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.
Maple
Gender - Female
Age - Four years old
Breed - Patterdale Terrier
Colour - Brown
If you want to adopt Maple you can view their full profile here.
Maple is described as a "sweet girl" who can be a bit nervous in new surroundings but tends to build confidence quickly.
She has shown to enjoy people's company in the centre and likes having cuddles.
Maple would benefit from having her own garden to run around in, as she will need recall training before being let off lead in public areas.
She could potentially live with another dog, pending introductions, who would need to have a similar character.
Additionally, she could share a home with children of secondary school age.
Colin
Gender - Male
Age - One year old
Breed - Old English Bulldog
Colour - White and Black
If you want to adopt Colin you can view their full profile here.
Colin is described as a "sweet, playful and affectionate boy" who can be a little bit worried by the outside world.
He's said to be a bit of a "snuggle bug", so would benefit from a family who would be around for most of the day.
While he walks well on a lead he can be a bit strong on it when he chooses.
Colin would benefit from having a garden with 6ft fencing where he could have a run off lead.
He won't be able to live with another dog or a cat, but could share with primary school-aged children or above.
Ginny
Gender - Female
Age - Six to 12 months old
Breed - Syrian hamster
Colour - Orange
If you want to adopt Ginny you can view their full profile here.
Ginny is described as a "sweet girl that loves to forage for treats, chew on her wooden toys and burrow in her bedding".
She can often be found waiting for her dinner in the evenings and will come to the front of the cage to greet you.
Ginny isn’t fond of handling and may try to jump out of your hands, but that issue should improve over time.
The RSPCA adds: "Ginny will need a minimum of 100cm by 50cm enclosure of unbroken floor space and deep bedding for burrowing (not wood shavings)."

Lewis and Lando
Gender - Male
Age - Seven months old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair
Colour - White/Brown
If you want to adopt Lewis and Lando you can view their full profile here.
Lewis and Lando are described as a "really friendly duo" who are looking to find a home together.
They have plenty of energy to burn off and will make the perfect addition to an active family who will keep them entertained.
With a slow and controlled introduction, Lewis and Lando could possibly live with another cat used to living with kittens with high energy levels.
Additionally, they could share a home with children who would be calm around them.
