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.

Ella

Gender - Female

Age - Five years old

Breed - Chihuahua

Colour - Tan and White

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

Ella is described as a "cheeky" and "feisty" chihuahua who loves her food and will steal treats right out of your pocket.

She came into the care of the RSPCA from an unsuitable home and as a result, is very concerned by strangers and will react if they approach or attempt to touch her.



Anyone wishing to adopt her will need to be prepared to make several visits to the shelter to get to know her and gain her trust.

Ella is reactive to other dogs so she will need to be the only pet in a new home.

The RSPCA adds: "Ella is looking for an adult-only, experienced home and will need to live in a quiet home environment as she can be quite sound sensitive."

Spencer

Gender - Male

Age - One year old

Breed - Lurcher

Colour - Brindle

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

Spencer is said to be a "friendly" and "lively" dog who was a little shy on arrival but soon became quite confident.

He will need training and an active family who can keep up with him and stop him from becoming bored.

Spencer has been sociable with other dogs but can be a little vocal and over-enthusiastic when he sees others out on walks.

The RSPCA adds: "This just seems to be enthusiasm to say hello but his new owner will need to be prepared to manage this."

Molly

Gender - Female

Age - 11 years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Black and White

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

Molly came into the care of the RSPCA as her previous owner had sadly passed away.

She has settled into a routine in the cattery but she enjoys time outside of her pen the most.

Molly enjoys a fuss on her terms as she will have a little purr and stroke but likewise knows when she has had enough.

She will need a calm home as she is used to only living with one or two people.

Breed - English Spot (Pashmina) and crossbreed (Thumper)

Pashmina and Thumper came into the care of the RSPCA from another rescue after they were no longer wanted by a previous owner.

As they are bonded together, they are looking to find a new home as a pair.

The RSPCA adds: "Pashmina is the larger of the two and officially the one in charge! Thumper is the smaller bunny who follows her lead.

"They can both be a bit touchy when we clean their pen but they soon walk away and find a better area to mooch about in."
