We have looked at Helping Yorkshire Poundies, Sheffield RSPCA, and Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in Rotherham to show you 21 of the dogs in their care, hoping for a home this winter.
Some of these pups would love to sprint around Sheffield's parks and the nearby Peak District with a whole family, while others prefer to stick to resting in a garden and cuddles from their owners - could you provide a home suited to either of these, or anywhere in between?
If you think your home could be the perfect fit for one of the following dogs, please visit the website of the relevant charity to find out how you can adopt or foster.
If you cannot foster or adopt any of the canines, but you would still like to help the cause, consider making a financial donation to aid their work, again by following each charities' website.
9. Coco, Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
Meet Coco, a beautiful rare breed to rescue. The 1-year-old Pharaoh Hound x Peruvian Inca Orchid is currently being cared for by Thornberry Animal Sanctuary. She is young and has huge amounts of potential. Coco spent the first period of her life living outside but she has adjusted well to a family home. Coco is a high energy dog who is best suited to adopters who have researched the breed, their temperament and is patient with a girl who requires a lot of stimulation. She is best suited to teenage children and could potentially live with another high energy dog. | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
10. Boss, Thornberry
This lovable 1-year-old crossbreed would benefit from a home with active people who have no other pets. He doesn't love other dogs, but with people, he is a cuddle bug and loves going on walks. | Thornberry
11. Marley, Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
Marvellous Marley is a 7-year-old chihuahua and a sweet little chap who is missing his home comforts. He is a real lap dog and loves a cuddle – he is good with other similar sized dogs when out and about but can be jealous so looking to be the only pampered pooch in the household. He could live with children aged 12+ Adopters should be familiar with chihuahuas, their grooming requirements and temperament. | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
12. Lola, Thornberry Animal Sanctutyar
Little Lola is being cared for by Thornberry Animal Sanctuary. She is a gentle older girl who is looking for her quiet retirement home. She is uncomfortable in busy environments, so it is essential that her new home is pet free with no children. A garden is essential for her adoption as she enjoys spending time mooching around our off lead area. | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
