Helping Yorkshire Poundies, an animal charity based in the Rotherham area, is caring for many dogs that are desperate to get out of the kennels and into a warm home for the cold winter months.
The charity is run by only a small team of volunteers who work hard to provide care for the dogs who have often come from upsetting backgrounds. The volunteers build up their dogs’ trust and confidence and show them what love and fun feels like.
If you are interested in taking any of the following dogs home, please visit Helping Yorkshire Poundies’ website and fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire to register your interest.

5. Polo, a 4-5 month old Bulldog breed
Polo is only a puppy (he still has his baby teeth!), but he is such a calm boy. He needs to find a large breed-loving home. He is already 24kg in weight, so he will be a very big boy when he's grown up. It is thought that he is an American Bulldog, but he may have some Mastiff in his blood. He is very chilled and has lovely manners - his housetraining is on the way too. Polo loves to lounge in his comfy bed, and to chase the leaves around in the wind. He could live with a neutered female dog, possibly confident cats too given his young age. Polo is such a special boy who just needs to find a home who can commit to a making sure he gets the socialisation and training he needs so that he continues to grow up into a well behaved boy. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
6. Harvey, a 13 year old terrier cross
Harvey is looking for his dream retirement home. He is a lovely small-medium sized crossbreed (Jack Russell x Staffy type mix) who arrived into our care from stray kennels. How anyone can abandon him in his senior years is beyond us. Harvey is around 13 years old, but has so much love to give someone. He is dog friendly and can live with other friendly dogs who aren’t too much for him. Harvey has sore back legs, so can’t do too much in the way of exercise, but does love to get out and about for a good sniff – he’d enjoy trips out in a buggy if someone would be happy to do that with him. He deserves a home that can give him lots of love. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
7. Ermintrude, a 2 year old Bulldog
Ermintrude is quite the character, and is full of beans. She is absolutely adorable and is a small, chunky bundle of giddy fun! Ermintrude adores people, adores the limelight and all the cuddles she can get. She is super friendly, and is also dog friendly, but is too much for little ones. Ermintrude actually does best in a calm environment as she is easily over excited, which can lead to a bit of humping. She could live with a well matched dog, but isn’t cat tested. Ermintrude may have the odd accident as she settles in, but does try to stay clean, and when in a good routine will be housetrained. She does enjoy a nice walk, and isn’t even phased by rain. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
8. Honey, an 18 month crossbreed
Honey is a gorgeous and playful girl, weighing in at around 30kg. She loves everyone she meets and can be left alone in the house for a few hours without issues. She loves walks, but needs to learn not everyone is as excited as she is to meet people/other dogs. She could live with a larger breed male dog and children aged 10+. She needs some training on her lead. She had surgery on her leg recently but is recovering well. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
