Dogs Trust in Leeds has several dogs and puppies and these are the ones that currently need rehoming (all photos from Dogs Trust Leeds):
13. Lyle
Lyle is a lovely lad who has a lot of potential in the right hands. He's three years old and although he's old enough to know better, he does still lack self-control! He's absolutely full of beans and always on the go so will need a lot of patience from his owners as he learns the ropes of home life. He'll need very dedicated people who have a good understanding of dog training and who are passionate about gradually bringing out Lyle's potential. He is extremely strong on lead so you must be able to confidently handle him out and about. He is a very intelligent dog and very willing to learn. His love of food really helps when doing training tasks with him. If you are looking for a smart boy who enjoys lots of interaction and will be a bit of an ongoing project, then Lyle is your boy!
14. Major
Major is big handsome American bulldog who at 11-years-old needs to find a new family to call his own. He can be a little shy when you first meet him but comes round quickly if there are some tasty treats coming his way! He's a very sweet lad who can get very playful when the mood takes him. He enjoys his walkies too but he is very strong on his lead so not for the faint of heart. He has a history of being housetrained but may need a little refresher as he settles in to his new life. One thing is for sure, with Major around you'll never be lost for affection! He cannot live with very young children but over 14s will be fine, as long as they're happy around larger dogs. He is fine around other dogs when out and about but doesn't like to share his home so he'll need to be the only pet. He will need someone around all the time, but that just means more fun and snuggles with him! Major has a few medical issues and new adopters will need to take these costs into account.
15. Otis
Otis is a friendly lad and really enjoys being around both people and dogs. When he first arrived in kennels, his world fell apart and his anxiety manifested in humping people and grabbing at the lead when on walks. These behaviours became a very consistent coping strategy for Otis and made it difficult to do much with him, so he was taught some new strategies to help him cope with everyday life. Otis has done fantastically with his training, and he is more than ready to take the next step and find his forever home. He needs a home that he will be able to transition into easily without too much to get his head around. He is good with dogs, but it'll be easier to settle him in as an only pet. Once settled however, there's potential that another dog could be introduced in time. He is looking for an adult only home with few visitors. He is worried about heavy traffic, so can't live directly on a main road, however he does travel really well which opens up walking opportunities.
16. Phoebe
Seven-year-old Phoebe takes a good while to bond with new people so any potential adopters must be patient and willing to put in the time and effort. She really isn't one for being overly handled or fussed, but once she has a strong relationship, she will tolerate it. She is sociable with other dogs and enjoys on-lead walks with her friends, but she does not enjoy sharing the limelight so must be the only pet in her home. To her, toys are absolutely everything and she will guard them. She needs quite a specific environment to call home. It must be adult only with no visiting children. Very few visitors in general and none during her settling in period, which may take some time. She must not have access to the front door and needs her own area for feeding and stashing her favourite toys. You must already have experience of the classic breed traits of Chihuahua and Jack Russell as this knowledge will really help you to understand her.
17. Pippa
Four-year-old Pippa is a very friendly ex racing Greyhound who loves to meet new people. She is a fussy affectionate girl who likes to play with teddies and has a really sweet nature. Pippa should be fine with children aged 12 and over. Pippa may not have lived in a house before so will need an enclosed garden with high fencing for house training and crazy 40 mph zoomies. Pippa does have a prey drive and may chase small furry animals but like must ex racers she is happy to wear a muzzle out and about. Pippa is okay around dogs as long as they are aren't too OTT or in her face. She would prefer not to share the sofa with another dog in the home though or any other furry pets. Pippa is prone to counter surfing so any unattended food is fair game in her eyes.
18. Scamp
Six-year-old Scamp has a few specific needs. He has limited eye sight due to a degenerative condition for which there is no treatment. As you can imagine it must be very difficult for Scamp moving house and getting to know new people when he can't see very well. His new home must be quiet and stable with a predictable routine and an enclosed garden so he can get to know his environment quickly. He cannot be homed with children as he likes to guard his food. Scamp is fine with dogs out and about but shows little interest and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Overall Scamp is a fun and interactive boy who is easy to walk and loves his soft toys. It may take a while before his true personality shines through but once he has got to know you, and you him a solid bond will form and you will have a best friend for life.
