Gotta love this…
The RSPCA found new homes for more Staffordshire bull terriers than any other type of dog last year.
The animal charity said it rehoused 507 of the 615 “staffies” and crosses it had taken into its 13 regional centres.
The high number needing new homes was in part down to their popularity with irresponsible owners “more interested in their own image”, it said.
‘Brilliant companions’
The welfare charity, which is marking RSPCA Week, said despite the negative image of Staffies as “status dogs” they can make fantastic pets.
A new RSPCA website – www.gettoknowadog.co.uk – launched today and aims to help people find out more about adopting a Staffie.
