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.
13. Opie (Collie Cross)
Opie is an 8-year-old Collie Labrador Cross who greets everyone with a wiggly bum and a waggy tail. He is a smart, food-motivated lad who is a firm favourite at the centre due to his affectionate nature. Because he is noise-sensitive and reactive to other dogs, he needs a peaceful, adult-only home where he is the only pet and can be walked in quiet areas by capable owners. | Dog's Trust
14. Bobby (Malinois Cross)
Bobby is a handsome 18-month-old who has had a difficult start to life, leaving him worried about the world. While he needs a few meetings to show his hilarious side, he is a brilliant training project for adult owners who can be around all the time. He currently takes anxiety medication, requires a home within one hour of the Leeds centre, and needs a quiet environment with a secure garden where he can be the only pet. | Dog's Trust
15. Domino (Collie Cross)
Domino is a smart, adventurous 2-year-old Collie Springer Spaniel Cross who lives for his training. While originally found as a stray and currently taking medication for anxiety, he is an active, food-motivated lad who would make a perfect hiking buddy. He needs a calm, adult-only home with a secure garden where he is the only pet and has someone around all the time initially to help him settle into a consistent routine. | Dog's Trust
16. Buddy (German Shepherd Cross)
Buddy is a 1-year-old with a big personality looking for owners who are enthusiastic about large breeds. While he can be a 'bark first, think later' boy when nervous, he is smashing his training and his playful side shines once he feels confident. He requires a calm, adult-only home with a secure garden and someone around all the time initially. Buddy has an ongoing medical condition, but financial support for this can be explored for the right match. | Dog's Trust
