Poodles abandoned in squalid home find forever homes

Rescuers said the dogs were severely matted and covered in waste, and the RSPCA reported a 70% rise in multi-animal cases.

  • Rescuers discovered 250 dogs living in squalor at a Nottingham property, with some animals forced into a wood burner; The RSPCA took in 87 poodles while Dogs Trust accepted the remainder.
  • Jade Burton, head of animal services at RSPCA Woodside, said the dogs were scared and severely matted; the care team spent 48 hours grooming the animals with support from Bella and Barney Vets.
  • Ten-Month-Old Winston, once described as a "trembling wreck," is now settling near Leicester with owners Lisa and Mark Bream, who visited RSPCA Woodside daily for two weeks building trust with the pup.
  • After weeks of careful introductions, the family adopted Winston on March 12; Mrs Bream said he was initially scared of his lead but now happily organizes his toys in his basket each night.
  • Data from The RSPCA shows a 70 per cent rise over the past five years in incidents involving ten or more animals across England and Wales, prompting the charity to urge adoption from rescue centers.
