Right now, 16 dogs at Dogs Trust East Midlands are waiting for something simple but life-changing — a loving home in Derbyshire.
Each one has their own story, but they all share the same hope: to find care, stability, and someone they can finally trust.
Rehoming is by appointment to make sure every match is right. You can meet the dogs waiting for adoption and start your journey on the Dogs Trust Loughborough website.
Because every dog deserves more than shelter — they deserve a future.
1. How sweet is Holly?!
Breed: Mastiff Cross. Reference ID: 1242017. Age: 2 - 5 years Sex: Female. Location: Loughborough. Holly needs a home with no other pets or children. Size: Large. Holly is house trained and has the potential to be left 3-4 hours once settled in her new home, although she would also make an excellent companion if you were working from home. Holly can be a little worried meeting new people but it doesn't take long to build a relationship with her. Once Holly has a relationship with you she is a very tactile dog. Holly loves a good game of fetch and her all time favourite game is peek-a-boo with her handlers. | Dogs Trust
2. Willow
Willow is an energetic young lady who would thrive in a rural setting. She is unable to live by busy roads, or heavily built up areas, but a countryside retreat would be right up her street! Willow could live with a confident outdoor cat and could live with another dog. She needs an adult only home with a secure area for her to play in. | Dogs Trust
3. Meeko
Beautiful Meeko is a two-year-old Dogue de Bourdeaux searching for an adult-only home with confident owners who have experience with large breeds. This friendly and playful boy loves car trips, walks, and plenty of affection. He enjoys the company of other dogs when out on walks, but would need to be the only dog in the home. He can be a worried soul, so quiet walks away from the hustle and bustle are best for him. He enjoys snuggling up on the sofa with his favourite people and doesn’t care much about personal space!

4. Betsy and Bruce
Six-year-old Pugs Betsy and Bruce are looking for a new home together. They are brother and sister and have never been separated. They are both adorable dogs and have settled in well with Animal Care who have been told that they are both good with children, and have lived with and been good with other dogs. They are both very sweet happy dogs; they walk well on the lead and enjoy lots of cuddles and attention. They used to have an owner at home so can’t be left for too long as they can get upset. Betsy and Bruce are an amazing pair of dogs and they can’t wait to find their new family. Applications for Betsy and Bruce will not be taken separately. They must find a new home together.
