Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, based in North Anston, has many dogs of all ages and sizes ready to be given a new home. Some pets have spent many months at the shelter or between foster homes while waiting for a new owner to give them the comfortable and happy life they deserve.
Whether you live alone and are looking for a new companion to focus your attention on, or you’re part of a bustling family looking for a new cuddly friend, there is certainly a dog here that will suit your household.
All visits to Thornberry are by appointment only to reduce any stress on the animals in their day-to-day life. If you would like to find out any more information on the dogs you see below, simply fill out an enquiry form on the shelter’s website here.
9. Arnold, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Arnold is described as a "pocket rocket", with heaps of energy. He would best fit a "very active" home and would make a great running companion, and is good with other dogs when on walks. The six-year-old has a sensitive side and can be quite wary in some situations. He is best suited to an experienced owner with a secure garden. Photo: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
10. Meg, a Greyhound, and Fidget, a Staffy
What's better than one dog? Two, of course! Meg and Fidget are the best of buds and are desperate for a loving home together. The two loving girls love nothing more than cuddling up together after a long walk. Meg is described as a "large lap dog", while Fidget will need an endless amount of toys. They like other dogs and can live with children aged 10 and over. Photo: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
11. Whiskey, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Although described as a "complicated little lady", Whiskey is a fantastic project dog with lots of potential. She loves to play with the ball and will do so for hours. The three-year-old will need support to help her re-adjust to home living, and will need an adult-only home with experienced dog owners. She struggles to be alone and will need a secure garden.

12. Charmer, a Greyhound
Charmer is a five-year-old with a "wonderful temperament". He loves toys and is often seen by staff playing on his own with his toys in his kennel. He's described as a dog who doesn't ask for much - just moderate walking and lots of love. He could live with children aged eight and over, and should be the only dog in the house.
