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.

Chappa is described as a "precious little soul" who's had an uncertain start to life which has left him with some trust issues surrounding touch.

He is friendly with new people but does not always want to be stroked straight away.

Chappa is full of energy so is looking to join a family that will take him for long walks and play plenty of games to keep him healthy.

Danaher Animal Home adds: "When Chappa gets to know you he is so affectionate and loving, he really hopes the right person will see past his uncertainty around physical touch and will give him the second chance he so desperately deserves!"
