Two handsome hounds at Dogs Trust Darlington are longing for their forever love this Valentine’s Day.
Despite stealing the hearts of their canine carers, Ned and Jimmy have still to meet their love match, so the team in Darlington is determined to play cupid by shining a Valentine’s spotlight on the eligible bachelors.
Lurcher Ned is an affectionate, fun-loving and friendly lad who loves walks and chill-out time in equal measure.
Ned is five-years-old and can find life a little overwhelming so is looking for patient and committed owners who he can meet numerous times to build a strong bond before he goes to his forever home.

Jack Russell Terrier Jimmy is a sweet boy who loves to smell the roses and other flowers when on his walks.
Seven-year-old Jimmy is playful, loves an adventure and is happy to travel in the car.
He is longing to meet ‘the one,’ someone who is patient and kind, able to allow him the time to settle into a new home and who will help him continue to learn. This dog’s heart is open and ready for love.
Both Ned and Jimmy require love nests in an adult-only home, where they are the only pet.

Alex Hennessey, Manager at Darlington Rehoming Centre said: “All dogs want to love and be loved, and our fantastic rescue dogs are no different.
“Every dog owner knows, how much companionship, loyalty and love you receive from a dog when you welcome them into your heart and home.
“Ned and Jimmy are wonderful characters and we look forward to love blossoming for them very soon in new homes.
“For anyone not able to commit to rehoming a dog right now, we would encourage them to consider fostering.
“We are always looking for loving foster carers who can care for one of our rescue dogs on a temporary basis in their home until we find them their perfect love match.”

Jack Russell Terriers were the second most rehomed breed by Dogs Trust last year, with Lurcher’s third, so Ned and Jimmy are hoping 2023 is the year they experience true love.
