MORE than 15,000 animals were rehomed by the RSPCA in Hampshire over the past decade, the charity has revealed. Celebrating its 200th birthday this year the RSPCA was founded after a meeting in a London coffee shop where members vowed to help rescue creatures being abused or needing new homes. Hampshire is home to independent RSPCA branches including one in the New Forest, and also has the national RSPCA centre in Ashley Heath. Additionally, they have helped pet owners in the county by providing 16,448 neuters and 11,866 microchips. “But we are determined to rise to the challenge and help animals and pet owners who need us more than ever.”To donate visit: www.rspca.org.uk/200
