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.
Nero
Gender - Male
Age - Six months old
Breed - Husky crossbreed
Colour - Tan and White
If you want to adopt Nero you can view their full profile here.
Nero is described as a sociable dog who loves to engage with his handlers and go on long walks.
He would do best in an active family that is experienced with large-breed puppies.
Due to his age, he will need people around all of the day initially to help him settle in.
The RSPCA adds: "Due to Nero’s size and young age, he can be homed with children 13 years or over. He cannot live around other cats or dogs.
"Even though Nero needs to be the only dog in the home, he would enjoy having doggy friends to walk and play with outside."
Lola
Gender - Female
Age - Adult
Breed - Cane Corso / Mastiff
Colour - Black/Grey
If you want to adopt Lola you can view their full profile here.
Lola is described as a "lovely" and "affectionate" dog who has a lot of energy and will need to learn a few skills to help her navigate the human world.
She loves going for long walks, playing fetch with a ball and figuring out her new enrichment toys.
Lola will need a good-sized secure garden to explore and a comfy bed in a quiet part of the house to sleep in.
The RSPCA adds: "Her new adopters will have to dedicate lots of time to help her settle in at home, it is not known how Lola will cope being left on her own."
Boq
Gender - Male
Age - 20 years old
Breed - Cockatiel Parrot
Colour - Yellow and Grey
If you want to adopt Boq you can view their full profile here.
Boq is described as a fairly shy and unsure parrot who can become panicked when there is a lot of movement around his cage.
However, the RSPCA believes when he is housed with other birds then he will be able to grow in confidence with people.
He will need to be housed in a large outdoor aviary with other birds.
Due to previously being housed inside, you will need to have a set up where he can be housed inside and then slowly transitioned to living outdoors.

Greg and Barry
Gender - Male
Age - Unknown
Breed - Cockerel
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Greg and Barry you can view their full profile here.
Greg and Barry are described as "confident" cockerels who can be handled fairly easily.
The pair could be rehomed together or separately but would need to be placed with a certain amount of chickens depending on this.
Their accommodation should be a large predator-proof coop with a large outdoor/grass area.
The RSPCA adds: "Can live around other pets, but to be kept separately. They can live with children of all ages, but to be supervised when interacting (especially younger children below the ageof 11 years)."
