Whether you are looking for a gentle "couch potato" to share your sofa or a "clever cookie" to keep you on your toes, the team at Dogs Trust Leeds is currently caring for a wonderful variety of dogs, all searching for their forever home.
From "Big Friendly Giants" like Moana the Tibetan Mastiff to the inseparable Cocker Spaniel duo Oscar and Rocket, there is a perfect match waiting for almost every type of household.
We’ve rounded up 13 of the adorable furry friends currently ready to trade kennel life for a place in your heart this April.
1. Mara (German Shepherd, 2 years old)
Mara is a "stunning" crossbreed who is searching for a very special forever home after spending most of her life in kennels. While she can be worried by the outside world, she is a sweet and smart girl who loves training and playing once she builds trust. She requires a calm, adult-only home with no other pets and a secure garden where she can burn off energy. | Leeds Dogs' Trust
2. Pablo (American Bully Pocket, 4 years old)
Lovers of the breed will enjoy his fun, bouncy nature, and he absolutely loves getting plenty of fuss from people. He can live with secondary school-aged children who are confident around playful dogs but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He will need a patient owner who can be around initially to help him settle into a new routine. | Leeds Dogs' Trust
3. Oscar and Rocket (Cocker Spaniels, 4 and 6 years old)
Oscar and Rocket are a "lovely pair" of Cocker Spaniels looking for a forever home together. They are friendly, love human company, and are true Spaniels who enjoy using their noses on long walks. They can live with calm, secondary school-aged children, but must be the only pets in the home. | Leeds Dogs' Trust

4. Ivy (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross, 18 months old)
Ivy is a beautiful girl who had a difficult start to life as the "runt" of her litter. Having spent her whole life at the centre, she can be anxious and lacks confidence, but she is a "really sweet and playful" dog once she builds a bond. Ivy is looking for special adopters who live within an hour's drive of the Leeds centre to facilitate multiple visits. | Leeds Dogs' Trust

5. Buster (Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross, 2 years old)
Buster is a "really fun and affectionate" young dog who is looking for a patient owner to help him continue his training. He is very smart and picks up new things quickly, though he can be anxious and takes medication to help him stay calm. Buster needs a peaceful, adult-only home where he is the only pet and has a secure garden to play in. | Leeds Dogs' Trust
6. Penny (Collie Retriever Cross, 2 years old)
Penny is a "beautiful" and affectionate girl who is full of life and energy despite a difficult start to life. She is a real "firecracker" who loves to learn and play, but she is also happy to snooze once she’s had a blast outdoors. Penny takes medication for her joints and is looking for an active, adult-only home within an hour's drive of the Leeds centre. | Leeds Dogs' Trust
