According to Google trends, many people have been searching for 'Animals in Need Northamptonshire' and 'puppies for sale' in the county.
So this newspaper continues to team 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.
"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. Hallie
Hallie is a one year old Crossbreed. She is showing signs of being an escapologist, and can scale high fences. She is developing separation, but this may be as a result of her being stressed in kennels. We would recommend not feeding her around other dogs as she can be possessive. She will need ongoing training as although she walks on a lead, she does pull until she calms down. Photo: AIN
6. Eddie
Eddie is a four year old French Bulldog. He is currently under assessment, but is already showing signs of resource guarding. He walks nicely on lead and is not reactive to other dogs. He has not yet been cat-tested. A breed-experienced family is needed as he may need BOAS in the future. Photo: AIN
7. Harper
Harper is a three year old female Bulldog. She has skin issues typical of the breed, and is currently on single-source protein and grain-free food. She is vocal when left alone, so may have separation anxiety. She is good on the lead, but may need house-training. A breed-experienced home is required. Photo: AIN
