Essex RSPCA: 5 pets who are on the lookout for new homes

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 the charities and help them carry on their rescue work at the same websites.

Odette is a dog who is described as an "affectionate companion that would bring a great deal of joy to any family".

She is quite "sociable" so would be fine to be in a "bustling family environment" with young children.

Odette could also share a house with another dog and potentially even a cat depending on the circumstances.

Joker is described as "a bit of a character" who has plenty of wisdom but also a lot of energy.

Danaher Animal Home adds: "In short, taking Joker home won't just make him lucky; you'll be the lucky ones. He'll hop into your life with all his quirks and heart, ready to be a part of your family. So what d'you say? Ready to meet your new best mate?"
