Numerous pets from around Essex are looking for their forever homes - could you help them out?

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.

Gender - Male

Age - One year old

Breed - Greyhound

Colour - Black

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

Magic is a dog who is described as having "bundles of personality" and loves a bit of fuss and attention.

He is an ex-racing Greyhound so adopters will need to be aware he has a high prey drive and keep him on a lead when out in public.

Magic does walk well on a lead though and is also quite happy travelling in a car.

He could live with children of secondary school age but not a cat.
