The Peterborough Telegraph is running regular spotlights on animals that need new homes to support the work of animal charities in the Peterborough area.
There are many that do such a great job of rescuing and rehoming animals, such as the Peterborough and District Branch of the RSPCA and Wood Green The Animals Charity. Both have continued to operate throughout lockdown and within a small radius are still permitted to rehome these animals.
Below are a selection of those animals that are less common and smaller but no less rewarding to have as pets and are in need of their forever home.
To find more details about the birds and to search for more rescue animals, visit www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/rehomeapet/process or to enquire about any of the other animals visit woodgreen.org.uk/find-a-pet/find-an-outdoor-pet.
9. Teddy (2 months)
Teddy and her 5 other female friends are looking for their forever home, either as a larger group together or as a trio. They all love to have lots to explore such as tubes and toys. They also like having some where safe and snuggly to sleep together. Photo: Midlands
10. Thelma and Louise - Rex (1 year)
Meet the beautiful duo that is Thelma and Louise. After coming to us through no fault of their own, these friendly ladies can't wait to find their forever home. Although shy to begin with, this pair have grown up withchildren and are looking for a new family to call their own. Photo: Midlands
11. Teddy and Albert (0-3 months)
Teddy and Albert are a fun loving pair of baby Guinea pigs looking for a home together. They were born in a foster home and so have always lived indoors. They are loving brothers and like each others company, they like to talk (wheek) to you and would make a great addition to any family. As they are boys (and boys being boys) they will be issued with neutering vouchers on the day of adoption- neutering the boys at around 4 months of age helps them to stay friends and stops any falling out.

12. Sasha - Budgerigar (1 year)
Sasha is a female budgie who was found as a stray. She was suffering from a severe mite infestation which resulted in crusts all over her face, and also had a deformed and misaligned beak. Our vet has reshaped her beak and we have treated her for parasites, but due to the abnormal shape of the beak preventing it from wearing down properly, it will require regular veterinary visits to trim and reshape it.
