Here are six adorable dogs who are looking for a forever home this week in Northamptonshire.
According to Google trends, many people have been searching for 'Animals in Need Northamptonshire' and 'puppies for sale' in the county.
So this newspaper has teamed up with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find forever homes for their rescue dogs.
Charity boss Annie Marriott said: "When people adopt a rescue they save two dogs, the dog they take home and the pound dog that gets that empty kennel. Their lives often depend upon it.
"All the dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, ID chips, parasite treated and leave us with four weeks free insurance, a session with Nathan Watson dog behaviourist and rescue back up for their whole life.
"If you're interested in welcoming one of our dogs into your home, please email [email protected]
"We always do a home check and cannot rehome dogs to families with children under five years."
1. Kai
Kai is a very handsome five-year-old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier (SBT), who hasn’t had much luck so far in his life. He is a lovely little lad with lots of energy, so he will need an active family. He has previously lived with dogs but has become a bit selective about canine companions, so would probably prefer to be the only one in the home. He could not live with cats or small furries.

2. Moss and Toto
These lovely pups are five-month-old Lurchers. They are brother and sister and will need training from scratch. They will each require an active family with a resident dog to help teach them. Photo: AIN
3. Bruno
Bruno is a happy little chap, aged six years. He seems to be good with other dogs but is still under assessment. Photo: AIN
4. Star
Star is a beautiful two-year-old retired Greyhound. True to the breed, she enjoys a couple of good walks a day and is then more than happy to relax on a comfy couch. She is great with people and other dogs but could not live with cats or small furries. Photo: AIN
