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.

13. Franklin the "big goofy" Cane Corso
"Franklin is a 3 yr old Cane Corso who will make the most amazing companion for a breed experienced, confident family. He is an absolutely lovely lad who adores his people and is a big, goofy puppy. His main issues lie with his lead walks – he is reactive to dogs/people and traffic when on the lead – he cannot cope with walks in busy areas and needs to find a home in a countryside/more rural setting and be confidently and safely managed on his walks. He is brilliant around the house – fully housetrained, can be left for a few hours with no issues. Franklin loves to run and play with other larger breed dogs – he may be able to live with a friendly large breed female with the right savvy family. No cats! He will need a child free home. Franklin’s breed is naturally protective and territorial, so he will need careful introductions to visitors and an owner who is understanding of the breed. He will make THE most fantastic companion for his lucky new family – he just needs to find the right people for him." - https://helpingyorkshirepoundies.co.uk/large/franklin/ | Helping Yorkshire Poundies

14. Primrose, the 'playful' Staffy crossbreed
"Prim arrived heavily pregnant as a stray. She has now whelped her beautiful babies and it is time for her to find her forever home too. She is very playful and young herself requires an active staffy loving home. She travels well in the car and responds very well to training! Prim is adjusting without her babies so would benefit from an experienced home understanding of her transitioning period. She is good with other dogs out and about but is best suited to be the only pet in the home. We will consider homes with older teens 15+2 - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/primrose/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary

15. Bruce the 'lovable' Labrador
"Bruce is a lovable chocolate labrador with a twist! Found originally as a stray, Bruce struggles in situations where he finds something that is valuable to him – especially food! this will need to be carefully managed by experienced owners that are committed to a ‘project’. He is incredibly friendly with both people and dogs, giddy, bouncy and full of energy. His ideal home would be very outdoorsy. He could potentially live with another high energy dog with the right management at mealtimes." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/bruce/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary

16. Lyra, the 'Jackhuahua' - which is a Jack Russell and a Chihuahua
"Lyra is a sweet sensitive girl who had come to us after being very neglected. Understandably Lyra can take a little while to warm up to new people but once she trusts you she is a very loving girl with a cheeky personality. Lyra would benefit from a quiet and patient new family that are experienced with the breed types, that are committed to showing her that the world isn’t a scary place. She is an active little girl who would make a wonderful adventure companion for the right match." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/lyra-2/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
