Seven vegetable-themed pooches are desperate for new homes.

Nicknamed the Veg Pups, the lurcher siblings, who are around two years old, have spent most of their lives in care across four different centres.

Originally, 18 pups were rescued aged just 12 weeks and taken into care by the RSPCA.

Due to ongoing legal processes they have had an extended stay in care.

Some moved to different RSPCA centres across the UK, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Seven of the siblings are still waiting for their happily ever after, having spent most of their young lives in kennels.

Rocket, Artichoke, Swede and Carrot are at Felledge, in Chester Le Street, Durham, Rosemary is at Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, Broccoli is at Lancashire East and Sweet Pea is at Bryn-y-Maen, Conwy.

Staff all share the same goal – to find them a loving forever home.

Luka Atkinson, Deputy Manager at Felledge Animal Centre, said: “Sadly these lurchers have all been overlooked for a long time now.

“We really can’t figure out why, as they’re all such wonderful dogs.

“It could be because of their sighthound heritage people may think they have bags of energy and will need endless walks, but they can actually be very docile.

“Many lurchers actually love nothing more than curling up on a comfy sofa or bed.

“Brindle-coloured Rocket is friendly, playful girl and loves to play with other dogs.

“Her sister Carrot is very sociable with other dogs too and very fond of people.

“Artichoke, affectionately known as Arti, loves people and brings so much joy to everyone he meets.

“While boy Swede is currently thriving in a foster home, where he gets on fantastically with his foster carer’s resident pooch.

“Rosemary is looking for a new family who can teach her about the world – she can be a little unsure around new people, but once she knows you she’s a fun and active companion.

“Cheeky Broccoli is full of character and excited by anything fun – including toys, snacks and his favourite people, often greeting his carers with a wiggly play bow and lots of kisses.

“And last but not least, ray of sunshine Sweet Pea is a friendly, affectionate and sometimes silly girl who loves zoomies and chasing toys.

“Despite their tough start, all these veg lurchers are incredibly sweet natured and we know they’d all thrive in the right home environments with a loving family who are suited to their needs.

“Given their long stay in kennels, they can understandably struggle with sights and sounds in new environments, so they’ll need adopters who are gentle, understanding and willing to work with them – but they are all gaining confidence every day have so much love to give, it’ll be worth it for any potential owners.

“With most of their siblings now in their forever home, we’d love the final seven to get their happy endings too.”

To express an interest in any of the pooches, please visit their individual Find a Pet pages on the RSPCA website or contact the centres directly.
