Several pets in Dorset are looking for their forever homes, including at the Ashley Heath Animal Centre.
Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.
A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.
To help the Ashley Heath Animal Centre carry on their work you can donate to their website here.
Cisco
Gender - Male
Age - Four years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Tabby
If you want to adopt Cisco you can view their full profile here.
Cisco came into the care of the RSPCA as an injured stray and is now looking to find a new home.
He had to have part of his tail amputated before coming to Ashley Heath so can be a bit sensitive around the back end.
Cisco may be able to live with another cat, given time and space to get to know each other, but couldn't share a house with a dog.
Bruno
Gender - Male
Age - 10 years old
Breed - Boxer
Colour - Brindle and White
If you want to adopt Bruno you can view their full profile here.
Bruno is described as a "senior gentleman with a youthful spirit" and is in search of a peaceful retirement home.
He may appear reserved initially, especially when meeting new people, as he appreciates a hands-off approach.
Bruno values patience from those around him, preferring to initiate contact on his terms.
The RSPCA adds: "Experienced individuals familiar with boxer dogs or with managing arthritic changes in dogs would be well-suited to provide Bruno with the care and companionship he deserves."
George
Gender - Male
Age - Five years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Tabby/White
If you want to adopt George you can view their full profile here.
George came to Ashley Heath after being removed from a large multi-cat household and he is now ready to find a new home.
He will need understanding owners to help him settle in as he is quite nervous around people.
It would be best for him to have his own room before being introduced to the rest of the house.
George will also need to be the only pet in the home and not live with any children.
Harry
Gender - Male
Age - Three years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Harry you can view their full profile here.
Harry came to Ashley Heath after he was found living in a house with over 80 other cats.
He was nervous and worried at first but has shown that he can enjoy human interaction.
Harry will need extra time indoors to get settled in and get used to his surroundings before being allowed to go outside exploring.
The RSPCA states that he needs to be rehomed as an only pet and that he might be okay sharing a house with children who are aged 10 and over.
Bluey
Gender - Male
Age - Nine years old
Breed - Husky (Siberian)
Colour - Grey/White
If you want to adopt Bluey you can view their full profile here.
Bluey is described as being "sociable" with other dogs and when meeting new people.
He knows some basic commands and although generally walks reasonably well on the lead, he can be strong at times.
The RSPCA adds: "Bluey is looking for a home where he will have access to a garden to enjoy laying in the sunshine.
"After his assessment here we feel he may be ok to live with dog-confident children 16 years+ but cannot live with cats."

Smokey
Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Lionhead Lop
Colour - Grey
If you want to adopt Smokey you can view their full profile here.
Smokey is a rabbit who is looking for a home with an existing neutered male rabbit to gradually introduce her to and become a bonded pair.
She came into the care of the RSPCA as her welfare needs were not being met, and was initially underweight but is now progressing well.
The RSPCA adds: "If you are interested in adopting a rabbit from RSPCA Ashley Heath you would need to have accommodation already in place. A pair of rabbits will require unrestricted access to a space measuring 6ft by 10ft, totalling 60 square feet."
