"Big brindle Brian is a real character (in the best way!). If you love big, daft, soft brindles, then look no further than our Bri! He is 7 yrs old and is possibly Staffy x Rottweiler, or Mastiff and is a very handsome boy with the best smile! To give an idea of his size – he weighs 34kg. Brian has so much personality and has also clearly had lots of training before – he knows lots of commands, and even sits at the kerb to wait to cross the road! He is immaculately clean in his kennel, so we are confident that he’s fully housetrained. Brian walks well on lead and loves to get out for a walk. He does bark at dogs if they’re too close, but we believe this to be over excitement/frustration. He needs some sensible management around other dogs, and will need to be the only pet in the home. Brian is just one of those dogs that you can’t not love – he really deserves a home and we know how much joy he will bring to his new family."

From Frenchies to Staffys, these 11 adorable dogs are waiting to be adopted

There’s no shortage of lonely dogs waiting for a home in South Yorkshire

Here are 11 dogs currently being cared for by Helping Yorkshire Poundies that are searching for loving new homes.

The rescue charity has a range of pooches waiting for adoption across South Yorkshire, from playful youngsters to older dogs looking for a second chance.

Among them is Brian, a 34kg brindle dog described as a "big, daft, soft lad" with an infectious smile, while cute Jess the Frenchie is looking for a family to give her “all the love”.

Also waiting is Franklin, a Cane Corso who has spent more than three years searching for the right home.

While he needs an experienced owner who can manage his territorial tendencies, staff believe he could become an incredibly loyal companion in the right environment.

Take a look through the dogs below to find out more about their personalities and adoption requirements – could one of them be the perfect addition to your family?
