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

She is easily spooked by noises or quick movements so is ideally looking to join a quiet home without any young children.
Danaher Animal Home adds: "Rebal is affectionate and friendly, and not too strong on the lead. She is small for a rottie, and although she's not 100% sure on other dogs she is doing brilliantly making some doggy friends here at the centre!"

Freddie is described as a "gentle giant" who absolutely loves his human friends and is looking to find a place of his own.
