From confident people to those in need of a caring and patient home environment, these rescue animals are looking for their forever home.

Dogs, cats and even ferrets have been introduced to the RSPCA Ipswich and East Suffolk team, which is now seeking forever homes for its furry residents.

Dogs

Leti

Letti was taken into the care of the RSPCA after a fight broke out between her and two other dogs at her former home.

She suffered multiple puncture wounds and had to have stitches on the right side of her face and neck, but luckily she is now fully healed.

Described by shelter staff as a “lovely girl”, Letti enjoys her food, her toys and her company. However, she finds the kennel environment quite stressful and has begun to exhibit unwanted behaviors such as riding and clogging the leash, which are carefully managed.

Letti has shown apprehensive behaviors towards men that will also require further confidence building at home.

Rico

Rico ended up in RSPCA custody due to his behavioral needs.

He is looking for a women-only, adult-only home with no other dogs. A home with a cat might be fine for him, as long as his adopters agree to follow the introduction guidelines provided by the center, to ensure that the welfare of Rico and the cat is not compromised.

Rico enjoys spending time with his owner, but has also been shown to be independent and sometimes likes his own space.

Being a French Bulldog, Rico currently has some minor breed-related health issues.

Rico has displayed some undesirable behaviors in the home environment, which will need to be managed by the adopter with appropriate reward-based training.

Cody would be best suited to a quiet, sparsely populated area where there are fewer passing vehicles, people and dogs.
