Staffie found 'pacing in circles in tiny crate' is looking for forever home

A dog who was going round and round in circles confined in a tiny crate is still looking for her forever home more than a year after she was rescued.

The dogs were cared for at various RSPCA rehoming centres and many of them have since been adopted. Because of her background, Tess has needed ongoing support and was only ready to start looking for a new home this September. But sadly she hasn’t received a single application since, and staff at the animal centre in New Cut Lane in Southport are baffled as to why she’s received so little interest.

"She also loves toys - especially her tennis ball - and she’d be quite happy playing throw and fetch with you all day. It’s been a long road to recovery for Tess and she’s become a firm favourite with all the staff and volunteers who really look forward to taking her out for a walk or just having a little cuddle.

Tess is a quick learner and knows basic commands but she’d benefit from positive reward-based training which is something her new owners will need to continue to support her with. She also has a minor dry skin condition which can make her feel itchy from time to time, but this is improving with medication and is something that will be discussed with potential adopters.

Intestinal bacteria metabolite found to promote capture of antigens by dendritic cellsDendritic cells play a key role in the mammalian immune system. These cells are present throughout the human body and are known to capture foreign bodies, or antigens, using extendable 'arms' called dendrites. Once captured, dendritic cells present these substances to immune T cells, thereby initiating an immune response.
