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

There are some animals from the Essex South, Southend & District branch, the South West branch and the 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 website for details.

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

Countess

Gender - Female

Age - Four years old

Breed - Foxhound

Colour - Tan, white and black

Countess is a dog who came into the RSPCA's care without much history and is now looking for her forever home.

The RSPCA thinks that she has not lived in a home before so she may need time and patience to get used to many new things including housetraining, wearing a lead and the many sounds and smells that home life brings.

She could potentially live with another dog, but would also probably benefit from being the only pet in the home.

Gender - Female

Age - One-year-old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Black

Cookie is a cat who has spent most of her life so far in a very volatile household so will need a calm home where she can rebuild her confidence.

Despite the circumstances she has remained a very loving and sweet cat who the RSPCA say would make a "wonderful companion" for anyone.

She could live with children of secondary school age, would need to be able to go outside and would love company around for most of the day.
