A SPONSORED walk is taking place to raise much-needed funds to support a neglected Warrington dog.

The RSPCA’s Warrington, Halton and St Helens branch, based near Warrington town centre, has organised the event, which is in aid of raising funds for the shelter.

Bronson the dog arrived at the shelter run by the RSPCA after his needs were sadly neglected by his previous owner.

In most cases, dogs like Bronson will have done nothing wrong. They will likely have shown nothing but love and loyalty to their owners, only to be met with unacceptable cruelty and violence.

In other cases, people who got a dog during lockdown will be beginning to find that as they go back to work, they no longer have the time to care for their dog properly.

This leads to guilt and to people deciding they can no longer keep their dog.

That is why the work of the RSPCA is so important. Staff take in these animals when no one else would, but the RSPCA cannot do this work alone.

The shelter relies entirely on donations from generous members of the public to keep serving abused and neglected animals.

Bronson will be taking part in a sponsored walk tomorrow, Friday, with funds raised in this event going towards allowing Bronson to get some extra free time away from the shelter to enjoy the roaming walks he loves.

Donations to support Bronson’s Sponsored Walk can be paid via PayPal, and to donate, visit paypal.com/paypalme/rspcawhs
