Dogs Trust Loughborough has various breeds available for adoption this January.
Here are six dogs from the East Midlands-based branch of the UK's largest dog welfare charity.
Since publication, some of these dogs may have been reserved or rehomed so be sure to check availability by visiting www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/our-centres/loughborough.
If you are interested in rehoming any of these dogs, please contact [email protected] for more information.
1. Jago
Jago is an affectionate Lurcher who would love to be the only pet in an adult-only home where he can lay next to you and get lots of fuss. He needs a quiet environment with low footfall due to a sensitivity to noises. Jago is looking for walks in low dog-populated areas while he continues to work on his dog socialisation with full support from the centre. Photo: Dogs Trust
2. Ella
Meet Ella, an active and expressive Siberian Husky who is looking to be the only pet in a home with young adults aged 15 and over. While prior Husky experience is not essential, her new family must research the breed and be fully prepared for husky quirks, she has a voice and she loves using it! She walks very well on a lead, loves travelling in the car, and is now ready to find her own forever home after raising her puppies. Photo: Dogs Trust
3. Sammy
Sammy is an adorable and playful Collie who loves toys and attention in equal measure. He is looking for a quiet home in a low-traffic location without lots of visitors, as he can be shy around new people and vocal about passing activity. Sammy needs an outgoing, active family ready for fun adventures who understands his breed and will invest time into keeping his busy, sensitive brain happily occupied with plenty of mental and physical outlets.

4. Squash
Meet Squash, an excitable and friendly 1-to-2-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross who loves people and is looking for a home where everyone is over the age of 16. He needs a private garden and a dedicated family who can be around most of the time initially to help him settle in and slowly build up his alone-time hours. Because Squash struggles and can become easily frustrated around other dogs, he will need a patient family willing to help him work on his social skills in quieter walking areas. Photo: Dogs Trust
