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.

Scooby came into the care of the RSPCA after being picked up as a stray with very sore skin and ears.

This has been treated, and she will be ready to find a new home soon.



She is described as a friendly and happy dog who is very sociable with people.

The RSPCA adds: "She has been friendly with other dogs since being with us but will need a home without cats or small animals."

Scooby may be able to live with teenage children who are dog savvy.

Star

Star came into the care of the RSPCA after her owner was no longer in a position to be able to look after her.

The centre adds: "She arrived with five pups in tow that have now been weaned and she is almost ready to find a new home of her own."

Star was quite shy at first, but has become a friendly and affectionate dog who enjoys her walks and toys.

She is looking for an active family who will continue her training and can live with older children.

Pixie

Breed - Domestic semi-crossbreed

Colour - Tabby

Pixie was quite shy and timid when first arriving at the RSPCA, but has become more settled over time.

She will take treats, enjoys a bit of a fuss and doesn't mind being brushed now.

Pixie will need a patient and calm home to move into so she can settle in at her own pace.

She would do best in an adult-only space with access to a garden.

Freddy

Gender - Male

Age - Two years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Black and White

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

Freddy came into the care of the RSPCA as a stray and as a result, was used to fending for himself.

While he likes attention, it's within his own limits, and he will need a home where he can explore.

The RSPCA adds: "Freddy’s perfect home also includes a large garden, which he can access via a catflap whenever the mood takes him."

He would need to go to an adult-only home, ideally as an only pet.

The RSPCA adds: "At the moment he will need to live indoors or in a shed, but come spring time when the temperatures are warmer he may be able to live outside."
