We take a look at eight dogs that are currently looking for their forever home at the RSPCA York, Harrogate and District branch…

5. Kevin
Kevin is a 14-month-old Dogue de Bordeaux who is a sweet but very shy boy that came to the centre via an inspector after being seized as part of a prosecution case. After lengthy legal proceedings, Kevin is now ready to find himself a loving new home. Kevin has had such a troubled start to life and this has left him very nervous of people he does not know and new surroundings. He has been having some training to help with this whilst at the centre and his adopters will need to continue with this to help him succeed with his transition into a new home. Once Kevin has built up a bond with his people, he really is a very sweet, friendly and truly marvellous dog. Photo: RSPCA
6. Shaun
Shaun is a three-year-old Shih Tzu Cross who came to the centre via an inspector after he was found abandoned in a field along with two other dogs in an appalling condition. Understandably, the neglect and abuse inflicted on him by his previous owners has left him very nervous of both people and new situations and surroundings. With lots of TLC and patience, Shaun is slowly learning to trust and starting to enjoy life. He will need very understanding adopters who will help him overcome his insecurities and show him he can trust humans. Photo: RSPCA
7. Dizzy
Dizzy is a German Shepherd is a very sweet girl who came to the centre after being found living in terrible conditions. She along with other dogs were being kept in cramp cages in a van. Dizzy was very underweight when she arrived and had an untreated ear condition. It quickly became very apparent to the staff at the centre that Dizzy is actually deaf. She is now in the process of learning sign language. Dizzy is a super sweet, affectionate and friendly girl who has come through her ordeal and is now looking towards a brighter future. She really does deserve the most wonderful home with a family who will love her unconditionally. Photo: RSPCA
8. Buster
Buster is a two-year-old Lurcher who is a lovely boy that came to the centre as sadly his previous owner became unwell and could no longer keep him. Buster is a young, active and happy go lucky kind of guy who just lives life to the max. He has the most amazing smile and can make you smile no matter what kind of day you are having. Buster will make the family lucky enough to adopt him a really wonderful friend. Photo: RSPCA
