RSPCA Cornwall invites you to meet the dogs waiting for a home
A rescue dog does not get to write its own advert. It waits for someone to walk through the door, say hello, and decide to give it a second chance. Later this month, RSPCA Cornwall is making that first meeting a little easier to arrange.

An open day built around the dogs
The branch is holding an Open Meet Dog Day on Saturday 22 August, a chance to sit down with its rehoming team and talk through the dogs currently looking for foster and forever homes. It runs in two sessions, 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm, and it is appointment only. To book a slot you need to call 01637 881455.
The idea is simple. If you have been thinking about welcoming a dog into your life but were not sure where to start, this is a low-pressure way to ask questions, meet a few of the dogs in person, and find out what adopting or fostering actually involves.
Adopting is not the only way to help
Not everyone is in a position to take a dog on permanently, and the team behind RSPCA Cornwall is keen to point out that fostering can make just as much difference. Opening your home to a dog for a shorter stretch gives it a break from kennel life and helps it get ready for a permanent home down the line. The branch’s rehoming team will talk you through both options on the day.
Eight faces, and more you won’t have seen yet
Rosco, Atlas, Keith, Coco Bella, Ned, Venus, Bailey and TJ are among the dogs featured on the branch’s poster for the day, a mix of ages, sizes and personalities. You can see some of the dogs currently searching for their forever homes on the RSPCA Cornwall dogs page, but the team says there are others who have not made it onto the website yet. The only way to meet everyone waiting for a second chance is to come along.
The branch, which is marking 30 years in 2026, says every conversation on the day could be the start of a dog’s happy new beginning. Slots are limited to appointments, so anyone hoping to go along will need to ring ahead on 01637 881455.
