This newspaper has partnered with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find their rescue dogs loving homes.
Charity boss Annie Marriott said: "When people adopt a rescue, they save two dogs: the one they bring home and the one that gets the empty kennel. Their lives often depend on it. All our dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, parasite-treated, and come with four weeks of free insurance, a session with dog behaviourist Nathan Watson, and rescue support for their entire lives.
"If you're interested in welcoming one of our dogs into your home, please email [email protected]. We always conduct a home check and cannot rehome dogs to families with children under five years."
Please visit the Animals in Need website to check the full adoption guidelines and rules around rehoming a rescue dog.
Below are the latest dogs needing rehoming this week, with descriptions provided by Annie.

2. Ziggy
Ziggy is a gorgeous 10-and-a-half-year-old SBT girl. Ziggy has a hare lip and does seem to have some sort of neurological condition, which makes her back legs quite wobbly. This girl is super sweet, with just the right amount of stubborn. She loves being out on the grass and watching the world go by. Photo: AIN
3. Guinness
Guinness is a stunning, chunky Lab/Retriever cross boy. He is under two years old. Since being at AIN, he has grown in confidence but still needs positive encouragement when he finds something a bit too scary. Guinness can live with other similarly sized, energetic dogs. Photo: AIN
4. Mac
Mac is a two-and-a-half-year-old Beagle. Typical of the breed, he is super high energy and needs an active home. His favourite game is “catch me if you can” with the kennels team in the dog exercise fields. He is incredibly friendly with people and doesn’t seem bothered by other dogs. Photo: AIN
