These 17 puppies and dogs are just a handful of the lovable canines currently being housed at Dogs Trust’s Merseyside centre - and they are hoping to find a forever home this autumn.
Dogs Trust Merseyside serves Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens and has over 30 wonderful dogs up for adoption, including playful young puppies and golden oldies. So, why shop when you can adopt and make a rescue animal’s dream come true?
Here are 17 of the Merseyside rescue centre’s adorable residents who are searching for a family to call their own. Information about the adoption process is available via the Dogs Trust Merseyside website.
9. Gizmo - Shih Tzu
Gizmo is a Shih Tzu. He is looking for a quiet home where any children are teenaged. Although friendly with other dogs he can be a pest and doesn't like rowdy dogs so is probably best as the only dog at home. Gizmo is house trained and can be left alone for an hour or two. He has a minor heart condition that does not require medication, but he will need his eyes lubricating daily for the foreseeable future. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
10. Daisy - German Shepherd cross
Daisy is a German Shepherd cross. Daisy can live with children of high school age but will need to be the only dog in the household although friends outside are fine. She absolutely cannot be around cats and ideally there should be no cats in neighbouring gardens and Daisy should be kept on her lead in public places. She is house trained if let out regularly and can be left a couple of hours once settled in. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
11. Tom - Patterdale Terrier
Tom is a Patterdale Terrier. He will need someone around most of the day to build up his leaving hours too. Tom could live with children aged 12 and over. Tom will need to be the only pet in the home as he doesn't enjoy dogs coming up to him as he finds this worrying and has snapped, but can walk at a distance. He will need an owner who is willing to continue his training around dogs. Tom will need a secure 6ft fence as he has shown the ability to jump. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
12. Ayka - German Shepherd cross
Ayka is a German Shepherd cross. Ayka can live with high school aged children but needs to be the only pet at home as she is very under socialised with other dogs. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
