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

Whether you want to adopt a dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig or hamster, someone always wants 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 these charities and help them carry on their rescue work at the same websites.

Mini came into the care of the centre after being found as a stray and has regained full health through treatments and a good diet.

She is described as a "happy and affectionate" dog who loves meeting new people and enjoying a bit of a fuss.

Mini would benefit from being the only pet in a new home as she likes her own space and would need a secure garden also.

Caramel could live with children aged eight or above as well as potentially another dog.

Gender - Male

Age - Four years old

Breed - Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross

Colour - Grey and White

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

Dobby came into Danaher Animal Home as a stray and was unfortunately undernourished.

However, with a tailored feeding plan he has been gaining weight and his "affectionate and playful personality" is now shining through.

Dobby would benefit from being the only dog in a new home and finding patient owners.

Ideally, Dobby would love to find an adults-only home and a life without cats, primarily because his past experiences with them are unknown.

Gender - Female

Age - Adult

Breed - Continental giant

Colour - Black

If you want to adopt Frankie you can view her full profile here.

Frankie is described as a "bit of a character" with a vibrant personality which can't be ignored.

Danaher Animal Home adds: "Now, Frankie is certainly the kind to let you know when she's not quite pleased; it's her way of expressing her unique quirks and preferences—nothing personal, of course."

She is hoping to find a male rabbit to live with but will need time to feel totally at ease before actually living with him.

The centre adds: "This could take time but we are hopeful she has it in her to calm somewhat and become a more tolerant and patient version of herself over time."
