Dogs Trust Glasgow is currently looking for countryside and rural homes for twelve dogs looking for a forever home.
The charity say they are looking for new owners in 'quiet areas' that are 'away from neighbouring dogs'.
They added that the majority of people who get in touch looking for a dog 'that can cope with going to public parks, doggy day care, being around strangers, children and other dogs', but that 'for a lot of our dogs this busy life is not for them'.
Charity bosses say the dogs require 'regular routines' and 'a much quieter life with minimum interaction with strangers'.

Sandra Downie, Glasgow Rehoming Centre Manager 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. At present we have a dozen dogs that have to be rehomed in quiet locations away from neighbouring dogs.
“Our Rehoming Centre in Uddingston is located in quite a built-up area. The majority of people who get in touch with us are looking for a dog that can cope with going to public parks, doggy day care, being around strangers, children and other dogs. For a lot of our dogs this busy life is not for them. 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.
“One such dog is Jack Russell Terrier Arthur, who is an independent older boy who needs a home with few visitors as strangers worry him. Arthur takes his time to get to know new people, but once the bond is made, his sweet nature shines through.
“It is so important that through our thorough behaviour and veterinary assessments, we match each individual dog to the right person. We hope that by appealing for people in rural locations to get in touch, we will find the perfect forever homes for all of our dogs that will greatly benefit from the quiet life.”
Dogs needing rehomed by Glasgow Dog's Trust
Jupiter, Two-year-old, Dobermann cross
Jupiter is a 2 year old Dobermann cross that initially came as a stray and was rehomed to a busy family home. He was returned to Dog's Trust care as it wasn't the right home environment for him.
Jupiter needs a committed owner with previous experience of owning a dog as an adult is essential, as he looks to continue training. His new home should be in a rural setting to give him the best chance of settling in.

Terrier Cross, Leo, who is between two and five years old
Leo is an active little lad who is looking for an owner that can keep him busy with training.
If you have previous dog experience, preferably with terriers, and you're looking for a project dog Leo may be the boy for you. Leo will need the right environment to reach his full potential.
He needs a rural environment where he can relax. Given time and dedication he will make a great addition to his next home.
German Shepherd, Haiti, who is between two and five years old
Haiti is a handsome boy who is looking for a home with German Shepherd experience. He is still young and has so much potential but doesn't show off his true personality in kennels as he finds it an overwhelming environment.
He will likely require help to settle into home life, so a family who are committed to working on any necessary training he may need using positive, reward-based methods is a must. He is a very loving dog and will make a great companion given the time and support he needs.

Jack Russell Terrier, Arthur, who is over eight years old
Arthur is an independent older gent who is looking for a home where he can have some space and enjoy retirement.
