This newspaper continues to partner 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 animals: 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.
"All cats leave us neutered, fully vaccinated, parasite-treated, and come with four weeks of free insurance and lifetime rescue support. Home checks are carried out, and a donation is required.
"If you're interested in welcoming one into your home, please email [email protected]. Home checks are carried out, and a donation is required.”
Please visit the Animals in Need website to check the full adoption guidelines and rules around rehoming a rescue.
Below are the latest cats and dogs needing rehoming this week, with descriptions provided by Annie.

5. Wiggsy
At just 9 months old, Wiggsy is full of charm and character. His tail never stops wagging, and his playful spirit will win you over instantly. He loves nothing more than a good game of fetch, and when playtime is over, he’s convinced he’s a lap dog - despite his size! Photo: AIN

6. Boo
Boo is just 11 weeks old and came into our care with her four siblings and her mum after being abandoned outside a nursery in Northampton. She would love a home where she can be adopted with one of her siblings to play and grow up with. Photo: AIN

7. Missy
Missy is a 12-year-old lady who was previously rehomed through us but has been returned due to a change in her family’s circumstances. She would love a calm, animal-free home with a nice garden where she can potter around and enjoy her golden years. Photo: AIN

8. Leela
Leela is an 8-month-old kitten who must be rehomed with her brother and best friend, Rory. They need a home away from busy roads but can live happily with sensible children and other friendly cats. Photo: AIN
