Christmas is right around the corner so here are some of the Dogs Trust dogs searching for a home just in time.
The dogs are looking across the North and North East for a family from centres such as Darlington, Leeds and Cumbria.
But remember, a dog is forever and not just for Christmas.
Here are the 13 of the gorgeous pups in need of a home.

13. Polly (German Shepherd Dog Cross, one-years-old)
Pretty Polly is a young girl who is looking for a home with not too many visitors as she can become overwhelmed with too many new faces. Polly would like to be the only pooch in the home but her family will be encouraged to continue working on her socialising around other dogs as she can be unsure on how to behave around them. As Polly can be a worried girl when meeting new people she will be best suited to living with older teens who are aged 16 and over. Polly will need adopters to visit her a few times before going she heads off to her forever home. | DT Photo: Dogs Trust Darlington
