Dr Samantha Gaines, RSPCA dog welfare expert, said there was ‘unprecedented interest’ nationally in rehoming dogs during the coronavirus lockdowns.
In 2020, in Nottinghamshire 131 dogs were rehomed.
Many centres received hundreds of applications – some dogs were snapped up even before they had been advertised online.
While most were rehomed, some were sadly overlooked.
This ‘Adoptober’, the RSPCA wants to find homes for all the dogs that remain at RSPCA centres.
Could you help give a home to one of these adorable pooches seen here…?

5. Gentle giant Kelly is looking for a forever home with a family who will love her
Meet Kelly - she is an eight-year-old brindle and white Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed, described as a “truly beautiful little lady, a proper puppy at heart, and full of beans." She is personable and friendly, and has happily been around children and other dogs. She does become quite anxious and stressed when left alone and will require some work from her new owners. She is almost house trained, could live with children of secondary school age, may be able to live with another dog, but prefers not to live with a cat. She is a gentle giant who loves fuss and attention. See: https://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/details/-/Animal/KELLY/ref/BSA2106552/rehome Photo: RSPCA
