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."
Visit Animals in Need’s 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.
5. Belle
Belle is a super-sweet, shy nine-year-old girl who came from a multi-dog household and would benefit from living with a resident dog. She’s just beginning to learn how to walk on a lead and is still a bit wary of new people due to limited socialisation. Belle will need a patient family willing to give her time to settle—she’s eager to please and will make a loyal companion. Photo: AIN
6. Ayla
Ayla is an 18-month-old Turkish Kangal with a big personality to match her large size, so she’ll need a home with plenty of space. Despite a difficult start in life, she remains resilient and upbeat. She has been fine around other dogs so far, though full assessments are still ongoing. Photo: AIN
7. Denver
Denver is a one-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. He is a very affectionate boy, and loves to be fussed. He only knows a few basic commands and is not used to walking on lead, so commitment to training will be required. Denver seems to be fine with other dogs but has not been cat-tested. Assessments are ongoing. Photo: AIN
8. Karlos
Karlos is a lively, strong lad who will make a fantastic companion in the right home. He needs owners experienced with large breeds and committed to ongoing training, particularly with lead walking—he responds better on a Halti. Friendly by nature, Karlos would be best in a household without children under 12 due to his size. He walks well alongside other large dogs but isn't keen on smaller ones and hasn’t been cat-tested. An active, experienced family who can offer plenty of exercise and guidance would be the ideal match for him, as he’s eager to please and full of potential. Photo: AIN
