Dogs Trust in Leeds has several dogs and puppies and these are the ones that currently need rehoming (all photos from Dogs Trust Leeds):
7. Jasper
Jasper is a two-year-old Labrador Cross who is full of beans. He has lots of potential in experienced hands. Sadly his life has been very unsettled and he has been left feeling quite insecure. The Dogs Trust training team have worked really hard to help build his confidence and he's now ready to continue his life in a forever home. He is still a bit of a work in progress so his owners must be willing to work with us and stick to his training plan, but in the right home he will do really well. He's very smart and willing to learn and once he knows and trusts you he is playful and full of character! Although he can't share his home with other pets he's very sociable with other dogs and enjoys having walking buddies. Jasper will need patient owners who are happy to take on a bit of a training project! The Dogs Trust Training and Behaviour team will help and guide you along the way. He won't be able to be left alone until he's fully settled in his new home. He needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Jax has been at Dogs Trust a while after having surgery. Although he still has a wart or two, he is ready to find his forever home and he's hoping he'll be kicking back in his new garden by the time summer really arrives. He is friendly with everyone he meets, and considering he has been through a lot in his life so far, that really is testament to his cracking character. Jax is looking for a home with people aged 16 or over, although younger teen visitors would be okay once he's settled in. His move into a home will be stressful for him, which is why he can't go straight in to living with anyone younger. He loves dogs and would enjoy living with a settled role model. Jax could potentially live with cats. He does lack confidence at times so a home with access to quiet walks is important for this lad. Jax has a medical condition that will need ongoing treatment, therefore there will be additional medical costs. Since this photo was taken Jax has had surgery to remove the large lump on his mouth.
Jeremy is friendly with everyone he meets- humans and dogs alike. He's had an unsettled time recently which has left him a little anxious. This usually manifests itself with him getting a little too giddy, but in confident hands he is easily brought back to focus. He is very affectionate, walks lovely on lead and is a really fun chap to be around. He's happy to travel short distances on the back seat of a car (he doesn't like the boot) so will enjoy days out with his new family. His big Staffy smile is contagious. Jeremy will need very active owners with plenty of patience and bags of passion for training. He's doing great with his training plan. He'll be fine with children over 16 due to his exuberant character. He'll need to be the only pet for now, but since he is dog friendly another doggy companion might be able to be introduced further down the line. He cannot be left alone yet so will need someone around all the time until he's fully settled.
Calling all staffie enthusiasts! Loki is a gorgeous chap with bags of potential, but he needs a little refining and he will be a project for whoever takes him on. Loki is smart, enthusiastic, and full of beans. He really loves the company of people that he knows and he is a very playful lad. He is keen to say hello to dogs, but his social skills aren't good enough to guide him if the interaction doesn't go well and he can get frustrated and vocal when interacting. Loki is looking for a home with someone who has dog experience, an interest in training, and who is around the majority of the time to help him settle in. Loki will need an adult only home and for now he will need to be the only pet, but there's a chance he could live with another dog in the future once he has learnt some more skills. A private, secure garden is a must so that he can burn off some energy and enjoy some time off lead.
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!
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.
