This newspaper has partnered with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find their rescue dogs loving homes.
Charity boss Annie Marriott said: "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. Rico
Rico is a handsome little lad, but he lacks manners and doesn't understand any commands, so he would benefit from a breed-experienced family who are prepared to train him from scratch. He needs house-training. He could live with another dog and sensible children over the age of eight, but he must be taught not to snatch food, which he currently does. Photo: AIN
6. Custard
Custard is a lovely girl who is full of joy. She is looking for a home who will keep her busy, ideally with older children. She can be selective with other dogs so would prefer not to live with one. She knows some commands and is eager to please. Photo: AIN
7. Cassie
Cassie is a lovely pup looking for an active home. She should be fine to live with children over the age of 12 years and possibly another dog. She cannot live with cats or small furries. Photo: AIN
8. Biscoff
Biscoff is a handsome lurcher lad looking for an active family committed to training from scratch. He is showing signs of separation anxiety, so he could not be left for long hours and would probably benefit from living with a canine companion. He would be fine to live with children over the age of 12 years who understand his need for reassurance. Photo: AIN
