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. Nala
Nala is a four-year-old Akita girl whose owners were sadly made homeless and had to make the heart-breaking decision to rehome her. She is friendly to other calm dogs and is a gentle and protective girl. Photo: AIN
3. Mateo
Mateo is a sweet-natured young sighthound with a gentle heart. He's keen to make friends - especially with other sighthounds - but can be a little unsure at first due to a previous bad experience with another dog. With patient introductions and a kind, understanding home, he quickly starts to relax and show his lovely personality. He absolutely adores people and thrives on human companionship. One of his greatest joys is stretching his legs with a good sprint around an enclosed field, where his playful, carefree side really shines. Mateo would do best with owners who can help rebuild his confidence and give him the reassurance he needs to feel safe. Photo: AIN
4. Honey
Honey is a bright, switched-on girl who absolutely loves to use her brain. She already knows a wide range of commands and thrives when given structure, engagement and a handler who appreciates her intelligence. With the right person, she'll be an incredibly rewarding companion - loyal, responsive and always ready to learn something new. Honey is looking for an adult-only, dog-experienced home where she can be the only pet. She'll do best in a calm, consistent environment where her needs are understood and respected. In return, she offers deep companionship and a strong bond with her people - she's the kind of dog who will truly become your partner. Honey is muzzle-trained. Photo: AIN
