About Manchester and Cheshire Dogs Home

Manchester & District Home for Lost Dogs is one of the UK’s oldest dog rescue charities, founded in 1893 to address the growing number of stray dogs in Manchester. Operating from its original inner-city Manchester site alongside the purpose-built Cheshire Dogs’ Home, the charity provides care, rehabilitation, and rehoming for stray and unwanted dogs across Greater Manchester and Cheshire. The organisation offers specialist facilities for vulnerable dogs, including those requiring intensive medical care, pregnant bitches, and dogs that struggle in traditional kennel environments. Committed to responsible dog welfare, the charity vaccinates and microchips all dogs in its care, promotes low-cost neutering and education, and operates a strict policy of never euthanising a healthy dog.

BreedCrossbreed

Meet Arlo! Arlo is a gorgeous, sweet-natured boy who is very friendly and absolutely loves lots of fuss. He’s a real people dog and enjoys getting plenty of attention and affection. He is a very energetic and boisterous lad who can get extremely giddy when he’s excited. He sometimes forgets just how big he is and will jump up to say hello, so he would benefit from some basic training to help him learn his manners and channel all that enthusiasm. Arlo recently had a bath, and although he was a little nervous to begin with, he was a very good boy. Once it was all over, he celebrated in true Arlo style with a case of the zoomies! He also has a funny habit of rearranging his bed and moving it to wherever he thinks it should be. Arlo is a loveable, fun, lively character with bags of personality. He would thrive in a very active home with someone who can give him plenty of exercise, long walks and consistency with his training. He would need a private secure garden so he can practice his zoomies!Arlo has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care and is very playful, so we feel following a successful meet and greet he could live with another dog of similar size and energy level.As Arlo came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 16+ years.If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.

Bob is a sweet boy but can be nervous of new people, especially around men. Bob is currently under training to help to reduce his nervousness around men and new people, his new family will need to be patient and may need to have extra meets to ensure that he is familiar of everyone in the house before he goes home. Bob will need continuous training to help with his socialisation skills. Once bob is comfortable his goofy personality soon comes out, he loves to play with his toys and all of the staff here. Bob loves his walks, due to his size he can be strong on the lead but with a little more training that would improve. Bob loves his treats and enrichment activities in between walks. Bob is a clever boy as he already knows a few tricks such as sit, down and paw.Bob needs an adult only home where he can have plenty of space to settle in and gain more confidence. He will need an experienced home that has had large breed dogs before and can handle his size and boisterous behaviour once he is settled.Bob has interacted well with dogs whilst in our care, he is still only young so he does like to bounce around and try and play with dogs. Further training is needed to help him improve his manners. Bob could potentially be rehomed with another dog – subject to a successful meet.We are unsure how Bob would react around cats.Please do not apply for a dog if you have a holiday within the next 3 months.

Meet our gorgeous, daft boy, Bruce!Bruce is a very active and playful boy who absolutely loves chasing around our compound with his toys. He can be quite boisterous and bouncy when he is excited so would definitely benefit from continued training and socialisation. He can be quite a strong boy on his lead too.He will need an active home where he can get all the exercise and mental stimulation he will need every day. Bruce would benefit from a private secure garden where he can have off lead time with his toys in between his walks.Bruce has interacted well with most dogs whilst in our care but can be very dominant with them so we feel he would be best suited to be the only dog in the home. The new adopter will need to continue his socialisation with other dogs to improve his interactions with them.As Bruce can get nervous and overwhelmed meeting new people, especially men, we feel that it would be best for him to go to an adult only home. He will need time to get to know you before going home. His new family will need to be able to commit to multiple meets.

Cali was a very nervous girl when she first arrived at the home, she came in as a stray so we don’t know much about her history. It has taken a lot of time and patience for Cali to show us her excitable, bubbly personality. Due to this we are after an experienced home that has the time to get to know Cali here before she goes home. Once Cali gets to know you she loves a fuss and attention. She loves going out for woodland walks and gets very giddy for her lead, she pulls a little on the lead, due to her size, so would benefit from some on going training. Cali enjoys an offlead run in the enclosed compound where she can chase after a tennis ball.Cali will need to live in an Adult only home with an enclosed garden where she has space to roam about at her leisure. She used to be a little nervous and unsure around certain dogs, we have been working with her on this and introducing her to dogs which is helping her social interactions. She is now a friendly girl with most of the dogs on site and can say a lovely face to face hello and even tries to play with others. She will need continued training to help with her socialisation. We still feel that Cali will need to be the only dog in the house.If you think you can give this gorgeous girl her forever home please apply!*Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge

Daisy was previously a racing greyhound who has been brought up in kennels. She is a smaller girl in comparison to a typical greyhound but still does have quite a high prey drive. She makes up for her size with her big personality, she is a very sweet and loving girl but can be a little cheeky at times. As like most greyhounds, Daisy enjoys a good walk and sniff in the woods, with the occasional time off lead in an enclosed area to burn off energy but will equally spend lots time relaxing on a comfy cosy bed. Daisy is after someone that is looking to give a dog lots of love and companionship, which she hasn’t previously had in her life. She in return will give you unconditional love.Daisy can be a little nippy at times so we feel that it would be best for her to be rehomed with children who are 14 years or older – subject to a successful meet.Daisy is currently paired and used to living with another greyhound in kennels. She has also interacted well with other dogs whilst on walks so we believe that she could be rehomed with another dog of a similar size and temperament – again subject to a successful meet.Due to Daisy being an ex-racer it wouldn’t be suitable for him to be rehomed with cats or small furries.*Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge

This lovely boy is Duke! He is looking for a patient and understanding home where he can truly thrive. When he first came into us he was very nervous, but given the time and space to build trust his friendly and affectionate nature shines through. He can be quite vocal and will bark to let you know when he’d like some attention. When he gets over excited or over stimulated he can become a little mouthy, so he will need owners who can calmly redirect this behaviour and continue his training and socialisation. He already knows some basic commands and is eager to engage. Being a large, strong boy, he does pull on the lead, so he will benefit from ongoing lead training and someone confident enough to manage his strength. He is currently unsure around other dogs and would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where his new adopter can continue his socialisation with other dogs in a controlled environment with lots of positive reinforcement. This handsome lad is looking for an active home, that can provide patience, consistency and plenty of exercise and mental enrichment. He will need a private secure garden.As he came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
