Hi. My name's Penelope, and I'm 5 years old, well, at least I think I am.

I used to live with ten other dogs, some of them as big as me. It wasn't as much fun as it sounds. We didn't have enough room to run around and I could never get any peace and quiet.

Because it was so cramped, the RSPCA decided we'd be better off coming to stay with them for a while. I got lots of exercise, yummy food and lot's of cuddles; I even caught the eye of a lovely lady who decided to take me home. Now I get to sleep on the couch, and I even work in a Flower Shop! I think I'm pretty helpful, especially when I greet the customers.

My name is Sugar, and I'm 4 years old.

I used to be so skinny that you could see all of my ribs, that was before the RSPCA rescued me.

I only weighed half of what I do now - and I was so sick that even my fur was falling out.

Nowadays I live with my new owner, who loves me and cares for me. She even lets me sleep in her bed at night!

I'm really lucky, because if it weren't for the Inspector who visited my last home, I might still be living outside - cold, hungry and lonely. Now there's so much more to life; toys to play with, parks to run around in and all the love and attention I deserve!

I can't remember exactly what happened - maybe I was hit by a car - all I know is that it hurt!

A kind person found me, alone and in pain. My front leg was very badly injured and I desperately needed help. I guess my owners didn't microchip me because no one knew where I came from.

Luckily for me, they took me to the RSPCA. The vet's put my leg into plaster, which was kind of annoying. I'm only 11 months old so I love to play and this has really slowed me down. I also got to stay with a nice lady who took good care of me. It made me feel a lot better because I was really scared.

Hi, I'm Dave and I was out running when I was distracted by something along the pathway. Unfortunately, I misjudged my speed and timing then before I knew it, I was sailing over the edge of a cliff.

Luckily, there was a small ledge that I managed to land on. I was scared and didn't know how I was going to get home and the waves crashing on the rocks below were huge!

Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long. Soon after I fell, a team of SES rescuers lowered themselves down to save me. An RSPCA Inspector was also there to help. They had tasty dog treats to keep me happy, as I was feeling very scared! Before I knew it, I was placed in a harness and winched up to safety.

I was very happy to reach the top and see my owner. I now have a new lead that I have to use when out walking so this doesn't happen again.

I'm Nessie and although I now live in a wonderful, loving home, life hasn't always been this easy. I arrived at the RSPCA shelter when I was just 18 months old, after giving birth to 4 kittens. Being a mum really took a lot out of me, especially because I was still young. It was hard for me to care for my kittens whilst also looking after myself. I became very skinny and wasn't in good heath, but when I arrived at the RSPCA they took good care of me. They worked hard to ensure my health improved and I was given the best possible chance to find the right home.

I now live a very happy and relaxed life and enjoy all my creature comforts that my new owners spoil me with.

Flee ridden and badly matted with a fractured leg. That was me just a few months ago. My name is Bailey and when my owners no longer wanted to look after me, the RSPCA came to my rescue. Before arriving at the RSPCA, I was depressed, my fur was matted, I was covered in fleas and had a very painful fracture in my leg. I was in serious need of veterinary attention and pain relief. After having an operation on my leg, RSPCA vets kept a close eye on me for awhile as I was feeling a bit grumpy and sorry for myself. I am now going to go home with a foster carer so they can pamper me while I get better. My leg is healing and I have a bucket around my head for the time being, so I'm not tempted to lick my wound!

I'm just 3 years old and already I've been through a lot. Before arriving at the RSPCA, there wasn't really anyone to take care of me. I was suffering from a nasty hernia on my stomach, was extremely matted and dirty and had a back leg that didn't work properly. But the RSPCA vets have given me an operation and now I am feeling so much better. My leg will take a little while to heal so while I'm recovering, I'm being well looked after by a lovely foster carer.

I am so much happier now and I'll sit up and beg if you ask me to!

Hi there! I'm Mika. I was recently taken to the RSPCA, after escaping from my house. Being a ferret, I couldn't resist the opportunity to explore but when I realised I was lost, I started to panic. Luckily, a kind person brought me to the RSPCA where I stayed for a few days and was well looked after.

The Victorian Ferret Society then took me in, to help me find a new home. I made a great new friend called Zura and we have now been fostered together!

My new owners have made sure that their house is safe and secure so I don't get lost on any more 'adventures'. I am loving my different life with my new best friend.

My name is Bella and I was found in a skip bin. My eye had previously been surgically removed but I faced a world of new challenges as I had been left abandoned and neglected for so long.

Thankfully I was found and rescued and taken to the RSPCA where I was given life saving veterinary attention. I told myself I needed to stay strong because I knew there was someone out there who would be able to give me a new lease on life and take care of me in a way that I had never known.

I recovered well after my surgery and met a wonderful family who decided to take me home. We adore each other and I am very spoiled and extremely well loved.

I was surrendered to the RSPCA as my owner was unable to continue caring for me. I'm Bobby, or 'Bob' as I am affectionately called by my new owner.

I was just 7 months old when I arrived at the RSPCA. I had been purchased from a pet shop and I don't think my owner was prepared to take on the responsibility of owning an animal.

When I was surrendered I had a bad ear infection and in addition to that, had an infection in both eyes caused by excessive tearing. I now require ongoing treatment in order to prevent skin irritation and further infection. After spending what felt like forever at the RSPCA, just waiting for someone to fall in love with me, I have finally been given a second chance at life.

Now that I have found a wonderful new home, where I receive extra special care and attention, I am as happy as ever. I love my runs in the local dog park and watching TV on the couch.

I'm Sheeba and I arrived at the RSPCA as a stray when I was only a few weeks old. As I was so young I was having difficulty drinking and keeping my fluids down. But after a month in the RSPCA's care I was ready to go to my new home.

Now me and my new friend Murray (who was surrendered into the RSPCA'S care) are living comfortably in our new home with our dedicated owners. They provide us with everything we need for a healthy and happy life.

Hi everybody, my name is Missy. I like to snuggle up on my owners couch these days, but things were not always so easy for me. The RSPCA rescued me when my original owners just didn't want me anymore. I was just half my size when the RSPCA found me, but now I am a healthy 5kg and my new owners can't imagine life without me. The best bit is I have a new sister Jinx, who likes to 'purr' instead of 'bark', but it doesn't matter as we still get to have lots of fun and I am never lonely. My new owners take me everywhere. We get to go for lots of walks, runs on the beach and after a long day of playing, she even lets me sleep in her bed!
