The Star has looked through two South Yorkshire animal shelters this week to give you a round-up of their sweet dogs that are up for adoption.
Some of them are ready to jump straight on your sofa for a snooze, while others might require a bit more patience as you help them recover from past trauma.
Many of them would be able to live in households with children and other pets, while others would be the best companion for a single person, or couples.
Whatever your circumstance, there is bound to be a dog below for you.
If any of these sweet pups catch your eye, simply visit either Helping Yorkshire Poundies or Blue Cross’s websites to find out how to register your interest.
Here are 15 dogs available for adoption this week in South Yorkshire.
Many of them would be able to live in households with children and other pets, while others would be the best companion for a single person, or couples.
![Clover is being cared for by Helping Yorkshire Poundies. She is aged around two years old, and is a medium sized Lurcher. She is friendly with everyone she meets, and needs a special home. She is very smart and struggled to 'switch off'. She needs regular rest time in her cosy crate. She has a strong prey drive and cannot live with other pets. She is reactive to dogs, and needs to be kept on lead for her walks, and will need a secure garden without any visible neighbouring dogs. The charity is happy to provide help with the cost of a behaviourist to help her.](https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/jpim-static/2024/06/21/11/36/clover.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=768)

![Franklin is a lovely two-year-old goofy puppy who is desperate to find a breed-experienced, confident home after being at Helping Yorkshire Poundies. His main issues lie with his lead walks. He cannot cope with walks in busy areas and needs a home in the countryside so he can be safely managed on walks. He is fully housetrained and can be left for a few hours with no issues. He loves to run and play with other larger breed dogs. He will need a child-free home and will need careful introductions to visitors. He could live with a friendly, big, female dog.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjU4MzY1Mjc1LTk0ZGMtNGM4Mi04ZGVjLTg2NDdkMjM1NTQ5ZDpmYTJjMTk1My0yZDI3LTRmODctYmVhNy1kY2EyZmVmYmUzYTU=.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=768)

![Bodhi is a nine-year-old, very handsome, medium-large boy. He arrived at Helping Yorkshire Poundies' shelter in terrible shape. It took time to build up Bodhi’s trust, but he has transformed into a loveable, playful goofball, full of kisses and cuddles. But, Bodhi does not trust strangers, and needs very slow and careful introductions to anyone new. When Bodhi loves you, he really loves you and you’re his for life. He is a very intelligent boy, fully housetrained, and he can be left alone for up to six hour periods at a time while he snuggles on the sofa. He needs medication for a skin allergy. He will need walks in quiet countryside where he can use his nose.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2023/11/24/15/40/bodhi.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)
