Eight-month-old Daisy is an XL Bully who came to the centre after her last home became overrun with other animals. The RSPCA said she was living in "filthy conditions" and was "underweight and unsocialised". Since being at the centre she has grown in confidence massively. Affectionate Daisy would suit a family with kids who are 16-years-old and up, and dog savvy. She would need to be the only dog in the family.

Two-year-old Boxer Rockie was sadly abandoned by his previous owner, which meant he was left to go hungry and lost lots of weight. But he has enjoyed his time since moving into the centre. He can be strong on the lead, but is learning to be more gentle. He'd need a family that would be keen to continue his training. He loves canine company, but would need to be the only dog in the home.

This quintuple of fluffy kittens were found by a member of the public with their mum and they were brought to the safety with the team at the RSPCA. Volunteers have since landed them the perfect foster home, where they can burn off their energy as they run around the house. Kenickie, who is black and white with a moustache, is always on the lookout for the next toy to play with, whereas black and white Danny is more relaxed watching the world go by. Trio is smart and inquisitive, while black and white Rizzo is feisty and loves to wrestle. Last but not least, white and ginger Sandy loves a nap. The kittens would love to be adopted in pairs. As they are still young, their new family would need to be around a lot to keep them entertained and teach them about the great outdoors when they are a little older.
