Here are nine 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, vaccinated, ID chipped and parasite treated.“They leave us with four weeks’ free insurance, a food parcel, a voucher for a behaviour session & rescue back up for life.
“We cannot rehome to families with children under five years old, a home check will always be carried out to check for a secure garden and adoption fee required.
"For more information please email [email protected]”
Below are the dogs that need rehoming this week, with descriptions written by Annie.
5. Annie
Annie is a sweet natured young Staffie girl, she is fine with other dogs and kennels shared with her friend Rufus! An active home that is committed to working on training is essential. Photo: Animals in Need

7. Dave, Cody, Bear and Archie
Lab cross pups Dave, Cody, Bear and Archie are young boisterous bundles of fun. They need homes where someone is around most if the time to work on socialisation and training. They are fine with other dogs and young enough to be taught manners with other animals. Photo: Animals in Need
