These adorable canine companions, available from Dogs Trust Leeds’ rehoming centre in York Road, range from playful pups to senior citizens – but all are wagging their tails in the hope of becoming part of a new family.
This month, they include Joby, a handsome one-year-old Crossbreed with huge potential.
Dogs Trust Leeds works closely with members of the public and wardens to rehome pups in need. So why not bring a bit of joy and warmth into your home this Christmas by taking one of these festive furballs home?
Here are 12 of the dogs up for adoption –
7. Lenny
Two-year-old Great Dane Lenny is a gentle giant who'd prefer an adult-only and a calm environment. He'd need adopters who are around all the time initially to help him adjust. Lenny loves exploring in a private, enclosed garden and, although he will eventually enjoy dog walking friends, he settles best as the only dog at home. He's a clever, housetrained lad who enjoys playful moments with soft toys. Photo: Dogs Trust
8. Toffee
Seven-year-old Trailhound Cross Toffee loves people and has a passion for exploring trails. He's doing well with training and is ready for an adult home that understands his unique breed traits. Preferably the only pet at home, Toffee would need time to settle and thrives with someone around all the time initially. With a love for playing off-lead, a secure garden is a must. Toffee is a firm favourite among staff at Dogs Trust Leeds with his fun-loving nature and zest for life. Photo: Kevin JohnsonKJ PHOTOGRAPHY/Dogs Trust
9. Atticus
One-year-old Malinois Crossbreed Atticus would suit confident adopters with experience in handling his breed. He'd be a bit of a project, so patience and dedication are a must for his transition into a home life. With his endearing personality, Atticus would need an adult-only home and a secure space due to occasional excitement. His progress at Dogs Trust Leeds has been remarkable and the adoption process would be guided by the charity's experts. Photo: Kevin JohnsonKJ PHOTOGRAPHY/Dogs Trust
10. Paddy
Two-year-old Bulldog Paddy takes time to warm up, but once he does, he's a super fun companion. Paddy would need patient adopters willing to build a relationship with him by visiting regularly first. He'd thrive in an adult-only home, preferring a peaceful environment with very few visitors. He would also need to be the only pet. Despite mild Arthritis and hip dysplasia, Paddy is full of bubbly energy and loves toys. Photo: Kevin JohnsonKJ PHOTOGRAPHY/Dogs Trust
11. Eli
Three-year-old Lurcher Cross Eli is full of heartwarming charm. Originally a stray, he has won over everyone with his super-friendly nature and love for fuss and cuddles. While not suited for young children due to his size, confident teenagers would find a great friend in him. He's working on his socialising skills and would need to be the only pet in the home.

12. Domino
Nine-year-old Lurcher Cross Domino is a clever and fun pooch looking for his forever home. Rescued as a stray, he'd need someone around initially to help him settle. Domino would thrive as the only pet in an adult-only home with a secure garden and at least a 6ft fence. He's vocal around other dogs but manages well with a muzzle and excellent focus training. Domino has won over everyone at Dogs Trust Leeds with his playful and affectionate nature. Photo: Kevin JohnsonKJ PHOTOGRAPHY/Dogs Trust
