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.
5. Joe
Joe is a sweet two-year-old Collie cross who is nervous of the world and needs a loving, patient family to help him grow in confidence. He would prefer a home without young children, as he feels more comfortable in a calm and quiet environment. Joe walks nicely on the lead, although he can be a little nervous near noisy, busy roads.

6. Earl
Earl is a handsome one-year-old English Mastiff who is sure to put a smile on the faces of everyone he meets. This beautiful boy needs a home experienced with boisterous larger breeds. He already weighs 60kg and still has some growing to do! Photo: AIN
7. Murphy
Murphy is a stunning Golden Retriever aged under two who is looking for an experienced, adult-only home. He can guard resources and steal items, so he needs an owner who understands these behaviours and knows how to manage and work through them safely. Murphy is incredibly clever and will need plenty of mental stimulation, training and enrichment to keep his busy brain occupied. He would be best suited to a child-free home with an experienced owner who is committed to helping him thrive. With the right person and environment, this clever young dog has so much potential.
