Located just outside of the city in Whiston, the 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, ranging from lovely Labradors and bubbly Bichon Frises to adorable German Shepherds and friendly French Bulldogs.
The charity is seeing more and more people giving up their pets as a result of the cost of living crisis. 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 ten 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.
