Several pets in Sussex are looking for their forever homes, including at the Brighton & The Heart of Sussex branch and the Sussex West Branch of the RSPCA.

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

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

To help the RSPCA branches carry on their work, you can donate to them on the websites here and here.

Loki

Gender - Male

Age - Two years old

Breed - Border Collie crossbreed

Colour - Black

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

Loki is a dog who can be a bit nervous of the world around him, so he is looking for an understanding family to join.

He is currently walked on a three-point harness due to sometimes having excitable moments out on walks.



Loki is doing well with his car travel training, although he can still be nervous, and this will need to be worked on in the home.

The RSPCA adds: "Because of this, his adopters would need to live in a quiet area where he could be taken on walks before he gets used to the car."

Overall, Loki is described as a "snuggle bug" who loves to cuddle up and play with toys.

Jenny

Gender - Female

Age - Six to 12 months old

Breed - Patterdale Terrier

Colour - Tan and Black

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

Jenny is a dog who had a very sheltered start to life, and as a result, quite often finds things very exciting or overwhelming.

She will need to live in a rural area or have adopters who would be willing to manage her walks using a car to get to places.

The RSPCA adds: "Currently here at the centre she is doing really well with starting to meet new people, however, adopters must be aware that this is a work in progress and this is something that will need to be managed in the home."

Once she gets to know you, she is a very affectionate and cheeky character who loves to play.

Chicken

Gender - Female

Age - 14 years old

Breed - Domestic Longhair

Colour - Black

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

Chicken is quite a shy cat who has had quite a tough time recently and is adapting to her new environment at her own pace.

She has previously had her tail amputated and her thyroid removed, but this doesn't impact her in her day-to-day life.

The RSPCA adds: "She does, however, require daily thyroid medication which she eats happily in her food."

Overall, Chicken is a quiet and gentle cat who is looking for a calm home to join.

Alf and Sarina

Gender - Male (Alf) and Female (Sarina)

Age - Four years old

Breed - Crossbreed

Colour - White

If you want to adopt Alf and Sarina you can view their full profile here.

Alf and Sarina came into the care of the RSPCA after being found abandoned and are looking for a home together.

The centre believes both of them were well-looked after before arriving to us as they were clean and Alf had been neutered.

Ideally, they would go to an experienced rabbit home as Sarina has a stubborn character and "will run rings round her owners if they let her".

Both rabbits would benefit from having a secure area to run around in outside.
