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.

13. Percy, a 4 year old Pug
Percy is a sweetheart can be rehomed with children aged 8+ and with another friendly female dog. He is reactive to dogs when he’s on the lead out walking, so this will need some work to help him feel more comfortable. Percy would love a home where he gets lots of company. He will need direct access to a secure, private garden. Percy does ‘scent mark’ in the home quite a lot, so wears a belly band at the moment to prevent any mess in his foster home. He has now been neutered, and HYP is confident that this will improve once he has settled into a home, but he will just need some understanding. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
14. Bella, a 9 year old Pug cross
Little Bella is absolutely adorable. She’s a real little character who is still full of beans. She was very shy when she arrived, but has really come out of her shell now and loves attention and to sit on your knee. Bella is good around the house – she can be left for a few hours with no issues and is housetrained. She is very excitable in the car and bounces around, so travels best clipped into a harness – the more she travels, the more she will get used to it. Bella had issues living with another female dog previously, but can live with a calm male dog, and also potentially a confident cat. She can be rehomed with children aged 10+. Bella is just a dream and will make her lucky new family so happy. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
15. Benji, a 10 year old Patterdale
For Benji, his age is just a number. Benji is full of energy, and he LOVES getting out for walks, and exploring. He is reactive on lead to dogs, but it is felt that he may get used to some canine walking friends in time, with very slow introductions on lead. He has so much love and loyalty to give his new owner, and shouldn’t be homeless at his age. He is best suited to a pet- and child-free home that love terriers with their sensitive ways, and who understand that Benji will prefer walks in quieter areas where he won’t come across many other dogs is what he needs. He will make the best little companion. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
16. Clover, a 2 year old Lurcher
Clover is aged between 1-2 years old and is such a sweetie and very friendly . Clover is now in a foster home and is doing great – she is fully housetrained, knows lots of commands, can be left alone for a few hours and travels well in the car. Typical of her breed, she is not suitable for a home with cats or small furry animals, and will to be the only pet, and have a secure garden. Clover gets stressed around other dogs on walks and will need walks in quiet areas while on a lead. Photo: Helping Yorkshire Poundies
