Right now, 15 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.
At Dogs Trust Loughborough, you’ll meet every kind of dog — from bouncy young pups bursting with energy to calm, older companions who just want a quiet place to rest.
Some will love long walks through Derbyshire’s parks, while others will be happiest in peaceful homes with patient owners.
The team makes sure every dog gets the best start possible — from health checks and behaviour support to individual care and attention. But nothing compares to the warmth of a real home.
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. Kira - Bull Terrier
Kira is looking to be the only pet in and adult only home. She loves company but is able to be left for a few hours a day too and she is housetrained. | Dogs Trust
2. Meeko
Two-year-old Meeko is a gorgeous friendly boy, once he is friends with you he loves affection and a bum scratch! Meeko is a large boy who sometimes forgets his size, he can be very strong on the lead and has lots of training potential. He enjoys getting on the sofa for a snuggle with his favourite people, he will lean in for lots of loves and doesn’t care much about personal space! Meeko is friendly with other dogs, but needs to be the only dog in the home. | Dogs Trust
3. Ethel
Ethel the Greyhound arrived at Dogs Trust as an ex-racer, so adjusting to life at home will be new for her. She is looking for a family willing to take the time to help her settle into her new environment. Ethel needs a home where she will be the only pet, but she can socialise with compatible dogs during walks. Find out more at: www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/greyhound/3576806. Photo: Dogs Trust
4. Gus - bearded Collie cross
Gus is a very gentle soul. He doesn't ask for much, just someone to love. Gus has no real experience of normal home life and has had limited interaction with people, so is looking for a very special kind of family who would be willing to take their time to settle him in at his own pace and show him what life can be like when he is ready. He is currently learning the ropes in one of our amazing foster homes, and we feel he is ready to find his happy ever after. | Dogs Trust
