If you’re looking for to welcome a new dog into your home, there are so many dogs to choose from in South Yorkshire.
Many of these dogs, of all ages and sizes, have ended up in kennels through no fault of their own, including their beloved owner falling poorly and having to give them up for adoption.

How about bringing home Dopey the Doberman, who unbelievably was found as a stray in a sorry state, but has a “lovely, friendly temperament” and loves having people around.
Or how about Chase the Sharpei x Labrador, a handsome boy who “loves everyone he meets!”
Below we have listed just 15 of the many dogs that are looking for homes at Thornberry at the moment.
9. Daphne the "big beautiful" crossbreed
"Daphne is a big beautiful girl, who desperately needs to go on a Summer body diet! she’s a chunky monkey that is so full of love and affection for her humans. She is cross with akita, so some knowledge of the breed and their traits would be preferable. Daphne would prefer to be the only pet and could be rehomed with teens+ She is fine passing dogs but prefers not to interact with them, so suits to be the only pet and pampered!" - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/daphne/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary

He will make someone a perfect companion, as he is completely loyal and loving – he’s an easy going boy that enjoys a moderate walk, followed by some playtime and a snooze. He loves his food, has good handling and is clean in his kennel.

11. Laurie the blind Bedlington x Jack Russell Terrier
"Laurie is completely blind! Special home required for our special boy Laurie. Sadly Laurie lost his vision shortly after arriving and is learning how to navigate life in a new way. He would love to adjust to a home where he has access to a relaxing space, be spoiled with toys and relax in a secure private garden. Laurie is understandably worried when meeting new people and does not like over handling, so a calm and understanding hands off home is essential for our boy to thrive. If you are open minded and willing to adapt for this wonderful boy please enquire. Laurie cannot live with other pets or children." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/laurie/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
12. Tilly the Lurcher who needs help finding her confidence
"Experienced foster / forever home needed for sensitive Tilly. Tilly arrived into our care as a young girl who had lived a very sheltered and sad life – she was adopted by a family who have tried to build her confidence but Tilly has struggled and come back to us at Thornberry. We would love to find her a quiet, loving, sighthound savvy, experienced home to decompress, build trust and enjoy life again. If you think that could be you please contact us. She is not comfortable with other dogs directly so it must be pet free." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/tilly/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
