This week, four dogs at Dogs Trust Darlington looking for a slice of the quiet life have been highlighted as the trust hopes to find their "perfect matches". Alex Hennessey, Manager at Dogs Trust Darlington said: "It’s not just humans who want to escape to the country; lots of our fantastic dogs are seeking new homes in rural areas. "We currently have 14 dogs that would all hugely benefit from being rehomed in quiet locations away from neighbouring dogs.
"Many potential adopters are looking for a dog that can cope with being walked in public parks, going to doggy day care and are comfortable around other people and dogs, but for some of our dogs, this busy life is not for them. "Instead, they require regular routines and a much quieter life with minimum interaction with strangers, which includes being exercised in areas that are largely free from other dogs. "We hope by highlighting some of our amazing dogs looking for the quiet life, we can find them their perfect matches.
" Here are just four dogs looking for new homes - can you offer them a new life? Bailey Two-year-old Lurcher Bailey is described as a "sweet girl" who does lack a little in confidence. Despite being on the shy side, it's said that her playful side makes an appearance soon enough when you make friends with her. Bailey the lurcher.
