A number of adorable pets across RSPCA Sussex branches are looking for their new homes - can you help?
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.

RSPCA Sussex: 5 pets who are on the lookout for new homes
Ember and Opal
Age - One and four years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
If you want to adopt Ember and Opal, you can view their full profiles here and here.
Ember is a lively, young cat who was initially quite shy and scared, but after a few days of settling in, came out of her shell.
She is a bright, curious young girl and while she can be initially unsure of strangers at first, once you have her trust, she would love plenty of strokes and fuss from you.
Opal is a chatty, charismatic cat and is quick to warm up to you and step up on your lap for some lap cuddles.
Ember came in with Opal and they get on very well and love to groom each other, so they will ideally go to a new home together where they have a spacious garden.
Marlow
Age - Nine years old
Breed - Beagle
If you want to adopt Marlow, you can view his full profile here.
Marlow is a "wonderful and cheeky" beagle who came into the centre due to his owner's declining health.
He came in skinny with sore skin and gunky ears, but since being at the centre has started to feel better.
He has been very friendly with everyone he meets, even the vets and finds being at the centre quite stressful as he struggles to be on his own.
He needs an owner who will be with him most of the time as well as a sofa to snuggle on and snacks at the ready.
Bonnie
Age - Five years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
If you want to adopt Bonnie, you can view her full profile here.
Bonnie came to Bluebell Ridge from one of the RSPCA inspectors after she was believed to have been abandoned in a property.
Despite her previous circumstances and only being in care for a short time, she is starting to come out of her shell.
Bonnie is very affectionate, enjoying lots of fusses and while she can be shy at first, one she trusts you, she will give you lots of love.
She would prefer to be home away from other cats but the RSPCA says they are open to doing dog testing and seeing how she would be around children too.
Jenny
Age - Six to 12 months
Breed - Patterdale Terrier
If you want to adopt Jenny, you can view her full profile here.
Jenny had a very sheltered start in life so finds everything very exciting or overwhelming; however loves an adventure.
Currently, she is doing 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 loves to play, give kisses and leap up onto your lap.
She is house-trained and travels well in vehicles, but 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, as well as a private garden.
Jenny will need to be the only animal in the home and needs an experienced owner who will support her and continue her behaviour plan, and be willing to put training in.
