Here are seven 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."
The charity is also currently looking forward to its biggest fundraiser of the year. The open day will be held at Pine Tree Farm in Little Irchester on Saturday September 11 from midday until 4pm. Visitors will get to meet some of the animals the charity is caring for and there will also be a tombola, raffle, bouncy castle, kids colouring competition, face painter, cake stalls, a bbq and more.
Below are the dogs that need rehoming this week, with descriptions written by Annie.
5. Boss
Boss is a young Patterdale chap. He came to us unchipped from a council pound. He is great with people and other dogs but absolutely not anything small and furry. A secure active home is essential for this young man. Photo: Animals in Need
6. George
George is a huge brindle affectionate two-year-old retired racing greyhound. He loves a good gallop around a secure field and a comfortable bed to snooze on. George has a high prey drive so is walked wearing a muzzle. He cannot be homed with any small furries. Photo: Animals in Need
7. Princess
Princess joined us from a council pound. She is a 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier cross pug. She is a quiet friendly young lady, fine with other dogs, but not cat tested. Photo: Animals in Need
