Here is a selection of animals from the RSPCA branches and the affiliated Danaher Animal House who are looking for a forever home.

There are some animals from the Essex South Southend & District branch and the Danaher Animal House.

If you think you would be able to rehome one of them go to either the Essex South Southend & District website or the Danaher Animal House website for details.

You can also donate to the charities to help it carry on its rescue work at the same websites.

Lacey

Echo: Lacey (RSPCA)Lacey (RSPCA)

Gender – Female

Age – Five years old (approx.)

Breed – Dachshund

Colour – White and tan

Lacey has not lived in a proper home before, so will need to go back to basics with a reward-based training method, learning simple things such as walking on a lead and how to be toilet trained.

She is looking for a home where her adopters are around most of the time to help her settle in, there is direct access to a private garden, and that any children in the home are of secondary school age.

It would also be helpful to be familiar with the Dachshund breed, as 25 per cent of them develop Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD).
