Today is National Dog Day, so what better time to welcome a new furry friend into the family?
Here's the full list of the gorgeous dogs currently available at Dogs Trust Leeds.
1. Winter
The picture of Akita perfection, Winter is a gorgeous fluffy pup who loves to snuggle up when he gets to know you. You can easily win his heart with a pocket full of snacks, so make sure to bring those with you on your visit! At 7 years old he isn't too demanding with his exercise, and prefers to potter around the garden and explore for himself. Winter does get a little bit anxious when left alone so he'd prefer to be around people most of the time, and he would need to be the only dog in his home.
2. Billy
Don't let Billy's age fool you- even at 11 years old this bouncy pup will be running circles around you in no time! A gorgeous Patterdale Terrier, he enjoys the company of people and likes playing with his toys all day long. Billy doesn't like to be left alone much, so his owners would need to be by his side most of the time. He's more than happy to be rehomed with children over 12, and as long as he's given his space he's a warm, cuddly boy with plenty of energy.
3. Thor
If you're looking for a pup to keep you on your toes, you've found a best friend in Thor. At 2 years old, this Staffordshire Cross still has a spring in his step and will make friends with just about anybody if you let him. Give him a toy and watch him entertain himself for hours on end- this puppy will find joy in anything and everything! Due to his size he does need an owner who can keep a hold of him on a lead, and he'd need to be rehomed around children 14-years-old and up.
4. Cheka
Cheka was left devastated when her previous owner passed away, but after being taken in by Dogs Trust she came out of her shell and is now looking for an owner she can give all her love to again. At 8-years-old this tiny Staffy loves a cuddle and will dote on anyone she meets. She's comfortable with walks in busier areas and is fine around other dogs on a lead as long as they give her some space. For rehoming, she'd prefer to be the only dog in the home and her owner would need to be around the majority of the time for her to fully settle in.
5. Luna
Luna is the baby of the family at only 9 months old. Still with a lot to learn in her training, Luna is incredibly playful and is looking for owners who will love exploring and playing with toys as much as she does. At her young age she does need owners who are willing to put in the work to teach her how to walk on a longer lead, however she has already come far with her training thanks to Dogs Trust. A home with a secure garden and children over 16 would suit this puppy perfectly.
6. Eddie
An ex-race dog, Eddie is a friendly pup who loves to go running and play with his squeaky toys. He's vibrant dog and is full of energy, but loves to curl up next to you on the sofa to wind down after a busy day. Eddie is able to mingle with other dogs but likes his own space, preferring quieter walks where he can explore. Due to his high prey drive he is required to wear a muzzle out and about, but this does not phase him! Eddie is a little uncomfortable around children so an adult only home is best, and although he is used to having his owners around all the time he is able to adapt to them being away for short periods.
