Several dogs are looking for a forever home at Darlington Dog's Trust this week - find out if any steal your heart below.
Neville
Neville, a medium-sized Whippet Cross, is one to two years old and is hoping to find a home with children ages ten and over.
He is a friendly boy who gets along well with other dogs and could potentially live with another dog pending a successful meet at the centre.
Blizzard
Blizzard, a six-month-old Shar Pei, is still a puppy and is looking for a home with children aged six years and up.
He can live with a fully vaccinated and well-trained dog, and his new owners will need to have a fully secure garden for him to play and learn his toilet training.
Blizzard is currently in a foster home and is ready to leave for his new home.
John
John, a Spaniel (Cocker) Cross, is a six-month-old active pup who requires plenty of dog experience in his forever home.
He would prefer to live with a well-trained dog and adults or older teens.
John will need a secure outdoor space and his adopters must be dedicated to working with him on training.
A home near the center is also important for potential home visits.
Smudge
Smudge is an older male Crossbreed, aged eight years or older.
He is a gentle dog who prefers to be the only pet in the home and can live with children over the age of 16.
Smudge is currently in a loving foster home and enjoys cuddles and treats.
He loves the garden and going for walks in quieter areas away from other dogs.
Toffee
Toffee is a small Crossbreed who can share his home with another dog and children aged ten and over.
He needs someone around while he settles in and may require some brushing up on his house training.
Toffee is currently receiving medicated baths for his skin condition but enjoys going out for little adventures.
Romeo
Romeo, a medium-sized Crossbreed, is a six-month-old puppy who needs people around him all day.
He struggles with being left alone and requires a slow and positive build-up of alone time.
Romeo can live with secondary school-aged children and potentially another pooch pending a successful introduction.
He loves going on adventures with his family and playing with toys.
Nola
Nola, a large German Shepherd Dog, is looking for a fairly quiet home where she can bond with her owners.
She is initially nervous around new people but grows more confident over time.
Nola can live with older children and needs a garden for off-lead playtime.
She is conflicted when in the company of other dogs and will need adopters who can work on her training in this area with guidance from the training team.
These dogs are all looking for their perfect match and a forever home where they can be loved and cared for.
If you believe you could be the perfect match for Neville, Blizzard, John, Smudge, Toffee, Romeo, or Nola, apply now and give one of these deserving pups a new lease on life.
