A number of pets in Dorset are looking for their forever homes, including at the Ashley Heath Animal Centre.
Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.
A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.
To help the Ashley Heath Animal Centre carry on their work you can donate to their website here.
Elvina
Gender - Female
Age - Two years old
Breed - Collie (Rough coat) crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Elvina you can view their full profile here.
Elvina came into the care of the RSPCA after living in unsuitable conditions with around 200 other dogs.
She has led an extremely sheltered life with limited human interactions and it took some time to build up her confidence.
The profile adds: "She is now happy with who and what she knows but when introduced to something new or unfamiliar she reverts back to being a shy, nervous dog who wants to avoid such situations."
Elvina could go to a quiet house with calm and understanding owners.

Gender - Male
Age - Nine years old
Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed
Colour - Black
If you want to adopt Horris you can view their full profile here.

Whilst at the centre, Horris has really enjoyed the company of the cattery staff and volunteers and has very quickly become a huge favourite among staff.
He could go to a home where he may get used to another cat or even a calm, friendly dog that has lived with cats previously.

He is a friendly, social rabbit, who enjoys exploring his environment and supervising at cleaning time.
