This newspaper continues to partner with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find their rescue dogs loving homes.
The charity’s 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.
"If you're interested in welcoming one into your home, please email [email protected]. Home checks are carried out, and a donation is required.”
Annie added: “98 percent of our dogs come from council pounds and have literally been abandoned on the streets. But yes we do feel for the families who love the dogs and have no option but to ask us to find new homes for them.”
Animals in Need recently said on its Facebook page: “Dog rehoming has been super busy, but as fast as we rehome dogs, new ones arrive. Our kennels are full of beautiful dogs, and every day we get multiple calls asking for help.
“Home visits will be carried out, and an adoption fee is required. We cannot rehome 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.
Below are the latest dogs needing rehoming this week, with descriptions provided by Animals in Need.

2. Albert
Albert is a lovely nearly three-year-old rough-coated Lurcher with a gentle nature and so much to offer. This handsome boy enjoys the company of other dogs and could happily have canine friends in his new home. However, he will need a home without cats or small animals. Photo: AIN
3. Maggie
Maggie is a five-year-old Chow Chow who arrived this week after her owner sadly passed away. She is understandably a little confused by what is happening and will need a breed-experienced home where she can settle in. She will also need regular grooming. Photo: AIN
4. Riggs & McClaine
Riggs and McClaine are two lovely four-year-old Lurchers looking for a forever home together, so they can share all of life’s adventures. These handsome boys love people and are always happy to make new human friends. They’re also big fans of a tasty treat, so they’re sure to win you over with their charm! As Lurchers, they love the chance to stretch their legs and enjoy a good off-lead run in a secure paddock or field. Having a safe space to let off steam and enjoy a good zoom around would be a real bonus for these boys. They could potentially live with children, but they can get a little enthusiastic and jump up to say hello, so this would need to be managed carefully. Photo: AIN
