The pooches listed below are currently in care at the RSPCA, which has branches in Chichester and Brighton.
Adoption fees vary between the branches, though both fees include neutering, vaccinations, microchips, flea treatments and worming.

1. Chubbs - nine-year-old Chihuahua
Chubbs may be tiny, but he has a big personality. The RSPCA said the more time you spend getting to know him, the more you’ll see his sweet and affectionate side shine through. When Chubs first arrived at the centre, he was feeling very worried about the world around him, but he has made wonderful progress and has since made lots of friends, including some canine companions! Chubbs is now looking for a calm, loving home with patient adopters who understand that he needs time to settle in and experience new things at his own pace. He can still find the world a little overwhelming, so his new family will need to continue his training using positive reinforcement to help build his confidence, particularly when out and about. With understanding, patience and plenty of love, Chubs has so much potential to blossom into a happy and confident little companion. Photo: RSPCA
2. Loki - four-year-old Bully cross Staffie
Loki is a very friendly boy who enjoys attention. He knows how to sit and walks well on the lead. He enjoys going out and about and needs a fair amount of exercise to stop him from becoming bored in the house, according to the RSPCA. Loki will be assessed with other dogs while at the shelter. He will be looking for a home with bull breed experience. Photo: RSPCA
3. Shelby and Paddy - Whippet-cross puppies
Shelby and Paddy are both nervous and need separate homes due to their individual needs. They will need lots of positive rewards to build up their confidence, and their adopters will need to help them learn that the world isn't scary. They're seeking adopters who can show them lots of love and teach them the basics. Photo: RSPCA
4. Frankfurter - seven-year-old Terrier cross
Frankfurter is a friendly boy who can be a little shy at first, especially with men. The RSPCA said he hadn't been walked recently in his previous home due to the declining health of his owner, so he needs to build up his fitness again. He does enjoy going out and walks well on the lead. He will also need a reminder with housetraining. Photo: RSPCA
