The RSPCA operates 14 national rehoming centres across England and Wales and supports a network of branches with an additional 45 animal shelters.
The figures come as the RSPCA launches its annual Adoptober campaign, encouraging prospective pet owners to consider giving a rescued animal a new home as new national figures raise concerns that rehoming has slowed.
But in Shropshire the total number of animals rehomed increased by nine per cent from 536 in 2020 to 586 in 2021. The number of cats rehomed increased by 14 per cent from 343 in 2020 to 391 in 2021; the rehoming of horses increased 28 per cent; rabbits went up slightly from 21 to 22, while other pets increased by 23 per cent from 44 to 54.
Across England and Wales, the average stay for an animal also increased for dogs by 9.4 per cent - from 85 days in 2020 to 93 days in 2021 - and for rabbits by 12 per cent, with cats' length of stay remaining the same at 67 days. “Many of the animals - particularly dogs - who are coming into our care have behavioural challenges which could be linked to how they were bred as well as lock down limiting the amount of training, socialising and outside world experience they had.
