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.

9. Finn
FInn is a Lurcher Cross who needs to be the only pet at home, and any children in or visiting the house must be over 16. Ideally he will live in an area with a low dog population. Finn is house trained but never left for more than two hours. He’ll need multiple visits to him at the centre. | Dogs Trust Merseyside Photo: Dogs Trust Merseyside

10. Layla
Layla is a Border Collie who is looking for a patient family to guide her into her new life at her pace. She can live with other dogs and teenagers but she is not house trained, and puppy pads may be useful. | Dogs Trust Merseyside Photo: Dogs Trust Merseyside

11. Rosie
Rosie is a Greyhound who can live with children of high school age but will need to be the only pet. A little patience may be needed whilst she gets used to a new routine. | Dogs Trust Merseyside Photo: Dogs Trust Merseyside

12. Toby
Toby is a French Bulldog who is rather tense around other dogs so needs to be the only pet. He can live with children over the age of 14, is house trained and travels well in a car. | Dogs Trust Merseyside Photo: Dogs Trust Merseyside
