These five dogs at Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary are looking for forever homes - could it be with you?

The sanctuary rehomes up to 500 animals every year and has found 27,000 animals a new home since it opened over 50 years ago.

If you think you would be able to rehome one of them go to the Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary website for more details. 

You can also sponsor any of their animals or donate to the charity's vital work.

Lincoln

Gender - Male

Age - 1 year old

Breed - Border Collie

Lincoln is on the lookout for a forever home - could you give him one?

This super-smart collie already knows lots of tricks and loves to learn. 

This friendly pup is deaf so potential adopters need to learn Lincoln’s hand signals.

His future owner needs to be prepared to work with a reactive dog and give him time to settle. 

He can live with other dogs if they are calm and confident but not with children or cats.

Gender - Male

Age - 6 years old

Breed - Chihuahua

Meet Ziggy - a little nervous but completely adorable Chihuahua that you could give a forever home. 

He's a great walker and he's not a yappy dog either. 

While he is clean in the home, Ziggy should not live with any other pets or children under 16. 

His new home needs to be quiet to allow him to settle and should have a private garden with a 4ft fence (or barrier) all around.

Find out how you can adopt Ziggy.

Bengie

Gender - Male

Age - 3 years old

Breed - French Bulldog

As you can see, Bengie is incredibly handsome and is very friendly around people.

He needs to be the only pet in the home but is well-behaved around other dogs on walks and can live with children aged 14 and over.

After surgery on both ears, he is almost totally deaf which means there are a lot of needs any prospective owner will need to consider when giving him a forever home.

Benjie requires a set routine without too many distractions in the home and his new owners will need to bring him back for sanctuary-covered vet checks relating to his post-operative ear surgery and forthcoming airway surgery 2-3 months after adopting.

His new owner should give him minimal walks daily and not over-exert him and they should be financially secure enough to afford ongoing vet bills.
