Dogs of all shapes and sizes are patiently waiting for a perfect family to scoop them up and take them to their forever home.

Rotherham-based animal charity Helping Yorkshire Poundies is looking to have more than 20 dogs scooped up and adopted by a loving family right now.

The team at the charity work every day of each year to rescue dogs from death row and help them get a second shot at happiness which they so rightly deserve. All of these dogs will have the personality and qualities to suit a perfect someone out there in the big wide world - could it be you?

Toby the chihuahua is nine-years-old and needs a home to settle in for his senior years. He absolutely adores people and is a sweetheart. He can live with a friendly smaller neutered female dog and children aged 10+. Toby is clean besides the occasional accident in the house. He can be a bit barky with other dogs but means no harm.

Piglet is a pug cross and aged around 10 months. She is very puppy-like and full of energy for nice walks. Despite starting life as a stray, she is very friendly and loves to play. She can be spooked by loud noises and needs some careful socialising with the ‘big wide world’. She could live with a neutered male dog and needs some further training. Photo: HYP

Mars is just 14 weeks old and is an American bulldog cross. He has a gorgeous merle coat and will be so handsome when he is all grown up. He is super sweet and a little sensitive at times. He can be rehomed with a female neutered dog and could live with a cat. He would be best suited to a quieter home with older children. As a puppy, he needs training and socialisation. Photo: HYP
