This newspaper has partnered with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find their rescue dogs loving homes.
The shelter currently has a handful of Greyhound dogs they are looking to secure homes for.
Charity boss Annie Marriott said: "We have five stunning ex-racing greyhounds patiently waiting for new homes. “Greyhounds make great companions & many owners of them insist they are addictive and the saying ‘you cannot only have one’ is often heard in greyhound circles. Please consider this incredible and regal breed.”
Annie added: "When people adopt a rescue, they save two dogs: the one they bring home and the one that gets the empty kennel. Their lives often depend on it. All our dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, parasite-treated, and come with four weeks of free insurance, a session with dog behaviourist Nathan Watson, and rescue support for their entire lives.
"If you're interested in welcoming one of our dogs into your home, please email [email protected]. We always conduct a home check and cannot rehome dogs to families with children under five years."
Please visit the Animals in Need website to check the full adoption guidelines and rules around rehoming a rescue dog.
Below are the latest dogs needing rehoming this week, with descriptions provided by Annie
5. Solly
Silly Solly is a bit of a clown! With his mischievous streak and charming personality, it’s almost impossible not to smile at this handsome boy’s antics. Solly walks nicely on the lead and gets along brilliantly with other dogs. As a precaution due to his racing background, he wears a muzzle while out on walks. He’s clean in his kennel during the day but may need a little time to adjust to a new home environment. Solly is very food-motivated - sometimes a bit too motivated, as he’s been known to help himself to treats! Because of his cheeky nature, he wouldn’t be suitable for a home with small children, especially those with sticky fingers. Photo: AIN
