These delightful cats and dogs are in need of new loving homes in Liverpool and Merseyside.
While the RSPCA’s Liverpool branch has now closed, dozens of adorable animals are available to adopt in and around Liverpool, through the Wirral and Chester rescue centre (Wallasey) or the Southport, Ormskirk and District centre (Halsall).
A variety of dog breeds and cats of different ages are available, and they would love the chance to find a permanent place to call home as soon as possible and meet their forever humans.
Below are 15 super cute cats and dogs up for adoption in Merseyside. Take a look at the gallery and see if you could provide them with a fresh start. For more information about how to adopt, visit https://www.rspca.org.uk/.

13. Penguin
Penguin found himself at the centre after being found wondering the streets with a very nasty abscess on the left side of his face. Luckily he was brought to the vets and is now recovered. He is located at the Wirral & Chester branch. | RSPCA

14. Luna - Bully cross
Luna is a ten-month-old Bull breed whose new owners will need to continue her positive reward based training, to include lead work as she can pull on the lead. Luna also needs a home with consistency and routine to help her become a well-rounded adult dog. She is looking for an adult only home with no other animals, and with someone who is home most of the time. She is located at the Southport, Ormskirk & District branch. | RSPCA

15. Donovan - Bulldog cross
Donovan is a Bulldog cross who is ideally looking for a home where he is the only pet, although he may potentially be able to live with a dog-savvy cat. He is also looking for a family where children are no younger than 16 years old. He is located at the Southport, Ormskirk & District branch. | RSPCA
