1. Disney
American Bulldog Disney - Disney is looking for a forever home where she can be spoilt & pampered! Although she would prefer to be the only pet in the home, she would enjoy the company of calm walking friends & could potentially live with dog-savvy children aged 12+. Disney would prefer minimal leaving hours until she is settled, and is looking for a home with a garden for off-lead fun as she will need to be kept on lead in public. | Dogs Trust

2. This is Mr Blue Sky!
Breed: Greyhound Cross. Reference ID: 1227566. Age: 5 - 7 years. Sex: Male. Size: Large. I need ongoing medical care. Location: Loughborough. Mr Blue Sky needs a home with no other pets or children. Mr Blue Sky is a ray of sunshine on the darkest of days. His carers describe him best as a cuddle bug, kind soul and a joy to be around. He is looking for a family who have a spare spot on the sofa for him to cuddle up with in the evenings. Although he would be more than happy to settle for a comfy bed if a sofa is not on offer! He isn't overly demanding of exercise, so you should you want a lazy day, he would make the ideal companion. | Dogs Trust

3. Harley and Poppy
Harley and Poppy are a friendly pair of older Shih Tzus who are looking for a slice of the quiet life. They love their walks, food and afternoon snoozes. They are looking to find a calm home to live in with each other, as they are happy as a bonded pair. They love to share a bed and curl up together at night.

4. Autumn - you're lovely!
Autumn is looking for a quiet home where everyone is over the age of 15 years old and where she’ll be the only pet. She doesn’t like to be by herself so a family able to help support her with this and not need to leave her would be best. She will need a large, secure garden as she will need to settle in before going for walks. Breed: Crossbreed. Age: 2 - 5 years May live with secondary school age children. | Dogs Trust Photo: Submitted
