THESE handsome little beauties are among 11 Jack Russell dogs that are in need of a home.
The mixture of dogs and bitches have been taken in by the Second Chance Rescue Kennels, in Chellaston, in the past two months.
Jo Fairbrother, who runs the centre, said she had seen an influx of the breed which she says have an unfair reputation as being "snappy".
Now she is hoping loving families will come forward to help.
Ms Fairbrother said: "I think Jack Russells have a reputation as being snappy, which couldn't be further from the truth.
"They love nothing more than walking in the countryside because they have this huge amount of energy."
