A range of dog and cats of different ages are currently living at the centres and they would love the chance to find a permanent place to call home as soon as possible.
Below are 17 wonderful cats and dogs up for adoption in and around Merseyside. Take a look at the gallery and see if you could provide them with a loving home. For more information about how to adopt, visit https://www.rspca.org.uk/.

1. Crackle
The RSPCA are looking for a very special home for Crackle with a family who will give him the world. Crackle would very much enjoy a garden to bounce around in the bushes on those warm summer evenings, probably even pouncing on you as you hang your washing out! His new family will need to be aware that with Crackle being a Cat Flu carrier, he will be susceptible to flare ups which can be triggered by stressful events e.g. a change in environment, routine and that pesky trip to the vets. | RSPCA

2. Lyla & Haze - French Bulldog
Lyla & Haze are French Bulldogs who need to be rehomed together after being neglected. | RSPCA

3. Dory - Shih Tzu cross
Dory is Shih Tzu cross puppy. She would benefit from living with a confident, well established/trained dog who can show her the ropes and provide Dory with the confidence and support she needs. | RSPCA

4. Troy
Troy is a six-month-old Domestic Short Hair who is looking for his forever home after being returned to the RSPCA through no fault of his own. He is an incredibly sweet and affectionate young boy who would happily be stroked all day long. | RSPCA
