Here are eight abandoned but adorable dogs who are looking for a forever home this week in Northamptonshire.
According to Google trends, many people have been searching for 'Animals in Need Northamptonshire' and 'puppies for sale' in the county.
So this newspaper has teamed up with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find forever homes for their rescue dogs.
Charity boss Annie Marriott said: "When people adopt a rescue they save two dogs: the dog they take home and the pound dog that gets that empty kennel. Their lives often depend upon it.
"All the dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, ID chips, parasite treated and leave us with four weeks free insurance, a session with Nathan Watson dog behaviourist and rescue back up for their whole life.
"If you're interested in welcoming one of our dogs into your home, please email [email protected]
"We always do a home check and cannot rehome dogs to families with children under five years."
Below are the dogs that need rehoming this week, with descriptions written by Annie.
5. Boston
Boston is dreaming of a home of his own! 20-month-old Staffie cross lad is full of life and still acts like a puppy! Ongoing training essential and he would prefer a pet free home because he’s still working on his manners with other animals. Photo: AIN
6. Harry and Una
Harry and Una are young retired racing greyhounds. They are wonderful and affectionate dogs who need comfortable beds to lounge on! They have not long retired and are very prey driven (hence muzzles). They are fine with larger sized dogs but not smaller animals. They can be rehomed as a pair or separately. Photo: AIN
7. Grace and Tom
Grace and Tom are beautiful and affectionate retired racing greyhounds. They are fine with other large sized dogs, but only recently retired and are very prey driven (hence muzzles), so no small animals please. They can be homed as a pair or separate. Photo: AIN
