RSPCA Essex South and Southend Dogs Needing Homes

This lovely 8 month old collie pup is Lila!! Lila is the sweetest little ball of energy who loves everyone and seemingly everyone loves her.

Lila came to us after her first home could no longer care for her needs, unfortunately this involved not going on regular walks, so Lila can quickly become overwhelmed when outside.

Lila is very intelligent and being an active breed she will need lots of physical exercise aswell as mental stimulation every day.
Lila is highly food motivated so positive reward based training should be a fun challenge for her and her new family to take on.
She will need to take things slow at first until she is fully grown and tad more confident being out in the real world.

Lila could live with children over 8 years who are used to bouncy high energy dogs. She could potentially live with another dog pending introduction

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for Lila, then please fill in an application below.

Benjamin has now been in our care for 101 days and has had very little interest. 😔
He is a sensitive soul and needs to find a home where he can settle in at his own pace and his needs of peace and comfort will be understood.
Although it takes a minute for him to warm up to strangers once he’s comfortable around you he is just the best boy and is very loved among all his carers.
Please follow the link https://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/search/details/-/Animal/BENJAMIN/ref/BSA2133567/rehome to read more about him or email [email protected] for more info.

💙 My background:
Hello everyone, my name is Kim! I came into Danaher through no fault of my own and I cannot wait to get back into a warm home to be spoilt by my new family. I am told I am Danaher’s very special golden oldie! ....quite literally with my golden coat!

🐾 My personality:
I am calm and collected and only show my fun and loving side to those who are closest to me and I thrive on spending lots of time with my family who understand and love me the most.

😊 How I feel about people:
I am reserved and relaxed around new people and it takes me time to let you into my heart but once you've found your way in I am extremely loving and loyal!

🐶 How I feel about dogs:
I am non- reactive seeing dogs on my walks, and this is not to be mistaken that I am friendly. I am not a fan of dogs and don't tolerate meeting others so I would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

❤️ What I love:
I love toys and games! I like travelling someone new and exploring new places.

⭐ Training needs:
I might need some reminders about rules and toileting in the home, so please allow me time to learn your routine.

🏠 My dream home:
I would love a quiet home with just me and my owner, no other animals. I would love my own garden to potter about and play in with all my favourite toys, but most of all I would love a warm and cozy spot on the sofa.

Freddie the frenchie is yet another unclaimed stray that has come to us in a sorry state. Even though he is getting stronger by the day and gaining some weight, he is really looking for a home where he can settle in and be pampered as he is quite sad by being in kennels and really needs a warm loving home to fully recover.

Freddie is a sweet little chap and at nearly 8 years old he really just wants an easy pace of life now, he loves going out for his walks and walks lovely by your side. He is a snuggle bunny and just wants a warm settee where he can cosy up with his new family.

He has been friendly with the dogs he has met so far and could potentially share a home with another one. Children in the home should be over the age of 10 years old.

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for Freddie, then please fill in an application below.

Young Talia is hoping to find her forever home soon after spending months at a pound after being found straying and nearly ending up losing her life due to no future placement.
Luckily we found her just in time to take her in and help find her a perfect home.

Being only 1 year and 9 months old Talia is a bundle of energy and has a great zest for life. Talia is a Rottweiler cross and is looking for an energetic family who enjoys training and learning new things as much as she does. She knows many tricks and is generally a very well behaved girl who loves meeting new people and other dogs. But she does pull on her lead and is very strong so needs to practise some loose lead walking, luckily she is very clever and loves a treat so should soon master this.

Talia could live with children over the age of 12 years old who are used to big, bouncy dogs and could possibly live with another dog pending introductions.

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for Talia, then please fill in an application below.

**APPLICATIONS CLOSED***
Thank you to everyone who has applied for Sonny, we will be going through them soon and contact successful applicants.

Little Sonny is nearly old enough to move out in the big world and stand on his own 4 paws. So we are now opening applications ready for him.

Sonny is an adventurous little puppy and would benefit from another friendly dog in the home to show him the ways of the world.

We are unsure of what breed Sonny is, but we think mum Bonnie is a terrier/spaniel/poodle cross (see picture attached) we think Sonny will grow to a medium size.

We are looking for a home that will teach Sonny with positive, reward based training. Ideally take him to puppy classes for training and socialising. Sonny's home should have a garden for toilet training. Children in the home should be over the age of 7 years old.

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for Sonny, then please fill in an application below.
**APPLICATIONS CLOSED**
We are sorry but we cannot take applications on the phone unless you do not have access to the internet.

Adoption fee £395.00 and virtual home visit apply. Sonny is not neutered and will need to return to us at appropriate time to have this done, he is microchipped, will have had his first vaccinated and is worm and flea treated.

Supermum Bonnie is nearly done with her mummy duties as her son, Sonny is on the lookout for his forever home and hopefully soon be leaving the nest. So Bonnie is now looking for her own special and loving forever home.

We do not know much about Bonnie's past. She came to us from another charity we work closely with when Sonny was only one week old. We are unsure how old Bonnie is as her microchip was not registered but we estimate her to be around 3-5 years old. Her breed is a bit of a mystery too, but we are guessing perhaps she has a mixture of spaniel, terrier and poodle in her.

Bonnie loves human company and she will love spending cosy evenings curled up on the sofa having cuddles. She seems to love all adults she comes across but is a bit frightened of young children so she will need a home with no children under 12 years old (and no young visiting children either)

Bonnie can be left for short times, but would be much happier if she gets to participate in all your fun adventures. Bonnie is housetrained, but still learning to walk well on the lead, she loves going out to explore so hopefully with a bit of help she will soon manage to walk nicely too. Bonnie must have a very secure garden as she is a bit of an escape artist.

She gets on well with other dogs and might be able to share her home with another dog, pending successful introductions. She is not able to live with cats

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for Bonnie, then please fill in an application below.

Best boy Benjamin has not had one single application for him and he is so looking forward to finding a loving family and warm home to call his own. There must be someone out there looking for a great companion and snuggle bug just like Ben!

Neutered male, senior at found Hillside Road, Eastwood. He has quite a bad eye injury and we need any owner to come forward ASAP please. He has no collar or microchip so any owner will need to provide proof of ownership. Please call us on 01702 322222 if he is yours or have any information about him.

Edited to add - there has been a lot of concern for this little chap which is lovely. We would like to reassure everyone that he is under the care of the RSPCA and receiving appropriate treatment. His case is unfortunately not black and white, although the eye is the obvious concern, there are a multitude of issues with this boy that need addressing which are not obvious from the picture. Further testing has been done and we are awaiting results before any plans are made. For now he is comfortable on medications and receiving lots of love and food.
It’s been extremely disappointing to read through the negative messages directed towards us this morning assuming the worst of us. Our team will try and not let it affect us too much. We love animals and will try our hardest to help all that walk through the door. However the positive spin on that is that so many people are willing to find help and offer a home, which we know the RSPCA will be greatly appreciative of. All charities are currently struggling for funding and rescue space and so every little bit of help offered will help provide more treatment to save lives in the future.

Meet super mum Bonnie and her little boy Sonnie.
Sonnie is only 4 weeks old so not quite ready to leave the nest yet, but once they have both had their final health check and Sonnie is a bit older they will be looking for their forever homes, so watch this space!!

Like many of our dogs, 5 year old Dogue de Bordeaux, Benjamin has had a rough start in life and came to us as a stray being severely underweight. Having a good appetite and a positive mindset has helped put Benjamin on the right path and he is now ready to find his perfect home.

Having a troubled past has left a few emotional scars on Benjamin and he can get overwhelmed in certain situations. But if he is guided in a calm and positive way he quickly overcomes his anxiety.
His past has not put a damper on his positive outlook on the future or the caring way he feels about his closest friends. Benjamin is kind and loves a cuddle, he will try to sit in your lap if you'll let him.

Benjamin needs slow introductions to new people, as he can be a bit hesitant at first meetings. But he is soon won over with kind words, cuddles and tasty treats. And he will be your friend and loyal forever.

Benjamin would be best suited to a home as the only dog, and with no cats. Children in the home should be over the age of 15 years old.

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for Benjamin, then please fill in an application below.

Mavis and Mabel, our 20 weeks old Dogue de Bordeaux puppies are each looking for separate homes they Mavis and Mabel, our 20 weeks old Dogue de Bordeaux puppies are each looking for separate homes they call their own.
Mavis and Mable unfortunately found themselves in kennels from a very young age, they have been in foster care for the last few weeks and are learning the ways of the real world. Some of the pictures below are from their puppy training classes, where they are getting on great with their positive reward based training, and socialising with other dogs.
They are adventurous and eager to learn and super cuddly and snuggly!

We are looking for two separate homes for Mabel and Mavis.

Homes must have a garden to help with housetraining, another calm dog in the home to show Mable and Mavis the ropes would be great but not a must.
Children in the home should be over the age of 8 and used to larger breeds of dogs.
Experience with large breed dogs would be beneficial.

If you think you might have the perfect home to offer for either Mavis or Mabel, then please fill in an application below.

Louie has come to us very scared and is looking for a foster home WITH THE VIEW TO ADOPT.

We have found that Louie gets a lot of confidence from dogs of a similar size and we would love to find him that suitable companion who has a playful side but is also happy to leave Louie be when he feels a little overwhelmed.

Louie will need a quite a patient home that is happy to work on his confidence, ideally a home that has had some experience with Louie's breed and his temperament. He needs plenty of slow approaches but we feel the best thing for him is to find him that right home that will slowly allow him to come out of his shell.

Please apply for Louie directly with Danaher https://danaheranimalhome.org.uk/dogs/30656/louie

Betty with her big soulful eyes is hoping she can soon find a home with a loving family and a warm soft sofa for her to stretch her long legs on.

Betty is a sweet and gentle 4 year old lurcher. She greets everyone in a kind and welcoming way and loves cuddles on the sofa. Betty enjoys long walks in the countryside or a nice stroll through the woods. If you have a ball and an offer of a game of fetch, (yes she does bring the ball back to you!) then Betty will be your best friend forever.

She gets on great with other dogs and could possibly share her new home with one pending successful introduction. Betty cannot live with cats. Being a sighthound Betty does have a prey drive and would need to be kept on a long lead when out in public, she would benefit from her own private garden where she can have some of lead time and practise her ball catching skills. Betty can live with children over the age of 8 years old, she travels well in the car and is housetrained.

Meet Barney, this handsome chap, is yet another dog who has come to us with no history, no microchip and was severely underweight. But despite all this he is in high spirits and hopeful that he will soon find a loving family to call his own.

If you are looking for a great companion, someone who will make you laugh with their quirky ways and give you unconditional love. Then look no further, Barney might be the perfect guy for you!

Barney could potentially live with another dog pending successful introductions. He could live with children over the age of 10 years old. But no cats in the home please. He is housetrained and travels well in the car.
