Canines big and small are currently under the care of RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire. They include a couple of huskies, an Italian greyhound, four bulldogs and two Staffies.
Dogs make faithful companions and offer a great opportunity to improve your health by taking more exercise.

9. Rose
Rose is a two-year-old Italian greyhound who is dainty, sensitive and looking for a home where she will be coddled and cuddled. Small but full of fun, she could live with children aged 6-10 years and maybe in a household that already has a dog and/or a cat. Rose can be left on her own for short periods but would benefit from some basic training. Photo: Chesterfield and North Derbyshire RSPCA
10. Zak
Zak is a seven-month-old Siberian husky. Adorably tiny by husky standards, he fizzes with energy and is sociable with everyone he meets. Zak is a bright spark who will need an experienced owner to give him the basic training he needs. He could live with children aged 11-15 years in a home with another dog but preferably one without a cat. Photo: Chesterfield and North Derbyshire RSPCA
11. Stanley
Stanley is a seven-year-old cross breed. He is personable and friendly despite his past existence in a scrapyard where his life was bound by barbed wire, bricks and brutality. A large dog, he loves going for walks, playing with toys and games and would benefit from some basic training. Stanley would prefer an adult-only household and to be the only pet in the home.

12. Fred
Fred is a two-year-old Staffy cross breed. He is as strong as an ox but has a soft heart. A very clever dog who is always on the go, Fred is stranger friendly and will need an experienced owner to give him some basic training. He would prefer an adult-only household where he is the only animal in the home. Photo: Chesterfield and North Derbyshire RSPCA
