*Animals available at the time of writing - January 2,2025.
1. Chance - German Shepherd cross
Chance is a German Shepherd cross. Chance can live with teenagers but will need to be the only pet at home. He is house trained and has been used to being left alone for a couple of hours once settled. He has guarded items on occasion so should be left alone when he has something good, or taught to trade. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
2. Hector - Leonberger Cross
Hector is a Leonberger Cross. Hector can live with other dogs and children of high school age. Dogs Trust have no history for him and cannot guarantee that he is house trained or used to spending time by himself. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
3. Bruno - English Springer Spaniel Cross
Bruno is an English Springer Spaniel Cross. Bruno can live with a well matched dog and children aged eight and over. He is very strong and has had a number of bookings cancelled as he has been too strong on his lead for people, so potential adopters should make sure they are physically capable of walking him. Bruno is fully house trained and can be left alone for a couple of hours without worry. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
4. Ella - Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross
Ella is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross puppy. Ella cannot live with other pets or children under the age of 16 due to her grabbing behaviour. She will need a family committed to some proper training, as well as all her basics. A few meets at the centre will be required before she goes home, along with a one to one session with the Dogs Trust training and behaviour team. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
