The RSPCA is caring for lots of adorable dogs – all of whom are hoping for a second chance at happiness.
If you’re considering getting a dog, why not opt for a rescue?
The RSPCA has branches in Brighton and Chichester.

1. Lola - seven-year-old Jack Russell
Lola is a very calm, sweet-natured, affectionate dog who would love to go to a relaxed home. Her favourite thing in the world is food and she will do anything for a treat! She doesn’t like to be left alone for long so would much rather accompany you on your daily endeavours. She’s a very good pub dog, according to her foster carer. Lola will happily snuggle up with you for hours and demand a belly rub. She also loves a long walk, but would rather stay out of the cold and rain. Lola could live with children aged 10 or older and needs to be the only dog in the home. Photo: RSPCA
2. Ayla - three-year-old Terrier cross
Ayla is a wonderful little dog with lots of personality, according to her RSPCA foster carer. She can be very cautious at first, but once trust has been established, her affectionate and playful side will win you over. She loves nothing more than long walks, and is especially fond of the seafront. At home, Ayla loves to curl up on the sofa, and will push her way under pillows and throws. She would be perfect for someone who works from home, or is retired, and wants the constant loving affection Ayla gives. She is looking for an experienced, adult-only home and needs to be the only pet. Photo: RSPCA
3. Buddy - two-year-old German Shepherd
Buddy is a 'very friendly and dopey boy who is a smart cookie', according to the RSPCA. He loves to learn and the best way to his heart is snacks. He has made lots of friends at the RSPCA centre, according to the charity. Buddy is a young dog who will need good exercise and training. He is strong on the lead and will need someone who can confidently walk him. The charity is looking for a family who will love his goofy nature and can support him with his training. Photo: RSPCA
4. Snoopy - one-year-old Chihuahua cross Jack Russell
Snoopy is deaf and partially sighted. Because of this Snoopy relies very much on his sense of smell and it takes him time to get to know new people. He can be wary and vocal with anyone new and can get spooked easily in unfamiliar situations, according to the RSPCA. He is looking for an experienced owner and a quiet, adult-only home environment with someone prepared to take things at his pace. Once Snoopy has bonded with you he is a very happy, enthusiastic boy who enjoys his walks and likes to play with toys. Snoopy enjoys the company of other dogs and has quite a few canine friends at the shelter. He needs to go to a home where there is already a resident dog who would enjoy having a companion and help guide him in his new home. Photo: RSPCA
