These are just 11 of the dogs and cats in need of permanent, loving homes in Liverpool and Merseyside.
The RSPCA’s Liverpool branch is no longer operating, but dozens of adorable animals are available to foster or adopt in and around Merseyside, through the Wirral and Chester rescue centre (Wallasey), the Southport, Ormskirk and District centre (Halsall) or the Warrington, Halton & St Helens centre (Warrington).

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 11 adorable 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. Bear - Belgian Shepherd cross
Bear needs someone who understands this breeds and their needs. He has been in care since he was two years old and would be suited to someone who enjoys being outdoors. He is not a family pet. | RSPCA

2. Hermione - Terrier cross
Hermione is a two-year-old Terrier cross. She has lived with dogs before and could possibly live with another small dog following successful introductions at the centre. She cannot live with a cat. She is looking for a quiet home where she won’t be left for long periods, with adopters who will let her go at her own pace. She could live with dog-savvy children aged 12+. | RSPCA

3. Fran - Bully cross puppy
Fran is an eight-month-old Bully cross. Fran could potentially live with another compatible dog following introductions at the centre, and she’d be happy in a home with children aged 12 and over but no cats. | RSPCA Southport, Ormskirk & District

4. Pepsi
Pepsi is a lovely black cat who’s now ready to find a home of her very own. Pepsi would suit a home that understands and respects her balance of affection and independence, and she’ll reward you with lots of warmth, companionship, and sweet moments. | RSPCA
