Can you give a home to one of these pooches at a Sheffield animal shelter?
Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, based in North Anston, is a rescue centre and a registered charity that works tirelessly to care for a number of animals, from tiny hamsters to great big horses.
Much of the volunteers’ workload is taken up by caring for the dozens of dogs that come through the gates of the shelter. Some may have been found as strays, others have suffered neglect, while others have been given up due to an unfortunate change in circumstances - but one thing they all have in common is that they need a loving home.
Thornberry spends much of its money on the care of its animals, and is always grateful for donations to help manage the costs. Visit their website to find out how you can donate to the charity.
Shona used to be a stray, so much of her history is unknown. She is very friendly and full of beans. She has been reactive towards dogs, but she has made a few friends with time. She should have access to quieter walks and with owners who are keen to support her with her dog interactions once settled. She is good with people and we feel she is suitable for a home with teens aged 14+
Rennie loves a football and promises to support the same team as his new family. Rennie can be really shy and prefers his own space overnight to relax. He enjoys his walks and walks nicely off site, but he is aloof with other dogs on walks so would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Photo: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
Prince is a sweet boy who has sadly suffered a huge amount of neglect in his past. Despite his insecurities, Prince has an affectionate side and will often be seen on his favourite handler's lap having a cuddle. Prince has previously lived in a ‘hoarders’ household with many other dogs, which has left him quite fearful of them in certain situations. He should be the only pet and muzzled in areas where there are other dogs. He cannot live with children. Photo: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
Lola is a sweet little French Bulldog who arrived in poor health, feeling very sad and lost. Luckily she has been in the care of her favourite dog walker and continues to thrive in foster. She only requires short walks but does love to charge around with toys. She loves a cuddle and is very affectionate. Lola takes medication daily to keep her comfortable, which will be paid for by Thornberry on going. She could live with children aged 16+ and must have a secure, private garden.
