The small rspca centers do have problems with funding. They also do their best to rehome the dogs they have there. The huge rspca H/Q however are one of the richest charities with over 19 million in the bank. yet the small centers have to pay the big wigs to use the rspca logo. They have to do all their own fundraising to care for the animals they have. the rspca organisation made a statement a couple of years ago that they would not be taking in any more stray cats and dogs. its all about prosecutions now with them, and trying to get people to leave them all their money in wills. the donations people make via direct debits etc dont go to caring for animals, it goes towards bringing private prosecutions and flash cars, big houses etc, so unless you make a donation to the actual local center, your money will go to their next xmas party. however the small rspca centres like cross lane are still taking in some strays.
also visit the council dog pound in birkenhead..thats where you can view death row dogs, fact.
