This week, The Star has rounded up all the Rotherham’s-own Helping Yorkshire Poundies, who have taken some splendid photos that really capture each pooch’s personality.
The include ‘happy, playful’ Taz the Staffy cross, Colin the charming Pug/Frenchie cross who has “come on leaps and bounds” in foster care, and Orla, the four-year-old Doberman who has sadly faced “terrible neglect” but who “absolutely adores people” and needs a fresh start.
These dogs are just exploding with personality, and if any of them seem like a good fit for your household, simply visit the Helping Yorkshire Poundies website to find out more about the adoption process.
In the meantime, enjoy finding out about these 15 pooches below.
5. Peaches - Frenchie, eight years old, female
"Peaches is a super friendly Frenchie who has just turned 8 yrs old. She adores people, and adores attention, so she is looking for a home where she will get lots of company (she will cry/bark when left). She is fully housetrained and is perfect around the house. Peaches is good with children, and can be rehomed with children aged 8+ (potentially younger depending on a meet and greet). She is not a fan of other dogs, and will bark at dogs out and about. She needs a pet free home where all attention is on her! And she needs access to a private garden with solid fencing. She really just needs a loving home where she will get all the love and attention she wants – she’s a perfect girl for a family who are home a lot and want a companion to snuggle up with." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/female/peaches-2/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
6. Little Bear - Pomeranian, eight years, male
"What Little Bear lacks in size, he makes up for in character!! He is a tiny 5kg Pomeranian who came into our care from stray kennels so we don’t know his exact age – we estimate him to be 8-10 yrs old. Little Bear is such a happy little chap who is friendly with everyone he meets (he has his very own tippy tappy happy dance!) and is very tolerant of handling in all aspects. He is cheeky, very clever, so loving (loves his belly rubs!) and knows what he wants!" - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/male/little-bear/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
7. Truffle - Pocket Bully x French Bulldog, four years, female
"Wiggly, smiley Truffle is the biggest character – she’s sassy, confident, knows what she wants and is just an all round hilarious chunky bundle of love! She is approx 4 yrs old and is a chunky medium sized Crossbreed (possibly Pocket Bully x French Bulldog?) – she does need to lose a few kg (sorry Truffle!), so at a healthy weight she will be approx 28kg. She can be very excitable, and will jump up quite a lot, so would be too much for children – she would be OK around confident children around 10+. Truffle is quite Bulldoggy in her temperament, and isn’t the fittest of girls – she’s not ready for marathon walks – she does LOVE to get out for a walk but can’t do more than around a slow 30 mins (much less if it’s warm/humid weather), so she needs a home who are happy to give her shorter more frequent walks rather than long walks. Truffle is totally clean in her kennel, and appears to be well housetrained. She settles fine on her own with no chewing, but she does love to be part of everything going on! She isn’t keen on sharing with another dog, and will need to be the only pet in the home. She isn’t reactive when she sees another dog on her walk, but would need a slow/careful intro to another dog outside of the home. Truffle is fed up in kennels and just wants to be someone’s Princess with all the limelight and attention on her – just as she deserves!" - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/female/truffle-2/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
8. Tilly - French Bulldog, six years old, female
"Tilly is just so sweet – she is looking for a quiet home where she will have lots of company. She is a 6 yr old French Bulldog who is very calm and at her happiest sat by your side having a fuss or belly rub. Tilly is shy meeting new people at first, and just needs a gentle approach. She will need direct access to a secure private garden – she will love to sunbathe when the weather is nice! Tilly does try to stay clean, but may have the odd accident as she settles, especially if she’s left alone. She is unsure of other dogs, and would be happiest as the only dog in her home as she loves her people and will want all the attention , but she is not reactive when she is out. Tilly will not need a very active home, her main requirement is a quiet, calm home where she will get lots of TLC and company." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/female/tilly-3/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
