Take a look at these 15 adorable dogs up for adoption at a Sussex animal rescue.
Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare says adopting through a rehoming centre can take a little extra time and patience, but the rewards are worth it.
The charity based in Ringmer, Lewes, has plenty of adorable dogs for you to choose from if you are looking to welcome a loving companion into your home.

5. Koda - two year old Siberian Husky
Raystede says Koda is a wise, gentle soul who just needs someone to give him their all and show him he is safe. He did not have the correct support, behaviourally or emotionally, during a critical time in his development. Therefore, he can be very nervous of new people, lots of activity and loud noises. He also struggles around other dogs and will vocalise this. His breed type requires a high level of input to meet his needs for mental stimulation and activity levels. Once bonded, he is very affectionate and playful but requires support in the home to reduce symptoms of stress such as pacing. Koda will require a quiet home in the countryside as the only pet with a secure, private garden. Photo: Raystede
6. Boo - two year old Siberian Husky
Boo is a very active, fun and friendly dog. He can be strong on the lead and has a strong prey drive. Raystede has also said Boo is an escape artist and can try and bolt through doors. He will need a secure garden to play in. He could possibly live with confident, respectful children if they are used to larger dogs, and he could live with another dog of similar energy match as he can be boisterous. Photo: Raystede
7. Quinn - 11 month old Collie cross
Quinn, unfortunately, has already been passed through a few unsuitable homes before arriving in the care of Raystede and will require a home able to meet her high-level needs for physical and mental enrichment. Her new owners will also need to commit to full training support generally and especially around her high arousal and frustration-based behaviours. She ideally needs an active home interested in dog sports like cani-x, hoopers, man-trailing or tracking, to meet her activity input needs, Raystede has said. She could possibly live with confident teenagers but may best suit an adult-only home as she is currently very nippy, bites when frustrated and is very boisterous. She will need home with own secure garden area. Photo: Raystede
8. Ruby - two year old Lurcher
Ruby is a friendly, bouncy girl who is just so excited about life, Raystede has said. She will need to be the only pet in the home and could live with older teenagers. Ruby requires training in her new home and her adopters will be supported in learning skills to manage Ruby's frustrated behaviours around other dogs, as she can bark and lunge. She loves to learn and is very playful, she would love a large garden to zoom around in, and it must be secure, with high fencing, as she can easily jump 6ft . She would like a home with owners who are around often to keep her company. Photo: Raystede
