The Peterborough Telegraph is running regular spotlights on animals that need new homes to support the work of animal charities in the Peterborough area.
This week the spotlight is on all kinds of four-legged friends: cats, dogs and rabbits. The Peterborough and District Branch of the RSPCA do so much to rescue, nurture and subsequently rehome animals in the area. They have continued to operate throughout lockdown and within a small radius are still permitted to rehome these animals.
Below are a selection of those that have been rescued and are in need of their forever home.
To find more details on each dog and to search for more rescue animals, visit www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/rehomeapet/process.
The RSPCA are funded entirely by public donations and receive no government money and therefore rely on the generosity of the public. Anyone wishing to support their work do so via www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/donate
If you are interested in rehoming one of these gorgeous dogs, you can fill in an online application form on their website.

This is Ginger! She arrived at the centre very under weight. After having some TLC she is now healthy enought to find her forever home. Ginger is a very curious girl so does always like to know what you are up to. However, she can be a little wary when apporached. She can always be won over by hand feeding her a nice tasty carrot. As she is lion head x she does require grooming regulaly in order to prevent matts. Ginger was't initially very confident when being handled but has become much better since being with us here at Block Fen. We are looking for Ginger now spend the better half of her life with a male rabbit. We think she would make a great addtion to a family due to her sweet nature. Photo: Midlands

Honey is a lovely cat and was much loved by her previous owner who has passed away. Just to begin with she stands up for herself but, once she knows you, all this disappears and she's very affectionate and vocal. She stands up on her hind legs for attention and likes being made a fuss of. She has come from a quiet adult only home and we are looking for a similar home for her with no other pets - she doesn't like other cats and we think she'd be best not living with a dog. Honey is a beautiful cat and will make a delightful pet for a new loving owner. Photo: Midlands

Hopscotch was born here at the centre along with his two other siblings. Due to a failed bonding he has been returned to us here at Block Fen to give it another try with a better suited female bunny. Hopscotch is a very sweet and curious boy. He is always interested in what you are up to. He espically gets very curious when he knows breakfast is coming! He does'nt mind having a gentle stroke on te head and has no issues with being picked up and handled. He favioute thing to do is to sit ontop of his cardboard box watching the world go by. We are looking for Hopscotch to go to a home with a female rabbit with a nice large run so he can binky to his hearts content. He would make a wonderful addition to a family. Photo: Midlands

We are looking for people experienced with cats to adopt Luxor. He is a nervous boy, and is particularly nervous of hand movements. But he does enjoy a fuss, and he purrs and is a very loving cat. Luxor is good-natured and loving but something in his past has made him nervous of hands. So he needs patient owners who can help him become less worried and allow him to express his affectionate nature more freely. We think he will do best in an adult only home with no children or other pets. He will need to be kept indoors for three or four months so that he can become really relaxed in his new home with kind and gentle people Photo: Midlands
