The Twelve Dogs of Christmas: Rehome a dog this month
Countrylife.co.uk launches a new series of twelve dogs, all of whom are looking for a wonderful new home this Christmas
Country Life has teamed up with Dogs Trust for a new series in the run up to Christmas, helping twelve dogs in their search for a brand new home and a loving family.
We are proud to announce that our first candidate is the beautiful Lollipop, a five year-old Golden Retriever with a personality as sweet as her name.
Bundles of fun and with a face that would melt any heart, Lollipop is looking for a cosy new home and family to take care of her.

Dogs Trust Harefield Supporter Relations Officer, Sian Fairlie, describes Lollipop as ‘a very clever girl who needs to be kept busy. She loves making new friends, be it canine or human, although she would prefer to be the only dog in her new home as she isn't a big fan on sharing!
‘Lollipop would like a family that can indulge her love of toys and playtime as she would happily fetch all day! She would make a great addition to any lucky home, however she will need a bit of extra TLC to help her settle in.'
If you think you can offer Lollipop the home she needs please contact the team at Dogs Trust Harefield on 01895 453 930 or visit them at Highway Farm, Harvil Road, Harefield, Uxbridge, UB9 6JW.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
For more information on Dogs Trust you can visit their website www.dogstrust.org.uk.
We think all dogs deserve a wonderful home but they are a big responsibility, so please remember not to pick up a dog this Christmas unless they can be financially supported and receive the time and devotion they require.
If you would like to help Country Life and Dogs Trust to spread the message that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas, why not get involved with the Dogs Trust #presspaws campaign.
