Five dogs at Dogs Trust looking for suitable homes with loving owners
We love animals as a nation, and many people looking for a dog hope to rehome one rather than buy a newborn puppy. However, some rehomed animals may have had a tough start to life and can find it difficult to adjust to a new person or family.
But that's not always the case; some furry friends are proven to be great with adults and children. This week, we've taken a look at some dogs at the rehoming charity Dogs Trust in Kenilworth to see which breeds are available for people to purchase.
All the dogs listed below are currently being cared for at Dogs Trust Kenilworth. For more information, visit their website.

Mango - aged 2 to 5 years- is a Terrier (Staffordshire Bull) cross. Dogs Trust says: "She is looking for owners who will enjoy her fantastic quirks as much as we do; she really does bring fun to our day. Mango really loves to be with her favorite people; therefore, she struggles with being left home alone. She would love to find a home where she won't be left for long periods with adopters who can help her learn how to settle and relax.
"Mango is a real whirlwind who zooms her way through life. She can find everything a little over-exciting, so she will need adopters who can help guide her through life and teach her how to be a lovely and polite member of society. Mango could share her new home with children 14+ who are confident around big and bouncy dogs and can understand when Mango needs some time out! At the moment Mango will need to be the only pet, with opportunities for socialisation out and about on her walkies."

Daisy - aged 2 to 5 years, and is a Collie breed. Her carers say, "Daisy is a wonderful girlie looking for a home that can keep her clever brain busy! She loves to learn and already knows some super tricks. Daisy has arrived with us with very little history, so it's likely she may need some help settling into a home environment.
"Daisy is a sweet girl but can find herself a little overwhelmed at first, so she would like patient adopters and home with children 12+ who can understand when she might be feeling a little worried. We're still assessing Daisy with other dogs, so at the moment, she does need to be the only dog; however, this may change in the future."
Nala is a Terrier (Border) aged 2 to 5. Her carers say, "Nala is a sweet little lady searching for her forever home with her best friend Benny. They would love to find a peaceful home together where they can enjoy their adventures.
"They would like a patient adult-only home, with adopters who can visit them a few times before they head off home. Nala isn't a big fan of other dogs, so she would like to have her own secure garden away from any noisy doggy neighbors and access to peaceful walking areas. They both enjoy a car ride to quieter areas, and she's happy to have a helping hand to jump in."
Jean - aged 5 to 7 years, and is a Greyhound. Dogs Trust says: "Jean is a wonderful little lady who is looking for a quiet, peaceful home where she can blossom into the cheeky girlie we love. She can find the world a bit overwhelming, so she would like to find a forever home with patient adopters with children 16+ who can help her explore the world.
"She enjoys her walks in quiet areas as she isn't a big fan of other dogs. She is slowly gaining her confidence in socialising and is slowly learning to share her walks, but this will need to be continued gradually. For this reason, Jean needs to be the only pet in her new home. Jean would love her own garden, where she can zoom around and play safely without having to worry about anything."
Moose - aged 2 to 5 years and is a Crossbreed. Her carers say, "Moose is an amazing boy looking for a really active home with people interested in training and experience with GSDs, lurchers, or other large breeds. He is looking for an adult-only home with minimal visitors while he settles in. Moose can get quite uncomfortable for intense veterinary handling and does need to wear a muzzle when he sees the vet.
"He is also learning how to wear his muzzle while out on a walk, as he can be worried about meeting some new people. Moose is a big, beautiful lad with so much potential, and will need a really committed new home with really patient new owners. Once he gets to know new people, he is full of fun and constantly makes us laugh with his goofy personality."
