9. Teddy
Two-year-old Pomeranian Teddy is a sweet boy with plenty of energy! Teddy loves soft toys and will zoom around with them. Teddy is looking for an adult-only home as he can be worried around new people but once he knows you, he is very affectionate and will ask for fuss. Due to his worries around new people, Teddy would like to be in a home that doesn't have too many visitors. He's best suited to be the only dog in his new home.

10. Billy
Four-year-old Billy the Greyhound is a sweet-natured boy with lots of love to give. He enjoys a calm walk away from hustle and bustle where he can explore and sniff out lots of new smells. Billy is looking for a home where he can live out his dreams of being a couch potato. Billy can live with children over 12 years old and is looking to be the only pet in the home.

11. Lola
Four-month-old American Bulldog Lola enjoys exploring places she is comfortable with and loves having fuss from people she knows and trusts. She is going to be a large breed so it would be beneficial for her family to have experience of large, nervous dogs. Lola can live with young adults (15+) and must live with another dog in her new home. She can also potentially live with a confident cat or other animals. Lola is a worried young girl, who is finding the world quite scary, so she is looking for her new owners to be patient and calm with her to build her trust and confidence. Lola does gain confidence from having another dog around, so a home with an existing dog would be best for her. More at: www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/american-bulldog/3526668 Photo: Dogs Trust

12. Belle
Seven-year-old Chihuahua Belle is a cute little lady with a lot of personality. She is a very foodie girl who will do anything for a treat. Belle loves a cuddle and will happily climb onto your lap and receive fuss. Belle is a very energetic girl and loves to explore, therefore she would need a secure garden with high fences to spend time with her adopters. Belle would like to be the only animal in the home because she can be worried by other animals and cats but would like some walking friends. She can live with children (aged 15+) but would like her owners to understand that she can be wary of men and may need some time to get used to any male visitors and members of her new family.
