Luckily for Jessie at the time, she made a full recovery and found a home but her new owners were no longer able to care for her due to a change in the family’s circumstances.

Jaymi Wilmin, the fundraising manager for the RSPCA Northamptonshire branch, said: “Our summer dog show is one of my favourite events of the year because it’s so much fun. It’s lovely to see families spending time and having fun together with their dogs and helping raise vital funds for the animals in our care at the same time.

“Everyone at the branch adores Jessie, she’s a lovable and lovely girl with so much to give.

"We were upset that she had to come back into our care after a traumatic start to life, but it hasn’t phased her and she’s looking for her forever home.”
