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.

Tyson is said to be an "affectionate" dog who loves cuddles and playing with his toys.
He can be anxious at times so he will need some patience and is looking to be the only dog in a home.
Danaher Animal Home adds: "Tyson is hoping to find a family with some German Shepherd experience as he is truly typical of his breed and shows many of their traits.
"Because of his behaviour around dogs, he might benefit from some extra training and socialisation but this will be discussed in more detail with the suitable applicant."
Dusty

Age - Adolescent
Breed - Lionhead

Dusty is described as a "charming and affectionate boy" who thrives on human companionship and adores being the centre of attention.
He can deal with the "typical hustle and bustle of household life" and is simply looking for a warm and loving family home.
Danaher Animal Home adds: "While Dusty values his time with humans above all, he does feel a bit lonely when left by himself.
"To complete his happiness, he's on the lookout for a lady friend—a 'girlfriend', if you will—to keep him company and share in his daily adventures."
