Take a look at six adorable rescue dogs looking for forever homes this week in Northamptonshire

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.”
