However, when it comes to dogs that wear muzzles, they typically spend longer time in the charity’s care before finding their forever home - and bosses want this to change. Many budding dog owners may be puzzled as to why dogs wear muzzles in the first place - but Dogs Trust is hoping to remove the negative stigma surrounding them and encourage people to adopt them into their home with open arms. There are many reasons why a dog might wear a muzzle including: Here are just four dogs waiting for their forever home in Darlington: Mac, Crossbreed Mac (Image: DOGS TRUST DARLINGTON) Six-year-old Mac is a beautiful boy inside and out.
His wonderful character shines through the more you get to know him. Mac wears a muzzle when out on his walks and this enables him to enjoy walks with his doggie friends, especially his girlfriends who he likes to play with. Maggie, Lurcher Maggie wearing her muzzle (Image: DOGS TRUST DARLINGTON) Three-year-old Maggie is a long-legged and loyal Lurcher who is playful and energetic.
Maggie spent her formative years in kennels so can lack in confidence when meeting new people. Maggie wears a muzzle on walks as she can be worried by other dogs. She has an affectionate nature and would love a home with a secure garden area in which to play.
