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

Tina is a dog who is described as having a "spring in her step" and is now looking for her forever home.

Tina has not been tested around cats and any children in the home should be over the age of 10 years old.

Simba is a cat who is described as having a "super friendly and loving personality" who is looking for his forever home.

He enjoys exploring and then coming home to curl up on a warm lap.

Simba cannot live with other animals as he is very dominant and prefers not to share his space.

However, he absolutely adores the company of humans and is very vocal when showing his appreciation for hugs and strokes.

Gender - Male

Age - 10 months old

Breed - Mastiff crossbreed

Colour - Grey

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

Blue is described as a dog who is "itching to blossom with a bit of guidance" in a new home.

He is described as great at meeting new people although "he's not yet learned how to tone things down with little ones".

Blue could go into a home with dog-savvy older children as he is "eager to jump right into a loving fray of fun and frolics".

He may need a bit of help settling in and learning about house life, and he would appreciate plenty of company in the early days.
