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.
Chi Chi
Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Crossbreed/unknown
Colour - Brown and Beige
If you want to adopt Chi Chi you can view their full profile here.
Chi Chi is described as a dog with a lot of energy who is also playful and very friendly.
She has been clean in her kennel and does know some basic commands but would benefit from receiving further basic training.
Although she has shown to get on with other dogs it is felt it would be best for Chi Chi to be the only pet in a new home.
Chi Chi initially came into the care of the RSPCA after being taken to the vet for a possible topical burn or non-treatment of a skin problem.
After several weeks of treatment, she has responded well although the hair may never grow back on the scarred areas, and as a result, she will need to wear suncream daily for the remainder of her life.
Holly
Gender - Female
Age - 13 years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Tortoiseshell
If you want to adopt Holly you can view their full profile here.
Holly came into the care of the RSPCA due to the ill health of her owner and is now looking for a forever home.
She enjoys having a fuss and will jump onto your lap for attention quite often.
The RSPCA adds: "She has always lived as an indoor cat so may not go outside, she would be suitable to stay as an indoor cat or may be happy to live in a quiet area where she can venture out into a secure garden."
Holly could possibly live with another cat given time and space, but not a dog.
Rocket
Gender - Male
Age - Nine years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Tabby
If you want to adopt Rocket you can view their full profile here.
Rocket came into the care of the RSPCA after his owner sadly passed away, and he is now looking for his forever home.
When he first arrived he was very worried but given time to settle he eventually warmed up.
He has lived with a dog before so he may get used to one that has lived with cats before.
Agatha
Gender - Female
Age - Three years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Tabby/White
If you want to adopt Agatha you can view their full profile here.
Agatha came into the care of the RSPCA after she was found living in unsuitable conditions with lots of other cats.
Being from a multi-cat household, Agatha didn't have much human interaction while growing up and because of this, she can be nervous at times.
However, once she gets to know you she will warm up a bit, and accept a belly rub.
She could potentially live with another friendly cat, but not a dog.
Sapphire
Gender - Female
Age - Three to six months old
Breed - Lionhead crossbreed
Colour - White
If you want to adopt Sapphire you can view their full profile here.
Sapphire came into the care of the RSPCA after being found in a property with over 100 rabbits.
She is looking to live with an existing neutered male rabbit and to be gradually introduced to become a bonded pair.
Sapphire can be a little nervous and would appreciate a home that can give her the time and patience to build her confidence.

Milo is a dog who is described as being full of energy and one who also loves meeting new people.
He would like to be the only pet in the home and could live with dog-confident children over the age of 11.
Initially, Milo will require company throughout the day to help him settle and adjust to his new routine, but after that, he should be fine to be left on his own for short periods.
