From the confident to those that need a caring and patient home environment, these rescue animals are in search of their forever home.
Dogs, rabbits, cats, ferrets and more have been brought into the RSPCA Ipswich and East Suffolk team, which has shared the loving personalities of some of the current furry occupants.
Dogs
Cody
Cody or "curious Cody" as he is called by members of staff at the branch is still looking for his forever home.
He was transferred to the branch from another RSPCA centre on behaviour grounds.
He is looking for experienced adopters who would enjoy continuing his ongoing reward-based training.
Cody would best suit a quiet, low populated area where there are fewer passing vehicles, people and dogs.

Wespe
Wespe was bbrought into the care of the RSPCA via an inspector, due to welfare concerns in her previous home.

Described by members of staff as a "sweet girl" Wespe is looking for a quiet household in a rural area, with people with older children and no other pets.
Future owners would ideally have previous dog experiences and should be willing to continue her reward-based training.
Wespe is reactive to other dogs and has also demonstrated some undesirable behaviours around doorways, which might need further management and training in the home.

Bella
Bella, or Bouncy Bella as she is known at the RSCPA shelter, is still looking for her forever home after she was brought into care when her previous owners could no longer look after her.
The RSPCA website states: "Bella has had ongoing skin, ear and eye issues prior to and in our care, which is typical of her breed.
"This is something her future adopters should be willing to treat if and when flare-ups occur in future.
"She is currently receiving weekly medicated baths which will need to be continued in the home and gradually reduced."
Due to how uncomfortable she was when receiving veterinary treatment and medication when she arrived at the shelter, staff are recommending that future adopters provide Bella with training as well as muzzle training for future vet examinations.
