The Peterborough Telegraph is running regular spotlights on dogs that need new homes to support the work of animal charities in the Peterborough area.
The Peterborough and District Branch of the RSPCA do so much to rescue, nurture and subsequently rehome dogs in the area. They have continued to operate throughout lockdown and within a small radius are still permitted to rehome these animals.
Below are a selection of those that have been rescued and are in need of their forever home.
To find more details on each dog and to search for more rescue animals, visit www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/rehomeapet/process.
The RSPCA are funded entirely by public donations and receive no government money and therefore rely on the generosity of the public. Anyone wishing to support their work do so via www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/donate.
5. Nobby - Staffordshire Bull Terrier (10 years)
Nobby is one of a kind, he is such an amazing character. He loves a back massage and an arm pit tickle!! He is very good on lead, he doesn't pull and he will occasionally do his happy bark to let you know how much fun he is having. He also knows some basic commands. Nobby is a typical Staffordshire bull terrier who absolutely loves Breakfast, dinner and snack times. After playing with his football this lovely boy adores nothing more than snuggling on his bed with his favourite human. Photo: Midlands
6. Molly - Crossbreed/unknown (6 years)
Molly (or Big Molly as we call her behind her back), came into our care last summer. Her owners had called us to collect a dog that couldn't walk, it was quickly realised that Molly couldn't walk simply because she was so obese, her poor legs couldn't take the weight she was carrying. After a strict diet and lots of exercise Molly has lost an amazing 16 kilo's, now she loves to go on her walkies showing off her new waistline :) Photo: Midlands
7. Zeus - Alaskan Malamute (2 years)
Zeus was found as a stray and has little to no training for such a big dog. When we say he is big we mean 55 kilos! He is extremely friendly but as he has not had any training he needs to learn some manners when walking. Someone with experience and is able to handle a dog of this size would be ideal.

8. Tia - Crossbreed/unknown (6-12 months)
Tia is a bouncy girl who enjoys long walks, or big play sessions in our compound. She needs some help and encouragement with her basic training and lead manner and so would benefit from an experienced owner who has the time to continue with her training. Because of her energy levels, she would be best suited to an active adult only home. Tia would need to be the only pet in the home but she would be able to walk with other furry friends while out and about. Photo: Midlands
