From 14-week-old ‘whopper’ puppies to retirement seekers, the range of dogs looking for their forever homes this month is a testament to the fact that there is a perfect match out there for every kind of household.
This month’s list features several ‘Underdogs’ - those residents who have been overlooked for six months or more. Some, like the gentle Shar Pei cross Edie, have spent almost their entire lives in care, while others like Jupiter have been waiting for over 1,600 days.
Whether they are ‘Velcro dogs’ who never want to leave your side, or active ‘cracking’ Collies who are ready for a life of mountain hikes, these dogs have one thing in common: a mountain of love just waiting to be shared.
Here are those pooches looking for their new human parents at the Dogs Trust, and for more information or to enquire about the homing process, you can read more about it on their official website.
7. Delta and Delilah (Labrador & Crossbreed)
Delta (7) and Delilah (1) are a devoted 'odd couple' looking to be rehomed together. They are super friendly, affectionate, and can't get enough fuss once they have bonded with their new owners. While they are fine around other dogs on walks, they must be the only pets in the home. They would suit a family with older children and need a secure garden where they can explore and play together off-lead. | Dog's Trust
8. Bella (Greyhound)
Bella is a beautiful 5-year-old ex-racer who is currently thriving in a foster home. She is a sweet, nervous soul who needs a patient, adult-only home and a suitable doggy friend to live with to help her confidence grow. While she is shy at first, she becomes playful and interactive once a bond is formed, and she would love a quiet life with a secure, high-fenced garden where she can enjoy playing off-lead. | Dog's Trust
9. Moana (Tibetan Mastiff Cross)
Moana is a stunning 4-year-old who loves meeting new people with a waggy tail. While she is social with other dogs on walks, she doesn't like to share her space, so she needs to be the only pet in the home. She requires a secure garden for lounging and a family—potentially with older, sensible teens—who are around most of the time to help her settle and keep up with her regular grooming. | Dog's Trust
10. Winnie (French Bulldog)
Winnie is a sweet 3-year-old who leaps and bounds in her foster home and loves snuggling on the sofa. She gets her confidence from other dogs, so she must live with a canine friend in a home away from busy roads and noisy areas. While she requires ongoing skin medication and multiple visits to build a bond, she walks beautifully on the lead and can live with dogs, savvy cats, and secondary school-aged children. | Dog's Trust
11. Teddy (Akita)
Teddy is a handsome 13-year-old Akita who is looking for a loving retirement home to spend his final years in. Despite being found as a stray in poor condition, he is a friendly, chill lad who has been a trooper throughout his medical recovery. He needs a calm, adult-only home where he is the only pet and has someone around most of the time to keep him company, along with a secure garden where he can relax in peace. | Dog's Trust
12. Bunsen (Border Collie)
Bunsen is an 18-month-old Collie who is full of energy and training potential. Originally found as a stray, he is super friendly and loves playing fetch, but his past has left him worried by traffic and loud noises. He needs an active, peaceful home away from busy roads with someone who can be around all the time initially. He would thrive with a family who enjoys long country walks and keeping his Collie brain busy. | Dog's Trust
