Dog lovers looking for a new best friend will be happy to learn there are dozens of dogs up for adoption in Darlington.

Dogs Trust Darlington have plenty of rescue dogs looking for a forever home this month.

We have compiled a list of eight pups hoping to bring some light into their new owner's lives.

George and Spud

These inseparable buds, both Jack Russell Terrier crosses, are looking for a home where they can spend their golden years together.

At 10 years old, George and Spud still enjoy their walks but prefer quieter areas due to their vocal nature around other dogs.

These two are ideal for families with older primary school-aged children.

They are house-trained and would appreciate a garden to explore.

George loves his treats, while Spud adores his soft toys. They are affectionate companions looking for a loving, peaceful home.

Raven

Raven, a young Dutch Shepherd under six months old, is full of energy and potential.

She needs a family committed to continuing her training and providing plenty of mental stimulation.

Raven is best suited to a home with older teens and no young children, as she is still learning to be comfortable around them.

With a secure garden for play and close-to-home adventures, Raven will thrive with a family ready to help her grow into a well-rounded dog.

Harlo

At 9 years old, Harlo, a gentle Lurcher, is seeking a home where he can relax and be showered with attention.

Harlo is happy to live with another quiet dog and primary school-aged children who enjoy giving him gentle fuss.

Despite his age, Harlo still loves playing fetch and going for leisurely walks. He’s a sweet-natured dog who will bring joy and companionship to a loving home.

Bruno

Bruno, a five-to-seven-year-old Mastiff Cross, is a calm and loving dog who needs a quiet home where he can feel secure.

Bruno is dog-friendly and can live with another dog or enjoy a doggy social group.

He’s best suited to a home with older children and prefers local walks due to his dislike of car travel.

Bruno’s gentle nature will shine through after a few meetings, making him a loyal and loving companion.

Emmett and Felix

This duo of Lhasa Apsos, both over 8 years old, are looking for a retirement home where they can enjoy their senior years together.

They are comfortable around other dogs and secondary school-aged children who respect their space.

Emmett gains confidence from Felix, and they enjoy short walks followed by long naps.

These sweet companions are ready for a quiet home filled with love and comfort.

Scarlett
