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.
Sage
Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Dachshund (Wire-haired)
Colour - Tan and Brown
If you want to adopt Sage you can view their full profile here.
Sage is a dog who can take a while to warm up to new people but is very affectionate once she gets to know someone.
She is quite an active girl, and the RSPCA believes she will love to go for long walks in the woods or countryside once her confidence has grown.
Her ideal home would be a quiet and understanding one where she is the only pet.
The RSPCA adds: "A private secure garden is a must for Sage and the home should be adult only."
Roma
Gender - Female
Age - One year old
Breed - Crossbreed/Unknown
Colour - Black and Tan
If you want to adopt Roma you can view their full profile here.
Roma is described as an affectionate dog who will "almost get offended" if people do not pay her attention.
She is very energetic and loves going out for long walks or runs.
Roma came into the RSPCA as a stray, but due to her friendly nature, the RSPCA believes she may have lived in a home at some point.
She will need a bit of help with her loose lead walking as she is quite eager and strong when going out on walks.
Roma could potentially live with another dog (pending introductions) and could share a home with children over the age of 12.
Minnie
Gender - Female
Age - Four years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair
Colour - Tabby
If you want to adopt Minnie you can view their full profile here.
Minnie is described as a "super affectionate" cat who will take any chance she can to jump out of her pen and stretch her legs.
She would need to be the only pet in a new home as she is not a fan of sharing attention.
Minnie would be suitable for most families who have had experience of owning a cat before.

Hutch and Victor
Gender - Male
Age - Adult
Breed - Crested
Colour - Black and White
If you want to adopt Hutch and Victor you can view their full profile here.
Hutch and Victor are a bonded pair who are looking to find a loving new home together.
New owners will need to be aware that Hutch has bladder stones, which means that his diet will require a bit of extra attention.
Additionally, Hutch may require a minor procedure in the future to remove the stones.
Danaher Animal Home adds: "They're looking for someone with a heart as big as theirs to understand their needs and provide the special care Hutch deserves."
