The Dogs Trust rehoming centres in Darlington, Leeds, and Edinburgh currently have over 80 dogs of various breeds and ages in search of loving homes. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, these dogs are waiting for families to give them a fresh start and a chance at happiness. Similarly, Dogs Trust’s Merseyside branch, covering Liverpool and surrounding areas, has over 50 dogs hoping to find a permanent home in time for the holidays.
Over at the RSPCA’s Wakefield and District branch in Leeds, 15 cats and dogs, including Tilly and Millie - a pair of energetic two-year-old cocker spaniel sisters - are also in need of homes. The charity ensures that all animals, whether surrendered by previous owners or rescued, receive care and attention until they are matched with suitable families.
5. Maximus (Pointer Cross)
Maximus is a bouncy boy who has a very happy and playful nature. He adores his toy time and really enjoys playing with raggy toys with his humans. He loves nothing more than having company from his humans so will need to have some around for him throughout the day. Maximus can share his home with another dog who will be up for enjoying some play time with him but meals will be best enjoyed separately. | Dogs Trust Darlington
6. Tilly and Millie
Tilly and Millie are an energetic and inseparable pair of two-year-old Cocker Spaniel sisters, known for their playful personalities. They love outdoor adventures and thrive in an active home where they can burn off energy through walks, play and agility training. They’re happiest together and need a family who can spend plenty of time with them, though with gradual training, they could learn to be alone for short periods. | RSPCA
