Maude came into the care of the RSPCA after being picked up as a stray and was not claimed.

She was pregnant on arrival and now that her pup is weaned she is ready to find a new home of her own.

Maude is described as a "very friendly girl who craves fuss and attention" and will need company at home for most of the time.

She is sociable with some dogs on walks but is not too keen on smaller terrier types, She will need to be on the only pet in a new place.

The RSPCA adds: "Maude is looking for an active home and could live with older children who are used to bouncy dogs. She will need her own, secure, private garden."

Sebastian

Gender - Male

Age - One year old

Breed - Airedale Terrier crossbreed

Colour - Black

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

Sebastian is described as a "young, energetic boy" who is very friendly and sociable.

He likes nothing better than to be fussed over and given lots of love and attention, but he can suffer a little from separation anxiety over long periods.

Sebastian would be best suited to join an active family as he needs plenty of exercise, with three walks a day recommended.

The RSPCA adds: "Seb is good with children, although his over-excitement and tendency to jump up will be something to consider. He would be better in a home with older children who are confident with dogs."

Arizona and Phoenix

Gender - Male

Age - Three to six months old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Ginger and White

If you want to adopt Arizona and Phoenix you can view their full profile here.

Arizona and Phoenix came into the care of the RSPCA after being found in a multi-cat home living in bad conditions.

As a result, they haven't experienced much human interaction but are growing more curious every day.

Arizona is the braver of the two, he has started to purr and accept some strokes when he is feeling up to it.

Phoenix is the shyer boy, but he is very inquisitive and is progressively getting more comfortable.

The RSPCA adds: "In their next home, the boys will need a calm, quiet environment with no other animals. Once they are ready to go outside, they will need a garden they can access (ideally via a cat flap!)"

Gender - Male

Age - Four years old

Breed - English lop

Colour - White and Grey

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

Buster was found living in poor conditions and was in bad health but has since recovered remarkably during his care.

He is described as "a sweet guy" who likes a few strokes and a bit of fuss from his human carers.

However, he can be a bit "strong-headed" and can be a bit particular about where you put his toys and food bowl.

The RSPCA adds: "Buster will need a neutered female to keep him company in his next home. He will need a spacious set up with plenty of enrichment.

"He is still learning to be litter trained, but has done very well and is getting better every day, so he could live either indoors or outdoors."
