1. Max - French Bulldog cross
Max is a French Bulldog cross. Max can live with children of high school age and cats, but he is not socialised enough to live with another dog. He is house trained and can be left alone for four hours or so without worry. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
2. Rip - German Shepherd cross
Rip is a German Shepherd cross puppy. Dogs Trust say he would be better as the only dog due to his OTT behaviours but can walk with others. Any children at home would need to be older than 16 as he has snapped around food. Rip is house trained and knows some basic cues, and he needs a 6ft fence in the garden as he can jump. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
3. Sunny - Dutch Shepherd
Sunny is a Dutch Shepherd. Sunny is looking for a committed child free home to show her some kindness. Dogs Trust have no history for her and she may need house training and all her basics. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
4. George - Pug
George is a Pug. George can live with children over the age of ten but at his age he's less tolerant of other dogs so needs to be the only pet at home. He is house trained and happy to be left by himself for a couple of hours. George has had a handful of what may be short seizures over the last twelve months and is on daily medication to help. We're happy to discuss this further with any potential adopters. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
