It’s much more common for older dogs to fill animal rescue shelters, but sometimes younger dogs find themselves in the unfortunate position of looking for a new home so early into their lives.
If you’re in the position to welcome a young dog into your home, why not consider adopting a rescue puppy instead of one from a breeder?
Take a look below to see the puppies in Sussex waiting to find a loving family.
For more information about any of the dogs below, please contact the organisation taking care of it: RSPCA, Raystede, Arundawn, Clymping Dog Sanctuary, Rescue Remedies Dog Rescue.
1. Dora - Rescue Remedies
Dora is nearly four months old. She is the smallest of her litter but her foster carers have said her personality is huge. She will be neutered on maturity with a contract with the rescue, microchipped and vaccinated. Photo: Rescue Remedies
2. Cora - Rescue Remedies
Cora is Dora's sister, and is the largest, yet calmest, of her three siblings. Her foster carer has said she is the first to finish meals and the first to ask for cuddles. Photo: Rescue Remedies
3. Jake - Raystede
Seven-month-old Jake is a new arrival at Raystede and is currently awaiting assessment while settling in. So far, the rescue has found that he is a friendly boy and enjoys being active. He could possibly live with sensible older children and may enjoy living with a well-matched dog. However, he cannot live with cats. Jake would also love access to his own garden. Photo: Raystede
4. Teddy - RSPCA
Ten-month-old Teddy is a large lovable boy. He can be nervous of meeting new people or being in new situations but once he bonds to you he is your best friend. He likes other dogs but, due to his size, he can sometimes be too much for them. He will need adopters that have had previous large breed experience and who are willing to be patient and show Teddy that the world is not scary. Photo: RSPCA
