Based at Woodlands Farm on York Road, the staff work tirelessly to match their four-legged friends with the perfect human counterparts, ensuring every dog gets the second chance they deserve.
Whether you’re looking for a high-energy adventure buddy like Brontë or a ‘Golden Oldie’ like Buster who just wants a quiet spot on the sofa, the centre currently has a dog for every type of household.
From resilient ex-racing Greyhounds to sensitive souls like Bluebell who just need a patient hand to hold, each of these residents has a unique story and a heart full of potential.
Finding a ‘forever home’ is about more than just a garden and a bowl of food; it's about a lifelong bond and a fresh start.
We’ve rounded up 13 of the current residents waiting for that life-changing phone call - could you be the one to give them the happy ending they've been waiting for?
1. Ghost (Akita)
This handsome two-year-old is a gentle lad who needs active adopters ready for exercise in all weathers and a secure garden to explore. Because he can be anxious with handling and struggles when left alone, he needs a quiet home where he is the only pet and has someone around most of the day. | Dogs Trust
2. Dori (Staffordshire Bull Cross)
Dori is a gorgeous, friendly four-year-old who loves being near her people and would even like to sleep in her adopter's bedroom for comfort. She is a big, bouncy girl who needs a calm routine as the only dog in the home, ideally with a secure garden to help her brush up on her housetraining. | Dogs Trust
3. Jack (Greyhound)
Jack is a gentle three-year-old ex-racer who is fully housetrained, travels well in the car, and is happy to be left alone for a few hours. While he is friendly with children and other dogs, his natural prey drive means he must live in a home without cats or small furry animals. | Dogs Trust
4. Ivy (Staffordshire Bull Cross)
After a difficult start as the ‘runt’ of her litter, 18-month-old Ivy has spent her whole life at the centre and needs very patient, special adopters to help build her confidence. Because she requires multiple transition visits, her new family must live within a one-hour drive of the Leeds rehoming centre. | Dogs Trust
5. Dot (Greyhound)
Eight-year-old Dot is a people-oriented girl who thrives on fuss and attention, making her a perfect companion for a family with confident older children. She is social enough to potentially live with another similar dog, provided they have a successful meeting at the centre first. | Dogs Trust
6. Buster (Springer Spaniel)
Don't let his 10 years fool you, as this affectionate Springer Spaniel is still very young at heart and would love an active home with a secure garden to burn off his energy. He is fully housetrained and dog-social, meaning he could potentially share his new home with another canine friend. | Dogs Trust
