Dogs Trust Darlington have plenty of rescue dogs looking for a forever home this month.

Scrappy

Scrappy, the eight-year-old, male, long-coat Chihuahua Cross seeks a forever home where his family stays with him for the majority of the day.

He can live with secondary school-age children but should be the only pet in the house.

Scrappy would like to have quiet areas to explore for his on-lead walks. He can share his walks with other dogs but will need to be the only dog in the home.

Agnes and Joyce

The Northern Echo:

Agnes, a five to seven-year-old female Rottweiler and her best friend Joyce are inseparable and need a home together.

They can reside with children above eleven years and another friendly dog.

The large-size girls need a responsible family to ease their settling into the new house.

Frankie

This male Staffordshire bull Terrier cross requires additional visits to the centre until the family forms a sufficient bond.

Frankie should be the only pet in the house, with no children.

Bella

She is housetrained, adjusts at workplaces, and can reside with primary and secondary school-age children.

Yet, her adoption would require successful meetings at the centre since she can be overwhelming at play.

Zena

She tends to react around other dogs, needing unfrequented dog-walking areas.

Older teens aged 16 plus years could bond with her, provided they too require little space.

Zena needs gradual acclimatisation to spend alone time at home.

Flynn

Flynn can live with secondary school age children and another playful dog.

Tillie
