The pet charity homes the animals, all who arrived for various reasons, at a centre in East Ardsley. Regardless of how they end up there, the animals are cared for until a new home can be found. The RSPCA also offers advice to people who already own pets but may be struggling to cope with the cost of food or healthcare.
Here are all the cats and dogs currently being cared for at the centre that are looking for a new forever home. More information can be found on the RSPCA website.

2. Charlie

3. Ebony
One-year-old Ebony was brought to the centre after she was found abandoned in a cat carrier in some bushes with only a tea towel for comfort. She had fleas, was underweight and had fur loss around her neck which suggested she had been wearing a very tight collar for some time. But after care at the centre, her confidence and her fur is growing back. She would suit an experienced family who can continue to help her confidence grow and give her plenty of time to settle in.

4. Jill
Three-year-old German Shepherd used to live on an allotment without shelter but, since coming to the centre, she has started to trust people again. She gets excited when she sees volunteers getting ready to take her out and is always well behaved on walks. She would suit an adult household, or one with older and dog-savvy children. Her new family should be prepared to give her time and patience to settle in. Photo by RSPCA
5. Missy
Missy is a four-month-old Akita x Mastiff and has been described as an "energetic whirlwind" by volunteers at the rescue centre. When she first arrived, she was very nervous and used to hide in a corner. But she soon learnt to trust the team and is now a bouncy and playful pup. She is expected to grow into a large dog when she is older, so her new family would need to take this into consideration - as well as giving her time to learn and become confident around new people.
