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.

Age – Three to six months old
Breed – Dogue de Bordeaux
Colour – Chestnut
If you want to adopt Wilma you can view their full profile here.
Wilma is an “adventurous” puppy who has been in kennels from a very young age and has not experienced much of the outside world.
However, she is eager to learn and any new home she would go to would need a garden to help her with her housetraining.
Wilma would benefit from having another calm dog around to show her the ropes but it is not a necessity.
Any children in the home should be over the age of eight and be used to larger breeds of dogs.
