1. Geoffrey - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Geoffrey is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Geoffrey is a lovely boy who is looking for a home where he can be the only pet and where any children are over the age of 14. He is house trained and once settled could be left alone for around 4 hours without worry. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
2. Azalea - Crossbreed puppy
Azalea is a crossbreed puppy. Azalea can live with other pets and children over the age of five. She has been in foster for a short while and is almost fully house trained and has been sleeping well through the night. Azalea has Craniomandibular Osteopathy, sometimes referred to as "Westie jaw" and requires pain relief. This should hopefully resolve itself as she grows, but Dogs Trust cannot guarantee it. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
3. Luna - Labrador Retriever cross
