Today’s rescue story is unfortunately not uncommon. Many pet owners face financial hardships or unexpected vet bills, making it difficult for them to provide the care their pets need.

As a result, some owners feel they have no other option but to abandon their pets, which can be a heartbreaking decision for both the owner and the animal. It’s important for pet owners to seek out resources and support if they are struggling to care for their pets, rather than resorting to abandonment.
In a recent tale, the RSPCA (UK) rescued a young male spaniel who was abandoned in a broken cage on the side of a road in Oxfordshire. The dog, who has been named Rudy, had a leg deformity and was left with a heartbreaking note pleading for someone to look after him.
Unfortunately, another dog who was with Rudy escaped from the cage and is still missing. This is just one example of the many heartbreaking stories of animal abandonment that happen all too frequently.
In fact, recent figures released by the RSPCA show a rise of 9.6% in abandonments for the same month last year. It is important to remember that help is available for struggling pet owners, and that abandoning animals is never the solution.
🐶💔 Rudy was found in a crate in #Oxfordshire on May 4th with a heartbreaking note that read “Please feed and look after me. My owner is struggling to look after me”😢

The RSPCA has launched a search to find the owner of the abandoned dog, hoping to shed light on the circumstances that led to this heart-wrenching situation.
Meanwhile, the pup is receiving the necessary care and attention at one of their centres, where dedicated staff members are making sure that he is comfortable and safe.
The organization’s priority is to ensure the well-being of the animal and to provide any necessary medical treatment.
