Several pets in Sussex are looking for their forever homes, including at the Sussex North & Brighton branch of the RSPCA.

Whether you want to adopt a dog, cat, rabbit or guinea pig, there is plenty of choice.

A few animals from the branch are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.

To help the Sussex North & Brighton branch carry on their work you can donate to them at the website here.

Gender - Female

Age - Three years old

Breed - Border Collie crossbreed

Colour - Brown and White

Sadie is said to be a "nervous" dog who is quite independent and doesn't seek attention.

She does enjoy off-lead exercise in a secure field and is starting to play chase games with people she is more relaxed with.



Sadie is looking for quite a specific home as it will need to be located somewhere not too urban.

Additionally, she'll need a quiet household without children or lots of people coming and going.

The RSPCA adds: "She can be quite reactive to other dogs when out on walks so any new owner will need to be prepared to put lots of time into her training and walk her in quieter areas at less busy times of the day."

Penelope and Rome

Gender - Male (Rome) and Female (Penelope)

Age - Four years old

Breed - Crossbreed

Colour - Chinchilla (Penelope) and Black (Rome)

Penelope and Rome came into the care of the RSPCA after they were no longer wanted by their owner.

They are looking to find a home together and will need a spacious set-up due to their size.

The RSPCA adds: "Both bunnies are curious and laid-back, Rome is the more likely of the two to approach and see what you might have for him."

"They are increasingly cleaner in their pens, so they could live indoors, but likewise they would also be fine outdoors," they continued.

Molly

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Black and White

Molly came into the care of the RSPCA after her owner sadly passed away and has found cattery life quite stressful so far.

She would be ideally placed in an adult-only home without any other pets.

The RSPCA adds: "Molly does enjoy fuss on her terms, and we are sure settled in a home, she will continue to grow in confidence."

Hippy

Gender - Male

Age - One year old

Breed - Hamster (Syrian)

Colour - Golden

If you want to adopt Hippy you can view their full profile here.

Hippy was surrendered to the RSPCA by his owners, they were moving to rented accommodation which unfortunately didn't allow pets.

He is described as a "sweet little boy" who can be quite shy but has progressively been coming out of his shell over time.

During handling he is very wriggly and can get quite stressed so he will need gentle handling done on his own terms.

The RSPCA adds: "For this reason, we would prefer him to go to an adult-only home. His cage will need to be spacious and filled with enrichment, with plenty of places for him to burrow and hide."
