There is always lots going on at the Leeds Dogs Trust rehoming centre in York Street and this week has been no exception.
Here, the charity's team gives us an exclusive look behind the scenes at day-to-day life and introduces us to some of the animals looking to find loving new homes.
For more information on the dogs currently up for adoption, visit www.dogstrust.org.uk or phone the Dogs Trust call centre on 0303 003 0000.
1.
Blossom, a five-month-old Staffy Cross puppy has been learning some new basic skills. She’s a very exuberant girl and struggles to find calm ways to express herself, but here she is learning how to ‘settle’. She’s looking for an adult only home with confident dog owners who are prepared to do some training with her. Our team will happily help and assist every step of the way.
2.
Mitzy, a 10-year-old Lhasa Apso was spotted out enjoying a lovely walk! She’s still full of life and enjoys being kept busy. A lap dog she certainly is not! She is looking for adopters who are as active as she is and will enjoy having lots of adventures with her.
3.
Kathka, a 13-year-old Siberian Husky was all smiles this week as she was adopted and left the rehoming centre to start her new life in her forever home. She is such a sweet girl so we know her new family will be having lots of fun with her!
4.
Billy, a 12-month-old Pointer Collie Cross arrived at the Rehoming Centre a few weeks ago after being found as a stray. True to his breed, he is very timid and finds the world a little overwhelming, but this week he’s been making brilliant progress and his confidence is growing more and more. He’s now ready to find his forever home with patient adopters who are prepared to put in the hard work of slowly showing him that the world isn’t so scary. In the right hands he will flourish.
5.
Here is Taz enjoying a sneaky snuggle with his handler during a recent training session. He’s a 10-year-old Terrier cross who is full of personality and loves being around people he knows. He is doing great with his training and looking for a new home with adopters who will take their time getting to know him and continue his training at home.
6.
Buster came by to visit the centre this week. He’s a three-year-old Rottweiler cross who is living off-site with a foster carer. He popped in to say hello and enjoyed a lovely walk with one of his favourite Canine Carers Amy. He’s such a sweet lad and is loving it at his foster home but hopes he’ll soon find his forever home. He has some anxieties so will need confident adopters who will work with the training team to slowly transition him to a new life.
