My Rescue Pet: New neigh-bours welcomed in

This summer, we're profiling animals that have been adopted — and their owners.

The SPCA hopes that more of the 46,000 animals coming through its doors each year will find new homes.

Waiting at the SPCA for a long time, Lilly and Rosie finally found their new home with Jacqi Thornborrow and three other rescue horses.

They now live in a big, green, lush paddock, to roam around with a new family to keep them company.

Magoozle — one of the horses already there — is the queen of the paddock.

She had a lot to say about Lilly and Rosie arriving but Thornborrow insists they have all been calm about meeting each other which is great.

"They are two darlings and we are loving having them as part of our rescue herd," Thornborrow says.
