Sussex RSPCA: 5 pets on the lookout for their new homes

Adopting a pet is a great way to give them a new home after being left on their own, be it by a previous owner passing away or, in some cases, being dumped.

There are several RSPCA branches in the county, along with the affiliated Danaher Animal Home.

If you think you would be able to rehome one of them, go to either the Brighton and East Grinstead Branch, the Sussex West Branch, or the Sussex East & Hastings Branch websites for details.

Sussex RSPCA: 5 pets on the lookout for their new homes

Boris

Age - Two years old

Breed - Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed

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

Boris arrived with the RSPCA via an inspector as he was living with another dog in a very unsuitable environment and was very malnourished on arrival.  

He has now gained some weight and is much happier and friendlier, but can be a little anxious.

Boris craves attention, looking for an experienced adult-only home with someone who is prepared to put time into his training.

He has not had a lot of experience out and about, so new sounds and smells can be a bit overwhelming for him.

Kahlan

Age - Five years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

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

Kahlan is described as super affectionate and came into RSPCA care after being found as a stray.

Since being in care, she has shown to have a really sweet personality but can be a little shy to begin with. She now loves to have a lap cuddle and will play with her toys throughout the day.

Kahlan is believed to have an allergy to plastic, so eats and drinks from metal / ceramic bowls. She has also shown to be a little picky with what food she likes.

Due to our lack of history on Kahlan, she needs a home with older children and no other pets, and will love to have her own garden to explore.

Bluebell

Age - Two years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

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

Bluebell is a young and timid lady, who arrived from another RSPCA centre.

She prefers to keep a distance from people but loves her food and will approach at feed times.

Bluebell is looking at for an alternative lifestyle home, so could live on a farm, stables/livery yard, garden centre, or on private land.

She will need a home base to call her own, somewhere sheltered and enclosed where she can sleep, eat and shelter from bad weather.

Aubin and Alaska

Breed - Crossbreed

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

This duo arrived at the RSPCA in November 2023 and have spent their entire life within the shelter system.

Aubin is a male white lionhead-cross rabbit, and Alaska, the female, is a harlequin crossbreed. They get on well despite some squabbles.

Both are just under 3kg, but are on an ongoing diet to trim down. They are also neutered and microchipped and their vaccines have been kept up to date.

Both of them are keen on being picked up, although Aubin does sit very well for his grooming sessions, which he will need.

They would love to go to a new home with lots of space for them to exercise and play around.
