Helping Yorkshire Poundies and Thornberry Animal Sanctuary work hard to look after these pups while they wait for their forever homes.
Not only that, they’ve taken some smashing photos of their bright eyed, lovable faces for their adoption pages.
The standout this week could be beautiful Matilda, an 11-year-old Staffy with the saddest picture ever. At her ripe old age she is looking for a retirement home where she can get “lots of company, snoozes and only short potters out.”
Or there’s Jasper, a “lovely” greyhound who was found roaming stray and is now only after a “caring home with a large and comfy sofa.”
Or there’s Pandora, a great big crossbreed with floppy ears who “loves to play, loves walks and loves life.”
You can find a link to their adoption pages in each of the pictures below. In the meantime, enjoy having a look at these 27 endearing pups.
9. Ren, a 'special little lady' Chihuahua
"This special little lady is 10 year old Chihuahua Ren. She is a typical Chi who is full of character, adores her people, is cheeky, knows what she wants, but is also very sensitive and needs someone to understand her. She has come a long way from the skinny, flea infested and worried girl who arrived with us from stray kennels, and now needs to find her happy ever after. Ren needs a Chihuahua (or small breed) experienced home who understand nervous rescue dogs – she is worried meeting new people, but it doesn’t take her long to trust, and when she does, she adores her person and loves nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa. Little Ren can be a bit ‘spicy’ with handling that she doesn’t like (mainly with the vet!), and will snap. She would love a quiet home with a garden that is secure for a little one! She can live with another calm, smaller dog, but would also be very happy on her own so that she gets all the attention. - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/female/ren-2/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
10. Pandora, a special crossbreed in need of a special home
"Baby Pandora and her fabulous floppy ears are now ready to find a forever home! Pandora is approx 8 months old and is a medium/large sized Crossbreed – we can’t decide what mix she is – but we do know she’s totally adorable! She arrived with us from a stray kennels with a terrible case of mange (non contagious) – after treatment and baths, she’s looking and feeling so much better already, and she’ll be looking a million dollars once her fur has all grown back. Pandora is a typical puppy who is full of beans, and loves everyone she meets! She loves to play, loves her walks, and loves life! She will be needing an active home who want to get out and about with her, and then of course, have plenty of cuddles when she’s tired out! Pandora really is a special girl who deserves a special home." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/large/pandora/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
11. Patsy, the 'chunky' Bully Breed
"Patsy is a gorgeous medium/large sized bully breed – around 33kg, so is quite a chunky girl but is very chilled out and easy going. We do not know her exact age, but estimate her to be around 4 yrs old. Patsy would fit in perfectly to a calm/quiet household – she is such a good girl who is very easy and undemanding around the house – she just needs a calm, confident person to understand her. She walks perfectly on lead and does not pull at all and is very low energy, so just needs a couple of shorter walks per day. Patsy could live with the right dog – a large breed male who is very confident and will give her boundaries, but we think she will do best as the only dog. Patsy is clean in the house, is absolutely fine to be left alone for a few hours, and is generally very low energy, but can get easily excited for eg with visitors, so would suit a less busy household. She thrives on a good routine. She will need a home with direct access to a private secure garden that she can sunbathe in to her hearts content and lounge around chomping on her beloved tennis balls! Patsy will be a dream for the right home – she has tons of character and really deserves to find her forever home with someone who ideally has Bully experience (or larger breed savvy) who will give her life after clearly having such a rubbish start to life." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/large/patsy/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
12. Gilly the ShihTzu who is "such a good boy"
"Gilly the ShihTzu is 13 years young and is the most lovely friendly boy who needs a home with lots of company, and another calmer dog (or 2!) for companionship, as he loves the company of other dogs. He is such a good boy who is still sprightly for his age and enjoys getting out for a nice walk. Gilly is fully housetrained and very well behaved. His only ‘issue’ is that he has seperation anxiety and panics when his humans leave (even with the company of other dogs), so he needs a home who can manage this for him – at his age he doesn’t need the stress and worry of being left. Gilly previously had bladder stones (which were removed), so now needs a special diet to prevent any more forming – he currently eats Royal Canin urinary dry food, and will need to stay on this for the rest of his life. He has been diagnosed with Cushings disease, but has no symptoms, and does not need any treatment for this, but it is just something to be aware of in case he does develop any symptoms later in life, as he may then need to start medication. Gilly is a very special little old man who just needs to find a special retirement home who can give him all the love, company and TLC he deserves." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/male/gilly/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
