Leeds rescue dogs: meet lurcher Pablo who is up for adoption this Christmas

Pablo is one of 24 very special rescue dogs who is in search of a new home - not just for Christmas, but for life.

The Yorkshire Evening Post has teamed up with Good Life Dog Rescue for the 24 Dogs of Christmas campaign, which aims to match each of the dogs with loving new owners and to highlight the work of this small Leeds charity.

Today, with the support of Lowe Maintenance, we are sharing the story of Pablo the seven-year-old lurcher.

Pablo's story

Pablo is absolutely adorable.

This handsome boy came into our care from the stray kennels.

He walks like a cloud and is happy to be around other dogs on his travels.

This older lurcher came into our care from a Yorkshire stray kennel and has won all our hearts with his sweet and loving nature.

Pablo is quiet and very happy having love and a cuddle.

He desperately needs warmth and comforts of a home and would be happiest laid on the sofa having a snooze with some regular steadier walks.

As with all Lurchers we feel he may not be a fan of cats. We have no history on Pablos past life but we know his future needs a five star retirement home.

If you feel you can offer Pabs a calmer and quieter home in the luxuries he deserves then please get in touch and read more details.

What is Good Life Dog Rescue?

Good Life Dog Rescue is a small charity based here in Leeds that cares about the welfare of stray dogs in the UK.

Its founder, Victoria Bastow, is passionate about helping animals who often face an uncertain future. For more than eight years now, she has been dedicated to helping stray and abandoned dogs in Yorkshire.

The charity flies a flag high for the Staffies and cross Staffies who are often the last to find a rescue place.

It receives no immediate funding and survives on donations and fundraising, with no paid staff and only its committed volunteers to champion the stray dogs it rescues.

Victoria herself has a full-time job so that she can partly fund the huge kennelling and veterinary bills incurred.

Since the charity does not have its own kennels, all the dogs in its care are looked after at kennels in South Yorkshire.

The kennels are very much a temporary home and Good Life aims to find each of the dogs a new start with loving owners as soon as possible.

How to adopt Pablo

Many UK stray kennels, rescues and rehoming centres are full of lovable, active and healthy adoptable dogs just waiting for someone to love them and offer them a home.

It is important the right dog is matched with the right person or family.

In order to find the right dog for its prospective owners, Good Life will need to match their lifestyle with the dog.

All the dogs being cared for by the charity are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Home checks are required and vet references if possible.
