Several pets in Hampshire are looking for their forever homes, including at the RSPCA Solent branch in The Stubbington Ark.
Whether you want to adopt a dog, cat, rabbit or guinea pig, there is plenty of choice.
A few animals from The Stubbington Ark are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.
To help the RSPCA Solent branch carry on its work you can donate to their website here.
Marley
Gender - Female
Age - Unknown
Breed - Lurcher
Colour - Brindle
If you want to adopt Marley you can view their full profile here.
Marley is described as a "sweet and gentle girl" who walks well on a lead and responds well to training.
She is reactive to other dogs but is learning to be calm at a distance, which will need to be continued in her new home.
At the moment she will need to be exercised in a quiet area where there are minimal dogs around.
Marley would do best in an adult-only home as an only pet due to having a high prey drive.
The RSPCA adds: "Marley will need a private enclosed garden with a 6ft fence, ideally in a quiet area or with the option to drive to somewhere quiet for walks. Experience with a reactive dog would be beneficial."
Zorro
Gender - Male
Age - Two years old
Breed - Border Collie crossbreed
Colour - Black and White
If you want to adopt Zorro you can view their full profile here.
Zorro is said to be a "smart" and "agile" dog who responds well to training using food and toys as rewards.
He can be worried about new people and can sometimes bark at people on walks but is responding very well to his training.
Zorro would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with active owners.
The RSPCA adds: "Zorro cannot live with children. However, he could live with another well-matched dog, if the family were experienced in multi-dog situations and had the means to separate for periods while Zorro is settling in."
Lavender
Gender - Female
Age - Four years old
Breed - Domestic
Colour - Grey
If you want to adopt Lavender you can view their full profile here.
Lavender is described as "a lady of her own mind" who is looking to find a new home without a companion.
There have been attempts to bond her with another rabbit, but the RSPCA has concluded she is better suited to living on her own.
They add: "Companionship from her humans is what she likes most, but on her terms with a family who are able to provide a patient approach as she settles into her new home."
She enjoys grazing away at her hay or to work through a puzzle or forage feeder to get her morning nuggets.

Mary-Kate and Ashley
Gender - Female
Age - Unknown
Breed - Domestic
Colour - Brown and Black
If you want to adopt Mary-Kate and Ashley you can view their full profile here.
Mary-Kate and Ashley are sisters who are looking to find a loving new home together.
They were quite nervous when they first came to the centre but have grown in confidence massively thanks to their love for food.
The pair find handling a little stressful, especially Mary-Kate, so this is something that would require a patient approach.
The RSPCA adds: "They love their food and hay and can often be found digging into their hay all throughout the day."
