Are you an animal lover living in Liverpool or around the Merseyside area? If so, you could help a local animal rescue centre seeking to find new homes for their adorable dogs and puppies.
Charities and rescue centres across the country are facing unprecedented numbers of people looking to give up their pets, and Dogs Trust Merseyside is no exception.
Based in Huyton, the centre currently has more than 50 dogs and puppies in its kennels, who would love the chance to have a permanent, loving home. Whether you prefer big or small dogs, puppies or golden oldies, there are a range of canines up for adoption.
If you have been thinking of getting a pet and believe the ‘adopt not shop’ mantra, Dogs Trust could be the perfect place for you to find an adorable new family member.
From a Doberman to a Jack Russell, here are 14 of Dogs Trust Merseyside’s most recent additions, who would love to meet you.
