Midnight came into the shelter from our London branch, he was taken in there as his previous owners had too many rabbits. He is about 5 months old and we have neutered, vaccinated and microchipped him.
Midnight has a big character and personality. He is cheeky and very lively, we are looking for a lively home for Midnight, he can live inside or outside in a suitable environment. He will need a secure space to exercise in and he has alot of energy. He will need to go with a neutered female rabbit for company but the owners must be experienced in bonding lively rabbits. He has only just been neutered so we are hoping he will calm down a bit soon. He could live with older children who are used to rabbits.
Welcome to the Sussex Brighton and East Grinstead Branch of the RSPCA. We are an entirely self-funding charity, run by an active committee of volunteers who are trustees of the Branch funds. The Branch is responsible for the Brighton Animal Shelter at Patcham.
Over 3000 animals are cared for at the Shelter each year, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, chickens, ferrets and various birds, both wild and domestic. Facilities are available for almost every animal until it is ready for
re-homing or release. Please take a look at all the animals that currently need re-homing, as well as lots more information on boarding, donating, events, volunteering, and lots more!

Frank was brought in by an inspector from a home with too many cats. He is a very shy little boy who will need time and patience to settle down in a new home. He would possibly live with another cat, but unfortunately needs a home without children. Photo to come.

Bubbles and Buddy came on in the 31st of December along with two other dogs after their owner sadly passed away.
They are both friendly, affectionate boys although Buddy (the pug) can be a little shy at first. They know their names on command, are housetrained, good when groomed and Bubbles loves to play fetch with a ball. They are both on diets and are becoming fitter by the day!
Bubbles and Buddy are ok with other dogs once they have met them but can both be a bit scared of larger ones. They could live with confident cats who are used to dogs.
They could live with children 10 years or older who are used to dogs.
BUBBLES AND BUDDY WILL ONLY BE HOMED AS A PAIR.

Charlie and Shiloh came to us because the owner was moving and unable to take them. They are sisters who seem to get on well. They are often curled up together. Both cats are a little shy at first, and not too keen on lots of noise, so a home without young children would possibly be best for them. More info to come.

Becks came into the shelter via our London branch. She was taken in for rehoming as her previous owner could no longer keep her. She is 7 years old, we have neutered, vaccinated and mircochipped her.
Becks is looking for an experienced home, she has not been handled much so is wary of people. We can now get her to take treats from us and be stroked. She is not great at being picked up. Becks can be very lively and knows how to use her cat flap, she goes in and out well. We would like her to live with a neutered male rabbit for company but her new owners must be experienced in bonding. We would also consider Becks going to live on her own as a house rabbit inside with people for company. We do not know her past and if she has never lived with another rabbit there is a chance she will not bond due to her age. She would like a quiet home with older children or an adult only home

They are friendly, happy little dogs who know their names on command, are ok when groomed, housetrained and like to play fetch with a ball. Diva is Rocky's mum so we will be looking for a home where they can stay together.
Diva and Rocky are new arrivals who are still being assessed.

Dixie came in on the 7th of January as her previous owner could not cope.
She is a friendly, lively pup who knows sit, down, paw, leave, stay, come and her name on command, is housetrained and loves to play with toys. Dixie can be a little strong on the lead so would benefit from further training and needs an active owner.
She is good with other dogs but has not been tested with cats yet.
Dixie is a new arrival who is still being assessed.

Harry is sociable and playful with other dogs but has not been tested with cats yet.

Harry is a new arrival who is still being assessed.

Luna and spot are sisters who came in from a multi cat household. Both cats are very nervous and shy. They will need time and patience to help them settle and trust you. Needs to be a calm home and someone who doesn’t mind the fact they will need to stay indoors a long while before being confident enough go out.

Roger came in after his owner sadly passed away.
He is a sweet, affectionate boy once he knows you although can be a little shy at first. Roger knows sit and his name on command, is housetrained, enjoys being groomed and loves a good neck scratch! He likes playing with toys, especially soft ones and is ok when left on his own for a few hours after he has been exercised.
Roger is ok with other dogs when walked although may be best as the only dog in the home so he can have all the attention to himself!
He can get a little mouthy when over excited to greet you so can only live with children 12 years or older who are used to dogs.

Rosie and Jim came into the shelter as their owner had too many animals. Our inspectors were called and we are helping to rehome them. Rosie and Jim are dwarf albino rabbits. They are about 3 years old and have both been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. It is very hard to tell them apart from looking ta them but Rosie is very slightly bigger than Jim.
We are looking to rehome them together. When they came in their feet and legs were covered in dirt from their hutch. We have cleaned them up now and they now have white feet and toes. They are a nice pair but are not used to too much interaction with people. Rosie will grunt a bit but is not nasty and will take treats from you. She is more confident than Jim. They can be picked up but would prefer not to be. They can be housed inside or out to suitable environments. They will need a run area inside or a run on the grass outside. They would be better with older children just because they can grunt a bit!

Stephanie came in on the 19th of December from another RSPCA Centre. She was an unclaimed stray.
Stephanie is a sweet, loving girl who can be shy of new people at first but once she has made friends with you she enjoys fuss and attention. She is ok when groomed and is learning to play with toys but will need basic training, including housetraining.
Stephanie is ok with other dogs once she has got to know them but can be frightened and a little vocal at first. She is learning to socialise well but will need a confident owner to continue this.
Stephanie needs a home without cats or small animals. She could live with children 8 years or older who are used to dogs.

Holly came in on the 19th of December as her owner was no longer able to look after her.
She is a bouncy, affectionate girl who can be a little shy at first but craves attention once she knows you. Holly knows sit, paw and her name on command and likes to play with toys, especially a ball or squeaky. She is an active, energetic girl who loves her walks but can be quite strong on the lead and would benefit from further training.
Holly is ok with other dogs as long as they don't pester her too much! She would prefer to be the only dog in the home so that she can have all the attention and love for herself! She needs a home without cats.
Holly is a lovely girl who is looking for a home where she will not be left on her own for too long. She could live with children 10 years or older who are used to dogs.

Whiskey is a lovely girl who has unfortunately been returned to us recently.
She is very affectionate and loves a fuss and cuddle. Whiskey knows sit, down, paw and her name on command, is housetrained, good when groomed, enjoys her walks and loves to play with toys, especially a rope and ball.
She is friendly with most other dogs after a good introduction but would prefer a home on her own so she can have all the attention to herself! She needs a home without cats or small animals.
Whiskey is very food orientated so can be a little snatchy. She is looking for an adult only home preferably with someone who has experience with bull breeds.
She can often be seen in the office at the shelter helping the reception staff.

Monty came in for rehoming from our slough branch, he was found in a garden as a stray. He is about 2 years old and has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped in slough.
We are looking for a lively home for Monty, he is very cheeky and into everything. He is slightly larger than average size about 2.5kg, so he needs to live outside in a shed type set up or a wendy house, with a large run and possibly an opportunity to go loose in the garden to let off steam. He is very friendly but a bit too keen and will knock things out of his way for food or treats. He will need a spayed female rabbit for company.

Annie came in to the shelter from our Harmsworth branch in London. She was taken in as a stray with a very nasty collar injury. Her leg was stuck through the collar. It was not a safety collar. The vets tried very hard to keep the leg but the infection was just too nasty and was not responding to medication. So she had to have her front right leg removed.
We are looking for an active household for Annie, she is a busy cat and even though she only has three legs she is very agile and fast on her feet. She can run, jump and climb. She would love to have a garden for her to explore. We think it would be best if the children were no younger than teenagers, or children with alot of cat experience. Unfortunately due to Annie being a stray she is food obsessed and gets fed in a slow feeder here as she bolts her food too quickly. In time this will slow down and she will know she is getting regular meals but it may start again in a new home so the new owners need to know not to leave any food ...

Sidney came into the shelter as he was taken into the vets as a stray. We think he is about 1-2 years old, he has small ears so we think he is a dwarf crossbreed. We have neutered, vaccinated and microchipped him.
Sidney is a very shy rabbit and is easily spooked. We feel he would benefit from a home with a friendly spayed female rabbit to gain his trust in people. He would be better an adult home. He is coming round nicely here and will let us stroke him and take curly kale from our hands.

Nibbles and Dotty came in for rehoming as they were not happy living with young children. They are 4 year old sister's. They have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Nibbles has the white stripe down her nose and Dotty has the white dot nose.
They are a sweet pair, not used to too much handling but they can be picked up. They like to come over to see if we are putting any tasty treats in their bowl. They like curly kale the best but will be noisy at anything coming their way.
We are looking for a home with older children possibly teenager age or an adult home. They are not over confident so will need a patient owner who can gain their trust and get them to come out of their shell's

Chas and Dave where actually born at the shelter. We went into a home a removed 16 guinea pigs, some where pregnant and some had, had babies. These two were born to different mums but have grown up together. Chas is brown/tan/white and was born 18/8/19. Dave white/tan/brown and was born 24/7/19.
We are looking for a home for them together, they are both male and are not neutered. We are looking for a home where they can be outside in the summer and inside in the winter. Or they could live inside and have access daily to an exercise area inside. They love food and greens time. They do squeak but only for kale!! They have been handled here by the staff but are not overly confident with strangers so a home without very young children may be better for them.

Akira has been with us in our special care unit since the beginning of March. She came in via an Inspector and was extremely malnourished on arrival. After lots of veterinary investigations we have got to the bottom of why she was so skinny. Akira has digestive issues linked to her pancreas, this means she has to stay on a specific diet and will be on an enzyme supplement in her food for life. She has now gained lots of weight, is feeling 100 times better and is ready to look for a new home.
Akira is a friendly, boisterous girl who still very much behaves like an adolescent! She knows sit and her name and will give both paws but will need further training. Akira enjoys her walks and has recently started wearing a halti to help her walk nicely!
She needs a home without cats, birds or small furry animals and will need to continue her socialisation skills with other dogs as she has missed out on so much as a pup.
Akira is looking for a family who are experienced with big dogs as she does like to try and push the boundaries! She is a bouncy, playful girl now that ...
