These fabulous pups would make wonderful additions to so many families in South Yorkshire, but until then they can only wait and hope.
They include ‘giddy, affectionate’ Kingy the pocket bully who just loves other dogs, Titan the aeroplane-eared terrier cross, and not one but two akitas who are ready to bound into your lap in the form of Padme and Jyn.
These pups come courtesy of Thornberry Animal Sanctuary and Rains Rescue, two South Yorkshire charities who look after hundreds of animals a year in their search for new homes.
Sadly, so many of these pups have been waiting months or even years for their chance. Odin the lurcher’s striking eyes have tragically put off many prospective families when all he wants to do is play. There’s also Tommy the Rottweiler, a sweetheart who has been waiting so long Rains have had cut his adoption fee in half to give him a better chance!
Take a look at these 14 dogs below for more information and see if you could offer them a home. You’ll find links to learn more along with each picture.
9. Cookie and Winnie the 'delightful sister duo'
"Cookie & Winnie are a delightful sister duo that adore each other. We would love to find them a home together. They are a playful pair that both enjoy their walks – adopters should be mindful of the costs of 2 dogs including their grooming commitments and be able to support them ongoing. They could live with older children aged 10+ and have previously lived with other dogs and cats." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/cookie-winnie/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
10. Kizza the 'sweet, sensitive' girl
"Kizza is a sweet, sensitive girl that had arrived completely filthy, hand shy and reserved. We have seen her blossom into a very loving dog, that really enjoys a fuss and attention. She would thrive in a home that have knowledge of the breed and their quirks. She has previously lived with children and could be introduced to teens that are dog savvy. Kizza could potentially live with another dog (neutered male)." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/kizza/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
11. Wonderful Willow the 'sweet, playful' French Bulldog
"Wonderful Willow is a sweet playful French Bulldog who is very friendly with people and would love to live in a frenchie loving family. She has previously lived with children 6+ – Willow has had some very limited interactions with other dogs in the home, she is very boisterous and would benefit from being the only dog." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/willow/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
12. 'Sweet little' Ducky the French Bulldog
"Sweet little Ducky has previously lived in a family setting and is missing her human friends. She is child friendly and has come from a busy household. Previously she has had limited leaving hours. While she is dog friendly she can be bossy so best to be the only pet in the home." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/ducky/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
