Bristol ARC finds new home for Meg, the dog abandoned at Bristol park bench
After Meg was sadly left tied to a park bench and abandoned back in January, Bristol ARC are very pleased to say that she has found a new home.
It was back in January that Meg was found in an open field, covered in frost and in need of urgent care. The veterinary team at the rescue shelter took care of Meg, who could have been left in the cold all night.
Whilst she was in their care, she was soon found to have a phantom pregnancy.
is needed now More than ever
“Phantom pregnancies can be very distressing for dogs, so her carers spent the next few weeks keeping her comfortable and being understanding of what she was going through,” said a spokesperson from Bristol Animal Rescue Center.

A member of the team has said they are very glad that Meg is back to her very “cheeky” self, where she loves to “get cuddles, and steal her favourite toys to take back to her kennel.”
“The vital rescue work carried out by the team at Bristol A.R.C. simply could not happen without the support of the local Bristol community.”
“The generous support of the public helps them to care for animals like Meg, providing the animals with expert care and love, from one on one time with their carers to the veterinary support needed to keep them happy and healthy, without which Meg would’ve had a much tougher time.”
To continue looking after animals such as Meg, Bristol A.R.C has recently launched a new appeal; ‘Keep our nightlight burning’.
The appeal is raising funds to support the out of hours work provided by the charity. Donations will help to provide care for vulnerable animals, like Meg, when they need it most.

“By increasing the amount of time our Animal Care team have to work in the evenings alongside our volunteers, we are able to do more of what we do best, provide excellent care for the animals,” said Jodie Hayward, Animal Home Manager.
“Extended hours mean will be able to safely exercise dogs who require toilet breaks, socialise with our smaller furry friends, spend precious one-to-one time with nervous animals who are undergoing rehabilitation and ensure that those on late feeds are monitored closely.”
