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.
5. Shadow - terrier cross
Shadow is a handsome and loveable chap, who makes friends everywhere he goes! He is looking for a family with low leaving hours so he can spend most of his time with them and help him build his leaving hours up slowly. He can live with children 8 years old and above and with a confident cat. Shadow absolutely loves his walks and going out on adventures but equally adores having a cuddle and snooze on the sofa. | Dogs Trust
6. Jago
Jago is looking for a home where he will be the only pet and where there aren’t any children under the age of 12 years old. He can be left alone for 3-4 hours with the potential for that to be built up once settled in and would love a garden but it isn’t essential. | Dogs Trust
7. Digby
Digby is a friendly Jack Russell Terrier seeking patient adopters to help him adjust to life in his new forever home. He enjoys exploring during his walks but prefers rural areas away from other dogs, as they make him feel worried or nervous. Digby is looking for a quiet, adult-only home where his owners can show him the ropes and allow him to settle in at his own pace. It's important for them to have the patience to understand that Digby may need some time to relax and feel comfortable. See more at www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/terrier-jack-russell/3582240.

8. Gunner
Meet Gunner, an older Foxhound Cross who still has a lively spirit! Gunner is searching for a home with owners who can help him settle in at his own pace and guide him as he adapts. He loves to explore and is eager to learn new things, so training will be an essential part of his routine in his forever home. Gunner is friendly with both humans and other animals, making him a great companion for families with older children, specifically those in secondary school. He can also happily share his home with other pets. Gunner just needs a little help to find his footing. Find out more at www.dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/foxhound/1217214. Photo: Dogs Trust
