A dog who had never been taken for a walk and was kept in shocking conditions in a dilapidated barn is still looking for a new home - despite being rescued 471 days ago. Charlie, a five-year-old crossbreed canine, was rescued by the RSPCA in January 2021 from a property in Ceredigion, along with 44 other dogs aged between 11 weeks and 10 years of age.
They were being kept in "inappropriate conditions", and the sheer amount of dogs at the site meant the property owner was struggling to meet their basic needs, resulting in a lack of shelter and a poor diet for the various different breeds.

Many of the dogs rescued at the beginning of last year were taken to the RSPCA’s Animal Centre in Newport, but Charlie is now the only one that remains. In fact, he is now the animal charity’s joint longest-stay dog in Wales. That’s because two potential offers to provide him with a loving home have ultimately come to nothing, meaning that Charlie is still waiting for a happy ending after going through so much.
