Between them, Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, Helping Yorkshire Poundies and Sheffield City Council Stray Kennels have had 13 dogs arrive on the doorstep.
These include lovely elderly pup Coco, dogs of various breeds who aren’t even one yet, and two terrier sisters who were sadly thrown from a moving car.
Despite some sad backstories, all the pups are safe and sound now, getting looked after by Sheffield’s incredible animal-loving staff and volunteers.
But, they can’t stay at the shelters forever - and that’s where you come in.
Take a look at the adorable photos of 13 furry friends below, and if you’re someone with a dog-shaped void in your home, get in touch with the relevant shelter via their websites linked here: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, Helping Yorkshire Poundies and Sheffield City Council Stray Kennels.
