Meet the rescue dogs looking to escape to the country in search of forever homes

The team at Dogs Trust Darlington is currently caring for an array of pawsome pooches that are looking to escape to the country for their forever homes.

Whether home is a country cottage, bungalow, or farmhouse, Dogs Trust Darlington has lots of dogs seeking new owners who live in quiet rural locations.

Dogs Trust aims to find all dogs a loving forever family. Staff carry out thorough behavioural and veterinary assessments and get to know every dog’s likes and dislikes so that each dog can be matched to the right home.

Many dogs in the charity’s care would greatly benefit from finding their forever home in the countryside. These include dogs that have experienced an unsettled or neglected past, that are uncomfortable or worried around other dogs or that lack confidence and don’t like loud noises. These also include ‘Underdogs’ which is the term given to any dog that has spent more than six months in Dogs Trust care. Underdogs may have simply been overlooked or may require extra training or ongoing veterinary treatment.

Alex Hennessey, Manager at Dogs Trust Darlington said: “It’s not just humans who want to escape to the country. Lots of our fantastic dogs are seeking new homes in rural areas. We currently have 14 dogs that would all hugely benefit from being rehomed in quiet locations away from neighbouring dogs.

“Many potential adopters are looking for a dog that can cope with being walked in public parks, going to doggy day care and are comfortable around other people and dogs, but for some of our dogs, this busy life is not for them. Instead, they require regular routines and a much quieter life with minimum interaction with strangers, which includes being exercised in areas that are largely free from other dogs.

“We hope by highlighting some of our amazing dogs looking for the quiet life, we can find them their perfect matches.”
