This newspaper has partnered with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find forever homes for their rescue dogs.
Charity director Annie Marriott emphasised the impact of adoption, stating: "When people adopt a rescue dog, they save two lives: the one they take home and the one that gets the now-empty kennel. For many of these dogs, their lives depend on it."
Annie also detailed the care provided by the charity. She said: "All our dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, treated for parasites, and come with four weeks of free insurance, a session with dog behaviourist Nathan Watson, and lifelong rescue support. We conduct a home check before rehoming and cannot place dogs in families with children under five years old."
If you're interested in offering a rescue dog a loving home, please email [email protected].
Below are the dogs available for rehoming this week, with descriptions provided by Annie.
5. Leo
We are launching a special appeal to find extraordinary humans to commit to being long-term fosters for some of our VIPs (Very Important Pooches). This privilege is reserved for the elite of dog lovers, as it involves caring for two very handsome golden oldies who, sadly, find themselves in kennels at a time in their lives when they should be enjoying their golden years in a cozy, warm home. If you’d like to learn more about these distinguished gentlemen, Patch (previous picture) and Leo, and what’s involved in being a foster parent, or if you’re ready to offer a comfy bed to one of these special boys, please contact us via email for more information.

7. Hallie
Hallie is a one-year-old Crossbreed with a knack for escaping, as she can scale high fences. She struggles with separation anxiety, which may be due to the stress of kennel life. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can be possessive around food, so feeding her separately is recommended. Hallie is strong and tends to pull on the lead but will benefit from ongoing training. She adores people and, once settled in her new home, is sure to become an incredibly loyal companion. Photo: AIN
