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 are plenty searching for a loving new home.
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.
Finlay
Gender - Male
Age - Six years old
Breed - Jack Russell Terrier
Colour - White, Black, and Tan
If you want to adopt Finlay you can view their full profile here.
Finlay is described as a "worried boy who does not seem to have had a lot of socialisation in the past."
He takes a while to bond with new people, especially men, so is ideally looking for a female owner.
Once he gets to trust someone he can be quite affectionate and enjoys the company.
Ideally, he would go to a home with someone who is experienced with the terrier breed and has the patience to help him settle in.
Ripple and Sherbert
Gender - Male
Age - Four months old
Breed - Lop
Colour - Black (Ripple) and Black & White (Sherbert)
If you want to adopt Ripple and Sherbert you can view their full profile here.
Ripple and Sherbert were born on the RSPCA site after their mum was rescued as part of a group of 83 rabbits and guinea pigs that came to the centre back in August.
They are now four months old and are looking to find a new home as a pair having grown up together.
Ripple and Sherbert get on very well and like to have a bit of a fuss but aren't too keen on being picked up.
The RSPCA adds: "As they are still only babies, they will need to be housed indoors in their new home. They are still learning how to be clean but are improving daily."
Sid
Gender - Male
Age - 12 years old
Breed - Domestic Semi crossbreed
Colour - Black and White
If you want to adopt Sid you can view their full profile here.
Sid initially came into the care of the RSPCA as a very nervous cat but has come a long way in the last few months.
He enjoys having some strokes and attention once he's familiar enough with people.
The RSPCA adds: "Sid will not be able to live with children in his next home, nor any other cats or dogs. He would like a secure garden he could access as he's still quite active and curious."

Dahlia
Gender - Female
Age - One year old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Dahlia you can view their full profile here.
Dahlia came into the care of the RSPCA after being found as part of a group of cats that were living on someone's property.
She hadn't had much human interaction in her life before then and was understandably quite nervous.
Since then she has come out of her shell a bit more, and whilst she still isn't keen on touch she is getting better.
The RSPCA adds: "In her next home, Dahlia will need a secure garden and ideally a cat flap that she can use to go outside. She would not be able to live with children, other cats or dogs."
