A rescue dog described by the RSPCA as one of the thinnest dogs they had ever seen has made a miraculous transformation and is looking for adoption.
Tan lurcher Scooby was found weighing only 20kg when found by the Wirral and Chester branch of the RSPCA in February 2024.
After some veterinary care and TLC at Wirral & Chester Branch Animal Centre in Wallasey he completely transformed and put on weight to become a healthy 38kg. However the four-year-old has yet to find a home after being the home’s longest resident at 477 days.
Wirral & Chester Branch Animal Centre Manager Kay Hawthorn, said: “Scooby has been through so much. He nearly didn’t make it, but we are so thankful he pulled through.

“He is the most gorgeous, loving, energetic and playful pooch and deserves all the happiness in the world.
“We just hope the perfect person is reading this so we can find his forever family soon. He has been waiting for far too long and is our longest stay – we need people’s help to change that.”
After multiple social media campaigns, Scooby is still looking for a home. His ideal home would need a fair sized garden, or access to green space, for him to play and he could potentially live with another dog but no cats.
