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.

9. Pudding, a five year old Bulldog
Pudding is a super friendly with everyone she meets. She is good with other dogs and can live with another calmer dog, although she’s not really one to want to play. Pudding is housetrained and happy to be left alone for a few hours with no problems at all – all she asks for is a comfy bed to snooze in! Pudding has recently undergone surgery for cherry eye, which has gone well and she is recovering nicely. She can happily manage a 20 min lead walk 2-3x a day, but any more than this would be a bit too much for Pudding as she has a bit of hip trouble. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
10. Olive, a two year old Cane Corso
Olive is a big friendly, and super sweet goofball. She loves people and attaches very quickly, so she will need a home with lots of company where she won’t be left for long to begin with. She walks well on the lead, travels well, is housetrained and knows commands – she’s a bit of a superstar! Olive is generally good with other dogs, but would be best as the only dog in the home. She will be a loyal addition to any family. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
11. Blake, a 6 month old American Bulldog
Baby Blake is looking for a large breed experienced forever home. He is a very confident, clever boy who has already had some basic training and will do anything for a treat, so will be fantastic to train. Blake will need an experienced, committed home who can continue his socialisation and training to make sure he grows up to be a well rounded, well behaved boy. He can be rehomed with a larger breed neutered female dog, and a confident cat. Blake is very confident, and can be stubborn – he needs clear boundaries, structure and a calm home environment – he will absolutely blossom in the right home who can keep him on the right path. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
12. Tasha, an 8 year old Staffy
Tasha is very fit and well, and she loves everyone she meets. Tasha is currently in a foster home and enjoying walks, playing with toys and home comforts. She is housetrained and happily sleeps downstairs overnight. She would prefer a home where she isn’t left for long initially until she is settled in. She walks well on the lead, and can be ‘hit and miss’ with dogs out and about – she will need to be the only pet in the home so that all attention is on her! She can live with children aged 10+. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
