Here are six dogs from the East Midlands-based branch of the UK's largest dog welfare charity.

5. Bucky
Meet Bucky, an American Akita with a big personality who is looking for an experienced, adult-only home where he can be the only pet. He needs a dedicated family who can be around most of the day while he settles in, and someone mindful of his love for food by keeping him out of the kitchen during cooking. Although reserved when first meeting new people, Bucky is very affectionate once he knows you, is already housetrained, travels well in the car, and enjoys communicating with his voice and making calm walking friends once he's settled.

6. Lemmy
Also looking for his new home is Lemmy, a high-energy dog Welsh Corgi Cross who is looking for a quiet, adult-only home as the only pet, featuring a secure garden where he can run and play fetch. He needs a patient family willing to take a hands-off approach to handling initially while he adjusts to home life after spending a long time in kennels. Lemmy also needs someone around most of the day at first so his leaving hours can be gradually built up to 3-4 hours once he has settled in. Photo: Dogs Trust
