Located in Whiston, the Merseyside rescue centre serves Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral and St Helens and has more than 60 dogs in its kennels, who would love the chance to find a new family and a place to call home.
A large range of dog breeds and ages are up for adoption, ranging from lovely Labradors and friendly Frenchies to adorable German Shepherds.
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 furry friend, why not pop into Dogs Trust’s Merseyside branch and find a new friend.
Below are 12 of the 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.

5. Rossi - Lurcher
Rossi is a Lurcher who is nine-years-old. He can live with children over the age of 14 but no other pets. Dogs Trust have very limited history for him so cannot guarantee that he is house trained, but we do believe he has lived inside. Rossi has minor luxation of both patellas. | Dogs Trust Merseyside

6. Shadow - Alaskan Malamute
Shadow is an Alaskan Malamute. He needs a home free from other pets and where any children are of high school age. He is house trained and can be left alone for up to four hours without concern. Shadow has some pain in his spine and legs that he will require relief for. | Dogs Trust Merseyside

7. Simba - Rhodesian Ridgeback Cross
Simba is Rhodesian Ridgeback Cross, believed to be between one and two years old. He needs a home without other pets, and where he has no dogs as neighbours. He will also need access to walks with few dogs. Simba would really suit someone who has an interest in dog training. He can be left alone for a few hours after a settling in period and is house trained. Children over the age of 16 will be fine. | Dogs Trust Merseyside

8. Ollie - Greyhound
Ollie is a Greyhound. He can live with children of high school age and other medium to large sized dogs. Ollie has spent his life in racing kennels so may need some help with house training and won't be used to being left by himself. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
