There are 13 dogs at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary who need adopting, including Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Labradors and and a floppy eared Jack Russell Terrier.
The South Yorkshire animal charity says more than a few of these pups are in need of extra walkies and a few less treats to help them lose a few pounds - are you ready to get them out and about before the summer is out?
There’s Poppy the Labrador x Collie, who at 11 years young still needs to lose some puppy fat. A few extra laps around the park at her new home should do the trick.
There’s also Cleo the “big, friendly” Labrador who has “spent a long time without walks” - her new owner must be ready to keep her on her diet, no matter how much she begs for extra.
Take a look at these 13 dogs below, where you can find links to their adoption pages.
5. Cleo the "big friendly" Labrador who needs a bit of help with weight loss
"Cleo is a big friendly girl who has spent a long time without walks. She would really benefit from continued support on her diet! Cleo is a big girl and this makes her very strong to walk – she is dog reactive, so would thrive in a home with confident adopters who are prepared to support her with socialising and exercise. Since arriving in our care Cleo is doing brilliantly, and responding well to training. She could live with older children 14+ and will warm to younger visitors once settled." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/cleo/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
6. Toby the "terrific little terrier" - look at those ears!
"Toby is a terrific little terrier – he is an happy little chap who enjoys long walks. He would suit an active home, who know the breed and their quirks. He has been good with other dogs here but was not compatible to live with a male in his last home, so would prefer to be the only dog but with plenty of friends. Toby could live with teens+ (will accept younger visitors once settled) He really enjoys his food! especially chicken." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/toby/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
7. Dave the Terrier with "heaps of character"
"Dave is a small sized terrier crossbreed with heaps of character. He’s a happy little chap that would make a great family member – he has previously lived with another dog, cat and child however Dave would prefer a home where there is more time and attention for him. He is better suited to be the only dog in the household as can get jealous, but would enjoy similar sized friends. He could be introduced to a confident cat gradually and live with children aged 8+" - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/dave/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
8. Smudge the Jack Russell Terrier, 15 years young
"Little Smudge is a handsome older gentleman that would make the perfect companion dog. He would love a retirement home that is slower paced like him – he enjoys a potter and is taking a short walk or two a day. While he would prefer a quiet household he is comfortable meeting new people and would welcome younger visitors. If you are looking to complete your family with a sweet boy please consider Smudge." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/smudge/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
