Discover 25 adorable rescue dogs and puppies seeking forever homes around Merseyside this Christmas.

Based in Whiston, Dogs Trust’s Merseyside rescue centre serves Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens and has more than 50 dogs in its kennels, who would love the chance to find a permanent place to call home in time for Christmas.

The charity is seeing more and more people giving up their pets as a result of the cost of living crisis, and warns that abandonments often spike during and shortly after the festive period.

A large range of dog breeds and ages are available for fostering or adoption at Dogs Trust, including Bulldog, Lurchers, Spaniels, Pomeranians, Whippets, Akitas, Belgian Shepherds and more.

So, if you are hoping for a new companion, why not pop into the rescue centre and find a new friend?

Below are 25 of the rescue centre’s newest residents, who would love to find a permanent home in Liverpool and Merseyside in time for the most wonderful time of the year.
