As well as her famous love of dogs, the Queen also has a special place in her heart for Dogs Trust, having been the charity's Patron since 1990.
To celebrate Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee weekend, Dogs Trust rehoming centres across the country have been throwing doggy parties fit for royalty.
With Union Jack flags galore and dozens of wagging tails, these furry residents have been having fun in the hopes they'll be treated to loving new homes.
Here are eight patriotic pooches ready for families to come and scoop them up this weekend:

Winter at Dogs Trust Leeds

Handsome Winter is an eight-year-old Akita cross.
He's happy doing his own thing, but once he's bonded with you, he will show his true snuggle-monster personality.
Winter requires medication for his legs, so although he's not one for long hikes anymore, he is full of life and will make somebody a wonderful companion.
He'd need a pet-free adult only home, but is happy to be around other dogs when out and about.
If you're prepared to take it slowly to start with then Winter could be your perfect match!
Taz at Dogs Trust Leeds

Despite being 10-years-old, terrier Taz is full of life and energy.
He's an outdoorsy guy and isn't fond of too much hands-on fuss, preferring to come to you on his own terms.
He'd like experienced dog owners to adopt him and would love active owners who can take him on plenty of adventures.
Freddie at Dogs Trust Shoreham

Meet Freddie, a charismatic five-year-old terrier who is very independent.
He'd love to find a family who won't expect too much from him, and understand that he prefers playing fun games, settling in your company or taking part in his training rather than being a lapdog and receiving lots of fuss and affection.
He'd like an adult-home with no other dogs with a large garden so he can explore his kingdom.
Nancy at Dogs Trust Basildon

Nancy is a two-year-old central Asian shepherd cross and, just like the Queen, steals the hearts of everyone she meets.
Nancy is a big girl, with an even bigger heart, looking for an ever larger sofa.
She could have doggy walking buddies but would need to be the only pet in the home. She can live with teens over the age of 14.
Very sadly, Nancy had her ears cropped which is illegal in the UK and not condoned by Dogs Trust.
Oats at Dogs Trust Basildon
![](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article27119873.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_Rescue-dogs-kickstart-Jubilee-weekend-with-a-party-fit-for-royalty.jpg)
Joining in with the Jubilee celebrations is 13-year-old Captain Oats.
He is looking for a quiet retirement home and a comfy sofa (throne) to call his own.
He can be a little worried by too much hustle and bustle so his new family will need to take things at his own pace and help him gain confidence.
Bronson at Dogs Trust Leeds
![](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article27119867.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_Rescue-dogs-kickstart-Jubilee-weekend-with-a-party-fit-for-royalty.jpg)
Big boy Bronson is an 18-month-old bulldog.
He's a fun and lively boy and will be celebrating the Jubilee doing what he loves best – taking part in his training in exchange for some tasty treats.
Despite his strong and confident exterior, he has come insecurities which his new owners will need to help him with.
He socialises with other dogs when out and about but would prefer to be the only dog in his new home.
Floss at Dogs Trust Newbury
![](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article27119874.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_Rescue-dogs-kickstart-Jubilee-weekend-with-a-party-fit-for-royalty.jpg)
Floss is a five-month-old border collie and is a little princess.
Even at such a young age, her collie brain is as clever as they come.
She is currently being treated like royalty in a foster home and will soon be heading off to her forever home.
Edith at Dogs Trust Snetterton
![](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article27119870.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/0_Rescue-dogs-kickstart-Jubilee-weekend-with-a-party-fit-for-royalty.jpg)
Edith is a sweet lady looking for a home where she'll have all the love and attention she deserves.
She could live with older children aged 14 and older and would love someone at home most of the time initially to help her settle in.
You can apply to adopt any of these dogs on Dogs Trust's rehoming website.
