As the new year gets underway we are featuring ten dogs from Dog's Trust Kenilworth who are looking for their "forever home" in 2026.

From Pointers to German Shepherds there is a huge selection of pets in need of a new family this year.

Dog's Trust said: "If you are interested in giving a dog their happy place this Christmas and beyond, Dogs Trust Kenilworth is open to the public five days a week, and you don't need an appointment to visit, meet dogs looking for homes, get advice or apply to adopt. 

"As every dog is unique, finding the perfect match can take anything from a few weeks to several months.

"You only need to apply once every three months, and the charity will do all it can to find the right dog for you, however long it takes."

Connie

One-year-old crossbreed Connie is looking for a new home.

Connie has spent a short time in a home environment where she was mostly housetrained so she will need adopters who can help continue her positive training.

Connie absolutely loves people and loves to make friends wherever she goes.

"Tilly is a sweet, affectionate girl who can be a little worried at times but has grown in confidence since coming into our care," Dog's Trust said.

"She has previously lived in a home, where she was housetrained and good to be left alone for a couple of hours, although this may need a gentle refresher as she settles into a new routine."

She is a Collie (Border) Cross who may live with children of secondary school age.

Cooper

Four-year-old Beagle Cooper is a bit sensitive and prefers a hands-off approach.
