Giving a rescue dog a home can be one of the most rewarding things in the world.
Each week, Dogs Trust East Midlands releases photos of its residents in the hope of people seeing the photos and falling in love with the pooch photos.
From bouncy puppies to serene seniors, the dogs are ready to bound into your life and bring with them bundles of joy, love and bucket-loads of snuggles.
If you’d like to know more but don’t quite know where to start, don’t worry.
Get in touch with East Midlands-based Dogs Trust Loughborough and staff will help match you with the right companion.
They will be on hand to support you through every step.
By adopting, you’re not just gaining a pet, you’re giving a dog the life it deserves.
Here are 10 dogs from the East Midlands-based Dogs Trust – a branch of the UK's largest dog welfare charity – hoping to find a new and loving home right here in Derbyshire.
Here are the dogs from the Midlands at Kenilworth and Loughborough centres.
If you are interested in rehoming any of these dogs, contact [email protected].
5. Perseus (reference 3565127)
Perseus is a beautiful and fun loving 5-year-old Greyhound. He is an ex-racer so is looking for a family that can help him learn all he needs to know about life in a home. He loves fuss and attention from his favourite people and can be an excitable and bouncy boy at times; for this reason he would be best suited to children of 6+ who are confidence around bigger dogs. | Dogs Trust
6. Swift (reference 1138670)
Golden oldie Swift, a Border collie is looking for a quiet, adult-only retirement home where he can enjoy peaceful strolls and long, cosy snoozes. He needs an adult only home and would prefer to be the only pet, though he wouldn’t mind walking alongside calm, well-mannered dogs. Could you be the calm and caring home Swift is dreaming of? | Dogs Trust
7. Bolt (reference 3588697)
Meet Bolt, a playful and affectionate 9-month-old pup with a big heart. He can be a little shy in new situations, but his confidence has blossomed at the centre. Bolt would love a calm, patient family who can help him settle into home life with gentle encouragement. He can live with older children. He’s a social boy but must be only pet in the home. If you have access to quiet walks and time to help Bolt build his confidence, he could be the perfect match for you. | Dogs Trust
8. Cooper (reference 1249338)
Cooper is a typical Beagle, energetic and curious, and he needs a forever family. He thrives on his walks and sniffing to his hearts content. He would prefer adult-only home with people who are respectful space and needs to be the only pet in the house but loves meeting other dogs. Cooper is building confidence at the vet, learning to wear a muzzle, and will need ongoing support. | Dogs Trust
