Ringo is an adorable 12-week-old lurcher. He has had an unsettled life so far, so he is looking for a quiet and predictable home, with owners around all the time initially whilst he settles in. He will need adopters who are prepared to do all of his basic training, including house training, and a secure garden will be needed for this. He could live with a sensible, confident adult dog to show him the ropes and he could live with children, pending everyone getting along together. Due to his breed's natural prey drive, we would avoid homing him with cats or small furries.

Monica and Phoebe are both 5 years old and have such a lovely friendship so we would love to see them go into their home together. Once Phoebe has met you, she is a super affectionate girl and will always seek out her humans for attention and cuddles which helps Monica build relationships with people and gives her the confidence to come over and interact with people. They both enjoy having toys to play with and phoebe will carry one around with her a lot of the time unless her and Monica are receiving tasty treats. Mental enrichment such as Licky mats, snuffle mats etc will be good for both to help build confidence and to give them fun activities at home. Monica and Phoebe are such sweet girls who we cannot wait to see go into their forever homes and receive all the TLC that they deserve! (Dogs Trust Darlington)

Flynn is looking for an adult only home to settle into. He prefers a quieter environment as he is a sensitive soul who is lacking in confidence with handling and other dogs. Potentially he could love with another pooch pal that is fairly quiet but will be just as happy enjoying the home comforts whilst his dog social skills are worked on outside of the home. A home with minimal leaving hours and a garden will be ideal so he has company and someone around to help with his on going training. His new family will be asked to visit Flynn a few times before he packs his yellow bag to help build up a budding friendship. (Dogs Trust)

Quincey is an 12 week old cutie, who is on the look out for his forever family. He could live children aged 10 and over as loud noises he can find a little spooky, due to being blind. Though this certainly doesn’t stop him and his is a full of fun little pooch. He will need all the basic training which he has started in his foster home continuing with his new family. Quincey could live with another playful pooch or would be equally as happy with walking pals to show him the way. (Credit: Dogs Trust)
