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.

Valerie

Gender - Female

Age - Two years old

Breed - Crossbreed/Unknown

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

Valerie was very shy when first arriving at the RSPCA, as well as having matted fur and a cherry eye in both eyes.

This has now been operated on and she has had a full groom which has made her much happier.

Valerie is looking for a calm home environment to move into with access to a secure garden.

She will need regular brushing to keep her coat in good condition and will also need visits to the groomers every few months.

The RSPCA adds: "She would prefer an adult-only household but could possibly live with children 12 years or older if introductions go well at the shelter."

Hamish

Hamish is generally a very friendly boy once he gets to know someone and enjoys sitting on people's laps.

He is looking for an owner with some knowledge of resource guarding who is prepared to continue his training and work with the RSPCA's behaviourist.

Hamish is sociable with other dogs and may be able to live with a female dog after successful introductions at the centre.

The RSPCA adds: "He is still a pup at heart and will need lots of training and mental stimulation in his new home."

Mackie

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

Mackie is a very friendly boy who loves fuss and attention and "can be very enthusiastic with his kisses".

He is very clean in kennels so should be housetrained and he enjoys his walks.

Mackie would prefer an adult-only household with a garden to potter about in.

The RSPCA adds: "He needs a home where he is not left on his own for too long as he has never been used to this."
