These gorgeous pups, including some of the UK’s best loved breeds, are waiting patiently in South Yorkshire for someone to scoop them up.
How about Lando the Akita/German Shepherd cross - you might expect his breed to add up to one bouncy boy, but HYP says he is “very laid back and calm,” “walks beautifully on a lead” and “everyone who meets him instantly falls in love.”
There’s also Paul the Pug, “a very well behaved little boy who is a pleasure to be around” and “who loves cuddles and company.”
Each of the pictures below comes with a link to their adoption page on the Helping Yorkshire Poundies website - could you offer any of them a home?
In the meantime, enjoy these 12 marvellous pups looking for a forever home.
1. Lando the "very laid back and calm" Shepherd x Akita who loves people
"Lando is such a special boy who needs to find his best friend. He is the most lovely, friendly boy who just wants to be with someone – he will be a true companion. Lando is approx 6 yrs old a possibly a Shepherd x Akita. He loves people, is very well behaved and everyone who meets him instantly falls in love. Lando walks beautifully on lead and has been fine around other dogs. He is very laid back and calm – not a bouncy boy at all. In our office space, he will not attempt to get on the sofa – he just likes to lie at your feet by the sofa and is always very settled and just content to be in company. He finds being in his kennel difficult, and although he does not bark/chew/have any accidents, he is upset, can’t settle and is always desperate to come out and be with people, so we think at the moment he will need a home where he will have plenty of company and not be left for long. Lando desperately needs to find a home." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/large/lando/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
2. Paul the Pug, "the happiest little chap you could meet"
"Paul the Pug (cross) is the happiest little chap you could meet! He is 8 years old and is in good health – he has a slightly longer muzzle and slightly longer legs than a ‘full’ Pug. Paul absolutely loves people and always greets everyone with a happy wiggle! He is a very well behaved little boy who is a pleasure to be around. Paul loves his cuddles and company, but can be left for reasonable periods. He enjoys his walks and walks very nicely on lead. He isn’t reactive towards other dogs at all, and actually isn’t particularly interested in other dogs – he has been a little nervous of some dogs, but mostly just isn’t bothered. We feel that he would be happiest as the only dog, but wouldn’t rule out him living with a friendly neutered female of similar size to him. Paul can be rehomed with children aged 8+. He really is a special little boy who will make his new family smile every day – Pugs are the happiest of dogs and Paul is no exception – he will make a brilliant and very loving companion." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/male/paul/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
3. "Gentle, sweet" Alfie the Mastiff Cross
"Gentle, sweet Alfie is a 2.5 yr old Mastiff cross. He has been an absolute dream since arriving with us from a stray kennels – everyone who meets him instantly falls in love with him. He is so soft, a little shy at first and just wants to be close to someone – he melts into you for a cuddle. Alfie is very easy on the lead and just plods along walking very nicely on slack leads. He has been fine around other dogs and could potentially live with a friendly neutered female dog. He is not cat tested. Alfie is now clean in his kennel, he is non destructive and loves to snuggle up in his bed. He also travels well. He really is a star. Alfie arrived with us very underweight, but has gained 5kg already and looks much better – he still has a little way to go but he LOVES his food so we are having to be careful to not overfeed! His health check at our vets was all fine with no concerns. Size wise, he is currently 35kg, and should be nearer 40kg, so he is a large breed, but not a huge boy – we think he’s a perfect size! Alfie is just amazing and couldn’t be more deserving of finding a loving forever home." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/large/alfie-3/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
4. Clive the "most gorgeous" eight-week-old American Bulldog
"Clive is approx 8 weeks old and is the most gorgeous American Bulldog puppy. He was handed in to a vets as a stray with 2 of his siblings when they were very young. They have been raised in foster care and have thankfully done really well thanks to the TLC they have been receiving. Clive can be a little nervous and shy of new things at first, but quickly recovers. He really benefits from the company of another dog, and needs a home WITH another resident dog (a confident, social larger breed neutered female ideally). He is young enough to be rehomed with cats/other animals. He can also be rehomed with confident, dog savvy children aged 8+. Clive will need a committed family who ideally have experience of larger breeds/American Bulldogs, who can ensure he will get all get the training, socialisation, stability and care that he needs to thrive." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/large/clivebettyandbarry/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
