This newspaper continues to team up with the Irchester-based Animals in Need charity to help find forever homes for their rescue dogs.
Charity boss Annie Marriott said: "When people adopt a rescue they save two dogs: the dog they take home and the pound dog that gets that empty kennel. Their lives often depend upon it.
"All the dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, ID chips, parasite treated and leave us with four weeks free insurance, a session with Nathan Watson dog behaviourist and rescue back up for their whole life.
"We always do a home check and cannot rehome dogs to families with children under five years."

Below are the dogs that need rehoming this week, with descriptions written by Annie.

5. Leo
We are launching a special appeal to find extraordinary humans to commit to being long-term fosters for some of our VIPs (Very Important Pooches). This privilege is reserved for the elite of dog lovers, as it involves caring for two very handsome golden oldies who, sadly, find themselves in kennels at a time in their lives when they should be enjoying their golden years in a cozy, warm home. If you’d like to learn more about these distinguished gentlemen, Patch (previous picture) and Leo, and what’s involved in being a foster parent, or if you’re ready to offer a comfy bed to one of these special boys, please contact us via email for more information.

7. Hallie
Hallie is a one-year-old Crossbreed with a knack for escaping, as she can scale high fences. She struggles with separation anxiety, which may be due to the stress of kennel life. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can be possessive around food, so feeding her separately is recommended. Hallie is strong and tends to pull on the lead but will benefit from ongoing training. She adores people and, once settled in her new home, is sure to become an incredibly loyal companion. Photo: AIN
