If you’ve been thinking about adding a four-legged friend to the family, the team at Dogs Trust Leeds currently has a wide array of dogs patiently waiting for their forever homes.
From bright, high-energy pups looking for active adventures across West Yorkshire to gentle senior companions who would like nothing more than a quiet spot on the sofa, each of these rescue dogs brings their own unique personality and charm.
Whether you’re a seasoned dog owner or looking to welcome a rescue for the very first time, here are 12 dogs currently at the Leeds rehoming centre looking for a fresh start and a second chance this October.
7. Milo
Milo is a super gorgeous five-year-old Staffy who adores people, but he just needs a little time and space initially to get to know you. He is really friendly with other dogs and has made tons of friends at Dogs Trust Leeds, but sharing with other pets in his home would make it difficult for him to settle and learn a good routine, so he'll need to be the only pet in an adult-only home. He would love to have lots of walking buddies, though. | Leeds Dogs Trust
8. Mimi
Mimi is an incredibly sweet and affectionate nine-year-old Whippet cross who loves nothing more than snuggles and climbing onto your lap for a fuss. A gentle older lady who walks nicely on a lead and travels well in the car, Mimi is looking for a comfy home where she can share the sofa with her new family. | Dogs Trust
9. Sasha
Sasha is a gorgeous, four-year-old American Bulldog who is exceptionally friendly and loves nothing more than a good snuggle. She walks beautifully on the lead—though she is a strong girl - and was previously house-trained, needing just a light refresher as she settles into her new routine. | Dogs Trust
10. Otis
Otis is a fabulous, playful two-year-old Staffy and Mastiff cross who is full of fun and affection. A food-motivated boy who is eager to learn, Otis loves being out on adventures, though he prefers quieter roads away from noisy traffic and will need a home with a secure garden to let off steam. | Dogs Trust
11. Poppy
Poppy is a gorgeous, three-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is super playful and loves a great game of tug or chase. Though she can be a little anxious around new people initially, she quickly comes around to reveal a sweet, fun, and friendly personality. | Dogs Trust
12. Teddy
Teddy is quite an anxious lad who is worried by the big, wide world and other dogs, so he requires a home with no other pets or young children, though older, quiet teens could be considered. He takes medication for his anxiety - which a vet can discuss in more detail - and needs a secure garden with no neighbouring dogs for off-lead play. | Dogs Trust Leeds
