- BY RHIAN LUBIN

Arieo, 4, & Putee, 3

Russian wolfhounds, Leeds These gentle giants are very affectiona­te once they know you, and as a bonded pair, they should be homed together.

They need their own large secure outdoor space/paddock and experience­d owners with a big car. They could live with older children aged 16 and above but can’t live with other pets. Contact: www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/ dogs/dog/1243015/arieo

Shadow, 8, & Savanagh, 6

Husky cross malamute, Glasgow This inseparabl­e mum and daughter arrived after their owner became ill.

They are looking for an active owner with children over the age of 12, who have experience of owning a dog, preferably of a similar breed. Must be rehomed together and cats are a no-no.

Brodie, 2

Chihuahua, West Sussex This little lad hasn’t had the best start in life and can be frightened of new people and other dogs but is affectiona­te and sweet.

He’d like a quiet, adult-only home in a rural area with experience­d owners.

He loves to use his nose so would benefit from scent work, continued training and mental stimulatio­n.

Paddy, 9

Akita, Merseyside Paddy is an easy-going Akita who loves great walks and is always excited to see human pals.

He would like to be the only dog in an adultonly home and he is happy to be left by himself for a while once he has had a nice walk. Contact: www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/ dogs/dog/1237395/paddy

Hector, 1

American bulldog, West Yorkshire This is a big, strong dog who is looking for an owner with experience with large breeds. He’d like a calm and quiet, adult-only home and his owners must be non-smokers as he is unsettled by smoke. Contact: info@rspcaleeds andwakefie­ld org.uk or call 0113 253 6952

Magic, 5

Crossbreed, Hertfordsh­ire Magic is a sweet girl who really enjoys human company so will benefit from having someone around most of the time.

She needs a quiet, adultonly home with no other pets and a large, secure garden where she can burn off energy, with owners who have experience working with and managing behavioura­l quirks. southridge@rspca.org.uk

Pedro, 9

Great Dane mastiff cross, Southport, Merseyside Pedro is a strong lad but a big friendly softie and loves having company so would like owners who will be around for most of the day.

He loves to potter and sniff and walks well on the lead once he’s settled, enjoying the company of other dogs out and about.

Ideally he needs owners who have large breed experience and who can give him all of the attention he craves. He could live with a female dog. info@rspcasouth­port.co.uk

THERE’S only one thing these lovable dogs want for Christmas – a home.

So this year we’ve teamed up with the RSPCA and Dogs Trust to help these pooches find their happy ever after... rhian.lubin@mirror.co.uk @rhianlubin

Rocket, 3

Lurcher, Kenilworth, Warks

He is friendly, full of life and super-fast in all he does, so he will need owners who are happy to keep up with him.

Rocket is suited to a home where people are around most of the day. Owners will need to give him things to keep him occupied.

He would like an adult-only home and quiet walk areas. Contact: www.dogstrust.org. uk/rehoming/dogs/ dog/1237796/rocket

Indy, 2

Rottweiler cross, West Calder, West Lothian An excitable young dog who loves long walks and playing with her toys, Indy finds urban life overwhelmi­ng and longs to find a nice rural home.

She needs an experience­d owner who has owned similar breeds before and someone who’s happy to continue with her training. Indy will need an adultonly home and company during the day. Contact: www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/ dog/1235444/indy

Snowy, 2 Lurcher, Essex

He’s a fun-loving and affectiona­te dog who needs time to get to know new people.

He has Addison’s disease, meaning his body can’t produce the adrenaline hormone, which will need to be managed for the rest of his life.

Snowy is best suited to a quiet, calm home with patient owners who can show him that the world isn’t a frightenin­g place. Contact: reception@ danaherani­malhome. org.uk

Princess & Bridget, both 3

Terrier and bulldog respective­ly, Hants Princess is small in stature but has a big personalit­y, while bulldog cross Bridget is a goofy, gentle giant.

They are the best of friends and must be rehomed together. They’d like to be the only pets in their new home, but could live with older children. Contact: www.stubbingto­nark.org.uk/ adoption/dog/11555/ or call 01329 667541

Clodagh, 2

Crossbreed, Snetterton, Norfolk

She loves toys and is really affectiona­te with known people. Clodagh is friendly with other dogs and enjoys socialisin­g out on walks, but she will be best as the only pet in the home. Fun to train and knows basic commands.

Clodagh is nervous around men, so she’d love to find a female adopter. She would best suit a home with children aged 16 or older and a garden to play in as she is an active girl. And it’s best not to leave her alone for too long. Contact: www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/ dog/1238813/clodagh
