Dogs Trust are struggling to house all of these pups, and is looking for volunteer foster carers to provide a temporary home for dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes, or for families to take them home permanently. 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.
Here are 13 dogs and puppies, who have recently arrived at the Merseyside kennels.

9. Tara
Beautiful Tara doesn’t appear to have had the best life. She is only about 2-years-old and has had her ears cropped and at least one litter of puppies. She is absolutely brilliant with people and is a very sweet natured girl, but when she’s out for walks her default behaviour is to grab her lead and rag on it, with no regard for her handler! Tara’s new family must be willing to work on, as it is stressful for her when it happens.
10. Gary
Gary is an ex racing Greyhound and has likely lived in a kennel environment rather than a home. He'll probably need house training but adult dogs do pick it up quickly, and he'll need some basic training also. He's a large boy who loves to cuddle, so probably best with robust kids aged 14 and up!
11. Blue
Blue is an 11-year-old Husky looking for a loving family. He’s a calm lad who takes everything in his stride and can live with children of high school age, but no other pets.
12. Teddy
Teddy is looking for a home with other pets or children under the age of 16. He is house trained and can be left alone for a few hours. His new family must be confident at administering medication through an inhaler as Teddy has asthma.
