Some of the dogs pictured are in care at RSPCA branches in neighbouring counties, but can be rehomed in Sussex. For more information, and to find out more about adopting one of the adorable dogs, visit the rescueโs website.
During his time at the RSPCA, Ralph has matured from a worried adolescent into a big, cheeky, young adult. He is a very clever boy who loves to learn new things but still has his daft, clumsy moments. He knows many commands, such as: sit, down, paw, spin, speak, stay, come, leave, here, kisses and his name. Ralph is very wary of strangers and needs gentle, slow introductions when meeting new people. However, once you have gained his trust he becomes a big, soppy, cuddly boy! He will ideally need to be the only pet in the home but, depending on the circumstances, the RSPCA may consider him living with a large female dog. Ralph requires a quiet, adult-only home with a large garden abd an owner experienced with large bull breeds. Photo: RSPCA
38. Luna - one year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed
Luna is a fun and energetic Stafforshire Bull Terrier Cross whose owner's change in circumstances meant they were no longer able to care for her. She gets on well with other dogs but has a typical bull breed play style, in addition to other traits of the breed, so people with a good understanding/experience of Staffies or Bulldogs is essential. Luna loves to learn and is very bright, so would benefit from a dog hobby such as scent work or trick training to keep her busy brain happy. She could potentially live with another dog if they are a good match and requires an adult-only home with adopters who can be around most of the day. Luna can be quite nervous meeting new people so multiple trips to the centre will be essential to build a trusting bond before she goes home. RSPCA said Luna is a lovely girl and would fill someone's heart with love and joy. Photo: RSPCA
39. Tia - three years old
Tia previously lived in a home with multiple dogs, where she found it hard to relax, so she is now looking for a home without any other pets. However, she loves her human friends and, while she can be a little nervous of new people, she warms up very quickly and seeks comfort from her people. Tia walks well on a harness, but she can be a little nervous when there are loud noises or itโs windy. The staff have already seen her confidence growing and she is becoming braver each day. Her new owners will need to take things slow and give Tia lots of reassurance when out on walks. Tia needs a secure garden as she sometimes doesnโt toilet on walks as she can find them overwhelming. Tia is in care near Sussex at the RSPCA's Stubbington Ark branch. Photo: RSPCA
40. Lolly - eight year old Pug cross Italian Greyhound
Lolly is an eight year old Pug x Italian greyhound. The team at RSPCA said Lolly's 'bubbly' and 'fun' personality has stolen all of their hearts. Lolly's past has left her with an anxious temperament and, due to this, she will need a quiet home away from main cities and towns. It will be important that potential adopters are able to commit to Lolly's ongoing training needs and can make many trips to the centre. Lolly is very food motivated which the RSPCA team said makes training lots of fun. She knows lots of cues and the list is growing daily! Lolly has been seen to be dog reactive so it would be beneficial for adopters to previously have experience with reactive dogs or be willing to learn from the team. Lolly will require her own garden, no other pets in her home and any members of her family must be aged over 18. Photo: RSPCA
