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.
Nala
Age - Three years old
Breed - Terrier crpssbreed
Colour - Brindle, Brown and White
If you want to adopt Nala you can view their full profile here.
Nala is a "vibrant and playful" dog who is looking to find her forever home with an active owner.
She enjoys running around, especially in a secure garden and would benefit from access to an enclosed dog field for off-lead playtime.
Despite being quite lively she is a "sensitive soul" due to a difficult start in life.
She can be a bit wary when meeting new people, especially men, but once she trusts you she will open up.
Nala is ideally looking for a quiet, adult-only home with a structured routine, where she can feel comfortable and relaxed.
The RSPCA adds: "She arrived with a skin condition that has improved with treatment, though she may need further care. Our team will be happy to provide all the details to help her stay healthy and comfortable."
Thomas
Age - Three years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - White and Black
If you want to adopt Thomas you can view their full profile here.
Thomas is a cat who can be a little shy when meeting new people but becomes very affectionate once he gets to know someone.
He is extremely playful, and can often be seen running around his yard and playing with his toys
Alongside that, he is an inquisitive cat so will need regular enrichment and play.
Thomas did not have the opportunity to go outside and explore his surroundings in his previous home so is not used to roads or the outside world.
Therefore, he ideally needs to go to a home in a quiet area which is not near busy roads.
He could live with older teenagers who are calm and gentle around cats, as well as potentially another friendly cat.
Daisy
Age - Six to 12 months old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black and White
If you want to adopt Daisy you can view their full profile here.

She is very curious and loves her food and treats which helps to gain her trust.
The RSPCA adds: "Daisy did show signs of stress initially when housed with another cat in the cattery, therefore Daisy is to be the only cat in the household.
"Daisy hasn't had access to the outside world and will need to settle into her home before having access to the outdoors."
She could live with children of secondary school age who are gentle and calm around cats.
Misty
