If you’re thinking of adding a dog to your family, why not visit the Dogs Trust Merseyside branch, and meet the wonderful animals who have nowehere else to turn.

5. Freya
Freya needs a home where everybody is over the age of 16. She cannot share her home with any cats but she could potentially live with another calm dog, who won’t bother her to play too much. Freya is house trained but does not like to be left alone for too long so any leaving hours would need to be built up slowly once she has settled in.
6. Biggie
Biggie is an American Bulldog cross who will need to be the only pet at home due to a one off altercation with another dog at home. He’s a nervous lad so better with kids teenaged and older and with a family willing to help him work on his confidence. Biggie can be left alone for a couple of hours once he’s settled, and he is house trained. He does chase cats and squirrels so best not to live with anything small and furry.
7. Fergus
Fergus is a ten-year-old Jack Russell Terrier looking for a home with his best friend Bonnie. Fergus appreciates a slow approach from people and doesn’t like to be crowded, and may tense if getting affection from someone he doesn’t know well.
8. Socks
Socks has come into are care along with his brother Donut, and they must be rehomed together. These gorgeous boys are house trained and have previously been used to being left for around 4-5 hours so, given time to settle in, should be able to do so again.
