The rehoming centre, on York Road, is currently home to 87 dogs - and the charity is determined to find homes for as many of them as possible ahead of the festive season.
It comes after Dogs Trust revealed it has received more than 32,000 handover enquiries so far this year from owners no longer able to care for their dogs. In 2024, the charity has also found new homes for more than 6,000 dogs across the UK.
Kelly Walker, Manager at Dogs Trust Leeds, said: “Christmas is fast approaching, and we are hoping to find forever homes for as many dogs as possible ahead of the festive season. While the Dogs Trust team will make sure that the dogs in our care over Christmas are well looked after, with festive treats and gifts galore, we all know there’s nowhere quite like home.
“We are certain that there is a fantastic forever home for each and every one of our dogs, and we’d like to see as many as possible settled in their new happy places ahead of Christmas.”
We visited the rehoming centre earlier this week to meet some of the 87 dogs looking for their forever homes, which you can see in the video attached to this article. Here are 15 pictures inside -

Thankfully, the team were able fix Rolo's leg, but his recovery period has left him with an abundance of energy that he sometimes doesn't know what to do with. His training has come along brilliantly and the team are so happy he's now ready to find his forever home. | Jonathan Gawthorpe

Rolo is a fun and energetic dog who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs out and about, but his social skills can be a bit much for some. | Jonathan Gawthorpe

Rolo has also shown himself to be rather clever, so ongoing training will be lots of fun with him. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
