Dogs Trust Merseyside are hoping to find forever homes for the adorable animals that have sadly been placed in their care - and numbers are up since the cost of living crisis hit.
Many owners are taking their pets to rescue centres, as they can no longer afford to care for them. Dogs Trust says every week, around 1,000 people are making the call to give up their dog.
From puppies to older dogs, the rehoming charity has all sorts of canine companions, hoping to bring a little extra joy to your life - including a Belgian Shepherd, a Pug and a Jack Russell.
Take a look at the lovely dogs below to see if you could give one a loving home. ‘Adopt don’t shop.
Scar is Belgian Shepherd who is looking for a home with no other dogs but with a family that will keep him socialised, and where any children are 14 or over. He has spent a long time in kennels so may need a house training refresher.
10. Patch
Patch has had a difficult life and needs a specific home with adopters who are willing to work him and Dogs Trust’s rehabilitation trainers. He had no access to beds or toys when younger, so now he puts very high value on both, and it needs to be properly managed. When it comes to other dogs, Patch is quite reactive, although he has been brilliant in the past.
11. Ursula
Six year old Ursula is looking for a quieter home where she can soak up all the attention as the only pet, and where any children are over the age of 12. She may need some help in the house training department so will need somebody at home often.
12. Hiro
Hiro will need a home where he is the only pet and there are no children. He is house trained and can be left alone for about 4 hours without worry, once he's settled in. He is a little nervous of new people and will need a few visits to him at the centre before going home. Hiro does have Addisons disease and needs regular medication.
