RSPCA Essex: 5 pets who are on the lookout for new homes

Whether you want to adopt a dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig or hamster, there are usually some who want to find a new owner.

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 Essex South, Southend & District branch, the South West branch, or the Danaher Animal Home websites for details.

You can also donate to the charities to help them carry on their rescue work at the same websites.

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

Nadia is a dog who is looking for a forever home after coming into the care of Danaher Animal Home as a stray.

She has shown signs and indications that she is toilet trained but may require some refreshing as it will be a new home for her.

Nadia also walks well on a lead, only really pulling when she sees a cat or wildlife in the distance.

Due to her strength ideally, she would be rehomed with owners who have had previous experience with Anatolian Shepherds as well as bigger breeds.

Zoe is a cat who is described as being "very shy" and will need to be given time to get adjusted in a new home.

She is affectionate and loves having her chin scratched but care needs to be taken as she is a little on the older side.

At first, she would prefer to not be overly handled in the home until she has gotten used to things.

Danaher Animal Home recommends she go into a quiet residence with no other pets.
