a house he was working in. He took off at the bloke that lived there but he told him to mind his own business - or words to that effect. So he took this tiny tiny kitten to the vet who said he wasn't sure if it was too far gone. She wasn't and that's how he got to own the lovely Honey who absolutely adores him and sits and licks his bald head yuk. I know its down to personal choice but I have only ever had rescues and although I miss out on the cute little puppy stage, the rewards are immeasurable. People who do this to animals are only one step away from being cruel to people - they have no feelings, are a waste of space and no use to anyone.

Also meant to say how lovely to see Ruby so fit and healthy looking - the difference in the two sets of pictures and to her life - priceless

Minty,
You have done a very beautiful thing. Poor little Ruby... It makes me so so happy to see how happy and healthy she looks now, you have given her a second chance and that is such a beautiful thing. I don't know how any human can let any animal get to this state, it absolutely makes me ill inside. They are such beautiful little personalities, each and every one of them so special, rescue is definately the way to go. I rescued my cat Jasper from the RSPCA, he was not underweight when I adopted him, but he is definately a very happy cat now, with lots of friends to cuddle around the house
Ok getting emotional now
