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, 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 the charities and help them carry on their rescue work at the same websites.

If you want to adopt Felicity you can view their full profile here.
Felicity is a young pup who is full of "boundless love and energy" and is looking for a forever home that is "seasoned in the nuances of her breeds".
Danaher Animal Home adds: "Expect a dash of mischief mingled with delightful learning curves, for life with puppy Felicity will be nothing short of a joyous adventure. There's the initial shyness for a few minutes but she soon wriggles her way onto your lap for lots of cuddles and affection!"
She has the basics to learn, such as toilet training, but the centre believes teaching will not be too difficult.
Beth

Beth came into the care of the RSPCA back in December and required multiple surgeries.
Despite having lost one eye, she is always full of positivity, love and a little bit of mischief.
The RSPCA adds: "Despite having recovered remarkably well from her surgeries Beth still needs ongoing treatment for allergies, she must stay on a specialised Urinary diet and regularly receive grooming, potential adopters should bear this in mind before applying."
She could potentially share a home with another dog and any children in the home should be over the age of 12.

Danaher Animal Home says: "She's already showing signs that, with a little patience and a lot of love, she'll blossom into a sociable fur-friend. Give her a moment to adjust, and she'll hop her way right into your heart."
The centre adds she is looking to find a male rabbit to partner up with, and any children in a home would need to be over the age of 10.
