Helping Yorkshire Poundies, an animal charity based near Worksop, has a number of dogs in their shelter or in foster searching for somewhere they can call home for the rest of their lives.
Many of the dogs have been taken in by the charity from dog pounds, and they often have their own unique quirks and needs - but the rewards of adopting one of these loyal and faithful dogs cannot be forgotten. Some of these dogs will be best suited to an active and busy lifestyle, while others would prefer the quiet life in a more rural setting.
If you believe you could be a good match for any of the dogs below, visit the shelter’s website and fill out a Pre-Adoption Questionnaire where the shelter can then arrange a meet-and-greet.
For many of these dogs, living in the kennels can be a stressful environment, especially if they are recovering from trauma in their past. The charity is always searching for fosters who can look after a fluffy four-legged friend and help them find the confidence they need to enjoy life again before they find their perfect home.

17. Maya, a Mastiff
Five-year-old Maya is a generally easy-going dog who loves to chill, but equally loves to zoom around in the shelter's off-lead area. She can be wary of strangers, but it doesn't take her long to roll onto her back for tummy tickles. She has sadly had her ears cropped. She will need a large breed savvy home where she is the only pet, and with no children. She has been perfect in her kennel, she is clean, quiet, happy and doesn't chew. She does enjoy barking at passers-by. She would be a perfect addition to the right home. Photo: Helping Yorkshire Poundies
18. Ruby, a Shih Tzu
Little Ruby is a faultless little friend who is looking for a special family who will adore her. She is eight years old and is described as the sweetest little lady you could meet. She is very friendly, well behaved and loves to cuddle up on the sofa, but also loves a good walk. Ruby is very good with other dogs, and can live with a friendly calmer dog in her new home.

19. Hawkins, an Old Tyme/American Bulldog crossbreed
Seven-year-old gorgeous Hawkins needs to find a home who has experience with his breed type. He has his quirks, and needs someone to understand him. He is brilliant around the house, he is fully housetrained, doesn’t chew and is more than happy to be left alone, so he would happily suit an owner who works. Hawkins gets worried when out on walks, and will often refuse to walk. He is more than happy to stay at home and play in the garden. He will need a child and pet-free home and space when eating and playing with toys. Photo: Helping Yorkshire Poundies
