Dogs Trust’s Merseyside centre serves Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens and has more than 50 dogs up for adoption, who would love the chance to find a permanent place to call home.
A large range of dog breeds - of all ages and sizes - are available for fostering or adoption, ranging from Pomeranians and Bichon Frises to German Shepherds, French Bullldogs, Labradors and Akitas.
Animal rescue charities often experience increased demand during the winter period, so, if you are hoping for a new companion, why not pop into Dogs Trust’s Merseyside branch and find a new friend.
Below are twelve of the rescue centre’s newest residents, who would love to find a permanent home in time for Christmas. More information about the adoption process is available via the Dogs Trust Merseyside website.
