The pooches are currently in the care of Dogs Trust Leeds, with many coming from tragic backgrounds. If you are looking to welcome a four-legged friend into your home, the Trust will help you find your perfect match. Here are some of the dogs that are currently in need of a permanent home:
7. Jess
Jess is a fun and playful girl with lots of energy, everything is at 100 miles an hour ! however she loves to snuggle too. She loves cheese and will respond well during training sessions for a tasty treat. Jess will need a secure garden where she can run around and play with her toys !! Photo: DT
8. Floyd
Floyd is looking for an experienced home, because although he has got buckets of love to give, he does need some help in some areas of his life. He can be worried about people he hasn't met, so a household with few visitors is important. He also needs to wear a muzzle out on walks, which Floyd doesn't mind as long as you don't. We are working on his dog mixing at the centre, but he would need to be the only pet in the home. Previously Floyd has been left home alone with no problems so we think he'll be fine being left for a few hours in his new home. Although Floyd is a bit of a project, he will be well worth the effort and our training and behaviour team are on hand to give you all the support you'll need. Photo: DT
9. Jojo
Jojo will need very experienced dog owners who will understand her training needs. Our Behaviour team will give you plenty of help and guidance on how to bring out her best qualities. She cannot live with any other pets but she is manageable around other dogs out and about and can eventually have walking buddies. Due to her anxieties she needs an adult only home with very few visitors. She will need her owners around all the time as she currently cannot be left at all. She'll need a fully secure garden, in a quiet area, where she can play and explore until her confidence grows and she's ready to start exploring the wider world. As she will need multiple visits at the centre and at home, any potential adopters will need to be within 1 hours drive of the Leeds rehoming centre. Photo: DT
10. Mim
Mim loves to travel and will happily be driven to quieter places for her to walk or swim, she loves water in any form! Once settled in Mim should be fine alone for a few hours especially after a long walk. She will happily entertain herself but prefers the run of the house. If you are not local to the centre then dont worry. As long as you can visit the centre enough times to get to know Mim then distance isn't an issue. Photo: DT
11. Rigsby
Rigsby needs owners who will be patient and help him slowly adjust to his new life. He will need someone around all the time and it will take a long time until he's ready to start building up any alone time. We feel he would suit being the only pet in the home, however a similar dog in size and character may work depending on how they get on. He'll do really well with owners who enjoy dog training as he's super keen to learn. He must have a fully secure garden with a high fence. He's looking for a quiet adult only home where there will be very few visitors. Potential adopters will need to live locally to the Leeds Rehoming centre as multiple visits will be needed to slowly build a bond with him and unfortunatley travelling distances can really worry him.
