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.

Ayla

Gender - Female

Age - Four years old

Breed - Terrier crossbreed

Colour - Tan

Ayla came into the care of the RSPCA with untreated ear and eye infections and very itchy skin that was causing her discomfort.

After months of treatment, she is feeling much better but is still on some treatment for her skin that her new owner will need to continue with.

She is said to be a "wonderful little dog with lots of personality" who will likely be a bit cautious when meeting new people.



Ayla loves nothing more than long walks and is especially fond of the seafront, particularly with exploring around the rock pools.

Ideally, she would go to an experienced, adult-only home as an only pet.

The RSPCA adds: "She would be perfect for someone who works from home and /or retired and wants the constant loving affection that Ayla gives. She doesn’t like being left on her own which creates some anxiety for her." 

Snoopy

Gender - Male

Age - One year old

Breed - Crossbreed/Unknown

Colour - White, Black and Tan

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

Snoopy is a dog who has specific needs due to being completely deaf and also partially sighted.

As a result, he relies very much on his sense of smell and it takes him time to get to know new people.

He can be wary and vocal with anyone new and can get spooked easily in unfamiliar situations.

Therefore, he is looking for an experienced owner and a quiet home environment with someone prepared to take things at his pace.

Once he's bonded with someone Snoopy is said to be a very happy and enthusiastic dog.

Leon

Breed - French Bulldog

Colour - Brindle

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

Leon is described as a "shy boy" who can be a little worried when meeting new people.

However, once he gets to know someone he is a happy and affectionate dog who enjoys attention. 

He is housetrained, knows how to sit and is used to being left for a few hours on his own.

Leon cannot live with children or have any visiting children and will need his own, secure garden.

The RSPCA adds: "Leon is looking for an experienced, adult home with someone who has dealt with behavioural problems before and is willing to work with Leon with support from our behaviourist."

Gender - Male (Aubin) and Female (Alaska)

Age - Two years old

Breed - Crossbreed

Colour - White (Aubin) and Harlequin (Alaska)

If you want to adopt Aubin and Alaska you can view their full profile here.

Aubin and Alaska came into the RSPCA after being born in foster care and are looking to find a home together.

They are "strong-willed characters" who don't enjoy being picked up as they tend to wriggle.

The RSPCA adds: "In their next home, they will need a large setup, shed or wendy house with a run attached. They could also live indoors as they are clean."

Additionally, Aubin will need regular grooming due to his long mane.
