If you’re thinking about welcoming a dog into your home, why not consider rescuing?
These canines 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.
For more information about each of the pups listed below, visit: https://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet.
17. Leon - seven-year-old French Bulldog
Leon is a shy boy to begin with and can be a little worried when meeting new people. Once he has made friends with you he is an affectionate, happy boy who enjoys attention. Leon is housetrained, knows how to sit and is used to being left for a few hours on his own. He loves to play with toys and have a cuddle. Leon is looking for an experienced, adult home with someone who has dealt with behavioural problems before and is willing to work with Leon with support from the charity's behaviourist. He cannot live with children or have any visiting children and will need his own, secure garden. Photo: RSPCA
18. Spencer - one-year-old Whippet cross
Spencer is a friendly, lively boy who was a little shy on arrival but soon became the bouncy, confident boy he is now. He will need a little training and an active owner who can keep up with him and stop him from becoming bored. The RSPCA said Spencer has been good with other dogs while in the charity's care, and he may be able to live with another dog in his new home after successful introductions. Spencer is a new arrival who is still being assessed at the moment. Photo: RSPCA
19. Arthur - eight-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux
Arthur is a sensitive chap who can be a bit overwhelmed in new situations. Once he has met you he is a friendly, affectionate, cuddly boy who, despite his size, likes to try and sit on your lap. Arthur enjoys his treats and would rather play with you than a toy. He is very clean in his kennel so is housetrained and walks nicely on the lead. Arthur definitely prefers the company of people to other dogs and does not like them invading his space. He will need his own garden to chill out in. He is looking for a quiet, calm life so would prefer an adult only home. Photo: RSPCA
20. Sadie - three-year-old Collie cross
Sadie was removed from a hoarding situation with about 200 other dogs in her previous home, according to the RSPCA. Due to her background, she is a nervous girl who is quite independent, and is looking for a specific home. The charity said she needs a quiet household without children or lots of people coming and going. She will need a familiar routine and walks in places that are not busy with lots of other dogs. She will also need a very secure garden and any fences need to be 6ft high. She can be quite reactive to other dogs when out on walks, the charity added, so any new owner will need to be prepared to put lots of time into her training. Photo: RSPCA
