Located 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.
A large range of dog breeds and ages are available for fostering or adoption, including Poodles, Viszlas, Bulldogs, Pomeranians, Cocker Spaniels and Greyhounds.
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 the festive season. The team at Dogs Trust Merseyside is also asking local dog lovers to help them make sure they can give the dogs in their care the best Christmas possible, by donating toys and treats in time for the big day. So, if you are hoping for a new companion, why not pop into the rescue centre and find a new friend?
Below are eleven 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.

11. Nala - Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) Cross
Nala is a Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) Cross. She can be a shy girl but she gets attached to people quite quickly and it shouldn't take her long to form a bond with a new family. Nala gets a little overwhelmed if there's lots going on around her, but in quiet areas she likes to have a good sniff around and is much more relaxed. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
