Six dogs are looking for their forever home at Darlington Dogs Trust this month.
The dogs, which are of very different breeds, are looking for loving owners to give them the care and attention they need.
While there are 38 dogs currently listed at the regional dog charity, The Northern Echo has put together six of the dogs that are looking for a new owner this month.
The first dog on the list is 10-year-old Olive, who is a Jack Russell Terrier Cross.
She does find a busy environment a bit much so would be best suited to a quieter household with older teens 16yrs+.
She does adore being with people so would like minimal leaving hours and this can be introduced gradually once she has adjusted to her new pad.
A home with a garden would be ideal for Olive where she can enjoy some off-lead time. Peaceful walking routes either close to home or a car ride away would be great for her to explore at her own pace without disturbance.
Olive can have walking pals but will need to be the only pooch in the home.
She does need ongoing medical care.
Next up is Lurcher Flash, who is described as having a playful personality that will always leave a smile on your face.
He would love to find a secure garden to call his own, where he can zoom around with toys or have a snooze in the sun.
Flash enjoys a fuss from his carers and is always excited to greet you. He can find being around other dogs quite stressful, so would need to be walked in quieter areas, though he would be quite happy to hop in the car to go on more peaceful adventures.
Flash will need to be the only pet but might be able to have a few doggy walking pals if this is done gradually and in a specific way.
Another dog looking for their forever home is Ace the Rottweiler.
He'd like for his family to be around throughout the day to help settle him in and build up any alone time. He'll enjoy keeping his mind busy with enrichment games and furthering his basic training.
He can be OTT at times which can result in mouthing behaviour so he'll need positive outlets to help manage this. For this reason, he will need an adult-only home.
He can possibly share walks with another pooch to help with his dog socialisation. He's working on his manners though so would be best as the only pet in the home.
Looking for a new home is Mouse the American Bulldog Cross, who is described as such a fun, bubbly girl once she has come out of her shell and built a bond with you.
She would like to live in a quiet area that won’t have too many dogs walking past the house. Mouse will need to be the only pooch in the home and will prefer to be walked in quiet areas.
She can live with secondary school-aged children (14+) who will give Mouse the space she needs at times.
Mouse will need to have someone around to help her settle in and slowly build her time spent alone after she has had time to adjust to her new environment.

Next up is Jasper the English Springer Spaniel Cross, who is looking for a calm home environment with a garden to enjoy playtimes and activities.
He likes company so would like someone at home throughout the day with him.
Jasper would prefer to live with older teens 16yrs+.
Jasper’s new family will be encouraged to help teach him loose lead work as he is very eager out and about.
In the home, he would prefer to be the only dog and have the home comforts to himself.
Finally, the last dog that we have included is Milo the Beagle, who has been described as a fun lad with a cheeky personality who will need to have someone around to help him settle into his new home and over time begin to introduce any time spent gradually.
He can share his home with secondary school-aged children who are aged 14 and above.
Milo would like to be the only pooch in the home but can have walking pals while out on his adventures.
