Christmas is right around the corner so here are some of the Dogs Trust dogs searching for a home just in time.
The dogs are looking across the North and North East for a family from centres such as Darlington, Leeds and Cumbria.
But remember, a dog is forever and not just for Christmas.
Here are the 13 of the gorgeous pups in need of a home.
5. Lana (Lurcher, five-seven years)
Lana is an absolute sweetheart, she is loving and playful. She is instantly friendly when she meets new people and walks over with a happy swagger to get a good fuss. She loves cuddles, leaning on you and standing by you for love and strokes We have found that she likes treats.. alot!! No particular favourite as of yet, just all treats are yummy! Using treats to positively reward her will be a great way to gain her trust and begin training. She would benefit from a secure garden, where she can have her zoomies and stretch her legs. Lana has been walking beautifully on a loose lead and is aware of where you walk. She has been walking in a high traffic passing area with no concerns, so feel that she would be comfortable living in a town, or built up area. When Lana is matched, she'll be ready to come home with you on the day that you meet her (Dogs Trust Cumbria) | Dogs Trust Photo: Dogs Trust Cumbria
6. Bella (Border Collie, 11 months)
Bella is an intelligent, fun, active Collie who will be the perfect companion for someone, she travels well in the car. She is a sociable dog, and would happily learn new activities with her adopters, due to her high energy we feel she’d be suited living with Children aged from 12 years + Bella would suit being the only dog in the home, as in foster she has nipped and herded the foster carers own dog. (breed typical collie behaviour) She would prefer to be out in the countryside as fast moving traffic has caused her some anxiety, leading to her barking at cars. She has begun training in her foster home and is enjoying this and responding well, she will need a collie knowledgeable and committed adopter to ensure she reaches her full potential (Dogs Trust Cumbria) | Dogs Trust Photo: Dogs Trust Cumbria
7. Trixie (Lurcher Cross, two-five years)
If you are a fan of lively, affectionate, fun Lurchers then Trixie will be right up your street! There's never a dull moment when she's around and loves nothing more than throwing her toys up in the air and zooming after them! She's super speedy once she gets going but is also very happy to be right by your side enjoying lots of attention on the sofa. Another love of Trixie's is food and that snoot of hers won't miss any freebies going! She'd like to further her basic training with the help of a treat as yummy reward. Trixie is full of character and going to make an cracking addition to family life. (Dogs Trust Darlington) | Dogs Trust Photo: Dogs Trust Darlington
8. Skylar (German Shepherd Cross, one year)
Skylar is a fun, playful and affectionate girl who will be a brilliant addition to her new home. She has so much love to give and likes to shower her friends in tons of cuddles and kisses! Playtime with her is amazing! She loves a good game of tug but her favourite is chase! She smashes her training every day as she’s super smart and loves learning. She likes to be with her human friends all the time so it will be a while before she can be slowly introduced to any alone time, but we’ll guide you through this. Her perfect match would be someone who is looking for a bit of a training project and will enjoy working with us to slowly transition her into the loving home she deserves. | Dogs Trust Photo: Dogs Trust Leeds
