Right now, 15 dogs at Dogs Trust East Midlands are waiting for something simple but life-changing — a loving home in Nottinghamshire.
Each one has their own story, but they all share the same hope: to find stability, care, and someone they can finally trust.
At the centre, you’ll find all kinds of dogs - from lively young pups bursting with energy to calm, older companions who just want a quiet place to rest. Some will love long walks through Nottinghamshire’s parks; others will thrive in peaceful homes with patient, kind owners.
The team at Dogs Trust Loughborough gives every dog the best possible start — from health checks to behaviour support and individual care. But nothing compares to the warmth of a real home.
If you live in Nottinghamshire and have room in your heart (and home) for loyalty, laughter, and unconditional love, adopting one of these 15 dogs could change both your lives.
All rehoming is done by appointment to ensure every match is right. You can see the dogs waiting for adoption and start your journey on the Dogs Trust Loughborough website.
Because every dog deserves more than shelter — they deserve a future.
1. Pingu
Pingu, a five-year-old Crossbreed, is a friendly and delightful companion. He enjoys spending time with people and often stops to greet those he meets, giving them a big sniff. Pingu has two main passions: long, sniffy walks and adventures where he can stretch his legs. He gets excited at the sight of his favourite soft toy or a tennis ball. Pingu can live with older teenagers but gets nervous around other dogs, so he would prefer to be the only pet in the home. More at www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/crossbreed/1241517.

2. Athena
1 year old Athena is very sociable with new people, but she can struggle socialising with other dogs and is currently learning how to manage her emotions with our onsite trainers, which will be thoroughly supported as she transitions into her new home! Athena can be left for up to 3-4 hours once settled in her new home. She could live with young adults aged 15+ but must be the only pet in the home. | Dogs Trust
3. Holly
Holly is a marvellous four-year-old Mastiff Cross with a friendly face, causing so many instantly warm to her. Holly still thinks she is a puppy and her excitement and enthusiasm when meeting new people can sometimes be hard to contain – so is looking for confident, active owners.

4. Nova - Terrier Cross
Nova is looking for an adult only home, where she can be the only pet with a secure garden to stretch her legs! Nova can have doggy walking friends out of the house. She would enjoy her next family to be able to provide her with lots of mental stimulation. Nova will need her future family to be around for her whilst she settles in, she would make a great WFH companion! | Dogs Trust
