With less than three weeks until Christmas, the Dogs Trust is on a mission to find the dogs in its care the one gift they all want – a home for life.
The Dogs Trust penned the famous phrase “A Dog is for Life, Not Just for Christmas” back in 1978, and they are looking for people to share their Christmas and their life with a pooch this festive season.
Big-hearted potential dog owners will be happy to adopt a pet that is looking for a new forever home after perhaps not having the best start in life.
To see if you’re a potential match, just fill in an application form here with all your details and let the Dogs Tust match you up with a suitable pet.
They’ll then look at how closely your lifestyle matches the needs of the dog and, if you’re a great fit for your selected animal, they’ll invite you to meet your prospective pup.
They may also organise a home check to make sure it’s suitable for your new family member.
You can also pop into the rehoming centre before submitting the application to see the dogs beforehand.
Here are 13 of the dogs currently looking for a home.

13. Joe and Amy
Joe is a 3 year old Chihuahua who is looking for a home along with bestest friend Amy who is an 11 year old Chihuahua. Joe and Amy love to go on little walks together and once back home will happily snuggle up on their favourite doughnut bed together. Amy does have a heart murmur and whilst this does not impact her day she will need a family that will be happy to continue with her ongoing medication. Joe can be nervous of new people so will need his family and Amy to help build his confidence both in the home and out on walks. Joe and Amy are looking to be the only pets in an adult only home. | Dogs Trust
