Bella enjoys being out and about for walks but she really enjoys using her snoot out on walks, to find all the best sniffs. She is a sweet girl and should make an amazing addition to most families. Bella does have mild hip dysplasia and luxating patella which can be very common from the breed, though she is not in any need of medications at the present, but she may in the future. If you have a space in your heart and your home for this lovely lady add her to your favourites list today.

Bailey is a four month old hound cross. He is a wonderful young pup who hasn't seen much of the world and can be nervous and shy with new people and new situations. Once he knows you, Bailey is a friend for life! He can live with children 8 years and above, and would love access to his own garden where he can run around and play. Bailey would love someone who is around most of the day to help him settle in, and patient and understanding owners who are willing to help him build up his confidence.

Freya is a 6 month old Belgian Mallinois cross. Freya is a super sweet girl who has come into our care from a background where she has not experienced much of normal everyday life. Freya is looking for a home with owners who have owned a working breed or shepherd type breed before and understand the level of exercise and mental stimulation she will require. She will need an active home and could live with children aged 14 years old and above. Freya would like to be the only pet in the home and will need an enclosed garden for her to play in and burn off some of her energy.

17 beautiful dogs looking for their forever home in the North East

Waldo is a 1yr old Border Collie who was found as a stray. While this means we don't know anything about his history, we have found him to be a fun dog with tons of training potential. He needs adopters who are training focussed and plan to keep him busy, like any young Collie should be! He would be fine with older kids and could potentially share with another good role model dog who could patiently show him the ropes. He'll need a secure garden with no dogs next door so he has somewhere to play off-lead and practice his housetraining. Most importantly, he will need someone around all the time as he struggles being left. It may take some time to slowly build up his confidence around being alone, but our training team will help and advise on the best way to do this.

13 incredible dogs looking for their forever home in the North East

We do believe Riley is going to be a rather large Lurcher, given his paw size! Riley is a playful puppy, who will require lots of stimulation to keep his young mind busy. He would love a secure garden to play and relax in, this would also be beneficial for his continued toilet training. Riley knows some basic commands and has recently started recall training in a secure field. Riley has proved to be a couch potato within the home and will settle down for affection and lounge about on the furniture in weird sighthound positions. Riley could live with confident children, who are used to larger breed dogs. Riley can also live with another playful dog.

Going Green: Very few Brits feel they’re prepared for climate change

Forest is a really smart lad and being very foody means he will be a training dream! He has a real zest for life, and you can’t help but smile when you’re with him. He isn’t used to being on his own so he’ll need someone around all the time initially to slowly introduce him to the idea of short periods alone. If you are looking for an active, smart and super fun dog who’s full of potential then you can’t go wrong with Fabulous Forest!

Nine stunning dogs looking for a forever home in the North East

Watch London's first snowfall of 2024

Psalm and his siblings (2 female and 4 male) are gorgeous 9 week old lurcher puppies who are now on the search for their forever homes. These puppies are playful bundles of fun, who will need adopters who are at home most of the day to help settle them into their new homes. Adopters should be prepared that like any puppy, Psalm and his siblings will need lots of training, including housetraining, and should be willing to attend our fabulous Dog School classes to give them the best start possible. Psalm and his siblings could share their home with another sociable dog, provided that the existing dog is tolerant of bouncy, energetic puppies. These puppies could also live with children over the age of 5 years who have a sensible approach to dogs. Adopters should also have a secure garden space which is suitably enclosed to aid housetraining and provide room for exercise.

Little Pecan is only 3 months old and has already had quite a bit of an unsettled start, but our team are doing well teaching him the basic skills he'll need to settle in a new home. He'll be fine to live with older kids who are confident around bouncy dogs. Although he cannot share with cats or small furry pets, he's great with other dogs so having a good doggy role model would be fine for him.

Handsome Monty is looking for a family who are into their dog training and will help him build up on some of his skills. He could also benefit from a confidence boost. A home with a garden would be ideal for playtime and enrichment games. Once settled into home life Monty should be ok to spend time on his on a comfy bed with a chew if his pawrents ever need to pop out. Monty can live with secondary school aged kids (12yrs+). He may have a pal when out on his on-lead walks but will need to be the only dog in the home.

Laszlo is a firm favourite with his handlers as he is just SO MUCH FUN! He loves living life to the max and enjoys nothing more than bombing around a garden for a mad-minute! His smart brain and love of food means he really enjoys learning new things so if you fancy teaching him a few tricks then he’ll be well up for that! If you are looking for a bubbly, playful young dog to have loads of fun with then you won’t go wrong with Laszlo.

13 loving dogs looking for a forever home in the North East

Ringo is an adorable 12-week-old lurcher. He has had an unsettled life so far, so he is looking for a quiet and predictable home, with owners around all the time initially whilst he settles in. He will need adopters who are prepared to do all of his basic training, including house training, and a secure garden will be needed for this. He could live with a sensible, confident adult dog to show him the ropes and he could live with children, pending everyone getting along together. Due to his breed's natural prey drive, we would avoid homing him with cats or small furries.

This dude certainly has the looks but he is still working on his confidence around people so would like a family understanding of his need for space. He likes being out and about exploring new places and sniffing out new smells. Car travel doesn't bother him so will be ok for a mini road trip enjoy other walking routes. Ozzy is a playful lad and is always up for a game of ball. With some guidance and time Ozzy's full personality will soon shine through.

Monica and Phoebe are both 5 years old and have such a lovely friendship so we would love to see them go into their home together. Once Phoebe has met you, she is a super affectionate girl and will always seek out her humans for attention and cuddles which helps Monica build relationships with people and gives her the confidence to come over and interact with people. They both enjoy having toys to play with and phoebe will carry one around with her a lot of the time unless her and Monica are receiving tasty treats. Mental enrichment such as Licky mats, snuffle mats etc will be good for both to help build confidence and to give them fun activities at home. Monica and Phoebe are such sweet girls who we cannot wait to see go into their forever homes and receive all the TLC that they deserve! (Dogs Trust Darlington)
