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.

17. Hunter, an 8 year old Akita
Hunter is the friendliest, happiest boy, who has been a 'pleasure' for staff to look after. He is always smiling and wagging his tail. He is fully housetrained, happy to be left alone for a few hours and is great around the house. He walks beautifully on lead and loves his walks, he also loves having a little play with his toys. He has been fine with other dogs, could live with a friendly female dog pending meet and greet. He could live with children aged 10+. Photo: Helping Yorkshire Poundies
18. Ember, a 9 year old Malamute
Ember sadly found herself homeless through absolutely no fault of her own. She is super friendly and will quickly roll on her back for belly rubs. Ember has settled down well with a good routine of nice walks and plenty of company. She is clean and tidy in her kennel, so seems to be housetrained. She walks well on lead. She can be a bit hit and miss with dogs – sometimes ignoring or grumbling at them. She should be the only dog in the home and not left alone for long periods. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies Photo: Helping Yorkshire Poundies
19. Franklin, a 2 year old Cane Corso
Handsome Franklin needs a breed experienced, confident home. He is a lovely lad who adores his people and is a big, goofy puppy. His main issues lie with his lead walks – he is reactive to dogs/people and traffic when on the lead – he cannot cope with walks in busy areas and needs to find a home in a rural setting. He is fully housetrained, and can be left for a few hours with no issues. He loves to run and play with other larger breed dogs – he may be able to live with a friendly large breed female with the right savvy family, but no cats or children. Franklin’s breed is naturally protective and territorial, so he will need careful introductions to visitors and an owner who is understanding of the breed. Photo: Helping Yorkshire Poundies
20. Bodhi, a 9 year old crossbreed
Bodhi is a very handsome medium-large boy, who is around 30kg. He arrived t the shelter in the most terrible shape, and absolutely petrified. It took time to build up Bodhi’s trust, but he has transformed into a loveable, playful goofball, full of kisses and cuddles. But, Bodhi does not trust strangers, and needs very slow and careful introductions to anyone new. When Bodhi loves you, he really loves you and you’re his for life. He is a very intelligent boy, fully housetrained, and he can be left alone for 5-6 hour periods at a time while he snuggles on the sofa. He needs medication for a skin allergy. He will need walks in quiet countryside where he can use his nose. Bodhi will be the most loyal, loving companion for his new owner. | Helping Yorkshire Poundies
