Based in Whiston, the Merseyside centre has more than 60 dogs in its kennels, who would love the chance to find a new family and a place to call home. A diverse selection of dog breeds are up for adoption, ranging from tiny Terriers to Siberian Huskies.
The charity is seeing more and more people giving up their pets as a result of the cost of living crisis. So, if you follow the ‘adopt not shop’ mantra and are hoping for a new canine companion, why not pop into Dogs Trust’s Merseyside branch and find a new friend.
Below are 21 of the centre’s residents, who would love to find a permanent home this autumn. More information about the adoption process is available via the Dogs Trust Merseyside website.

7. Billy - Patterdale Terrier
Billy is a Patterdale Terrier. He is a young terrier who would like to find a family that can keep up with him! He's very active when out and about and always vigilant, watching for other dogs and wildlife, but when inside he loves a fuss and cuddle. Billy will happily jump on our laps when we get down to his level, but he can be wriggly still. | Dogs Trust Merseyside

8. Nala - Cocker Spaniel Cross
Nala is a Cocker Spaniel Cross. She can live with another quiet dog and children of high school age. She is house trained but not used to spending time by herself, and her family will need to introduce alone time gradually. She will need regular trips to the groomer, so please consider this extra expense if thinking of adopting Nala. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
