We were asked by a pound to take in this young lad whose time was up. Arti is a GSD cross Mali we believe. He is now microchipped we believe he is between 1 & 2 years old. Still entire and vaccinations to be restarted.Arti is a little nervous of new people but no malice in him. He loves toys and seems to be a typical energetic, young lad! No young children as we do not know his history. No reaction to other dogs at the kennels so far but further assessment here will be done.Arti will need an experienced home that can continue teaching him that people and the world are not as scary as he currently thinks.

English Springer Rescue
Cuddly BEAR Five year old Bear’s owner’s describe him as a loving, loyal character with a big heart Bear is a friendly boy who loves to play with a ball which he will drop on command, he seems to enjoy playing with children and will usually share his toys. He loves his walks and being off lead and normally comes when he is called. His new home should be pet free, as he has been living in a home with a number of other dogs and cats and he is finding this overwhelming. Bear was attacked by another dog as a youngster which has made him a little anxious. As a young Springer, Bear is going to need an owner with the time and patience to bond with him and give him the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. When trust has been established the owner will be able to gradually give him the socialisation he has missed. Bear is going to be a great friend and companion to his new family in the happy home he so deserves.

Bella is a lovely, lively, eleven year old who is looking for her forever home.She is a very active girl who needs lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep her happy.At the moment Bella is walked twice a day for around 45 minutes but ideally she would benefit from longer walks and the opportunity to run off lead in a safe, secure area, to burn off her surplus energy. She also needs plenty of mental stimulation with sniffing games, retrieval and recall to treats.Bella can be a little anxious at times when she meets other dogs, however we believe with the right handling this can be alleviated.As with all NWESSR dogs who are over 10 years old at the time of adoption, Bella qualifies for our support with vets bills.If you think you could make Bella the happiest dog in the world on the application button below to find out more about the and complete an online form application.Application Form

Erin Hounds
Cahir ( born November 2025) is a broken coated female lurcher thought to have terrier, collie and saluki in her heritage. She loves to run and zoom about. Her ideal home would have lots of outside space and dogs to play with. She is has seen nothing outside kennels so will need a patient owner to help her learn about life as a pet and the outside world. Being a puppy, she will need a home with someone around a lot and willing to cope with puppyish behaviour. With careful introductions, we feel she could live with cats. She is microchipped and a non negotiable condition of adoption is that she will be spayed at the appropriate age and this will be overseen. Her name is pronounced ‘Care’ and if this is what you can give her for the rest of her life, please contact us.

Cashel( born November 2025) is a female lurcher thought to have saluki, collie and terrier in her heritage. She is good natured and playful but will need a confident dog or dogs to guide her. She requires an owner happy to give her the time to grow, learn and play ( she especially likes splashing in puddles!). With the usual careful introductions, she could live with cats. She would like a garden in which to safely play and being young would like a home with someone around a lot who is happy with puppyish traits. She is microchipped and that she will be spayed at the appropriate age, is a non- negotiable condition of adoption which will be overseen. If you have exactly what this little girl needs, please contact us.

Cheshire Sighthound Rescue UK is a registered charity run by a small, dedicated team of trustees with a clear focus on rehoming sighthounds in need. The rescue primarily helps retired racing greyhounds, alongside other sighthounds who have been relinquished due to changes in their owners’ circumstances. Each dog is given care, understanding, and the time needed to transition into home life. With welfare at the heart of everything they do, the charity works to find loving, suitable forever homes where these gentle dogs can thrive.

Congleton Dog Rescue was founded in 2025 by a group of passionate animal lovers determined to give rescue dogs a second chance. What began as a small grassroots fostering effort has already grown into a dedicated rescue operation that has saved over 40 dogs across Cheshire and beyond. Working closely with veterinary clinics, foster families, and community partners, the charity focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming. Beyond hands-on rescue work, Congleton Dog Rescue is committed to education and advocacy, aiming to create lasting positive change for dogs in the local community. Powered by a growing team of volunteers, the rescue continues to make a meaningful difference, one dog at a time.

North West English Springer Spaniel Rescue (NWESSR) is a registered charity with over 30 years’ experience dedicated to helping English Springer Spaniels in need. Over the decades, the charity has found loving homes for hundreds of Springers who have become homeless for reasons including bereavement, illness, financial hardship, abandonment, or cruelty and neglect. NWESSR takes great care in assessing each dog and matching them with suitable, experienced homes, particularly for dogs who have suffered trauma or whose needs require extra understanding. Recognised by The Kennel Club and listed in the Kennel Club Rescue Directory, the charity works tirelessly to reunite dogs with families where possible or find them new forever homes. Through careful rehoming and ongoing commitment, NWESSR continues to support Springers and the people who adopt them.

Erin Hounds is a registered charity founded in 2008 to rescue, rehabilitate, and responsibly rehome Irish sighthounds in need, while raising awareness of sighthound welfare issues in Ireland. Run entirely by knowledgeable and passionate volunteers, the charity supports greyhounds, lurchers, salukis, and other sighthounds affected by overbreeding, irresponsible ownership, and lack of welfare enforcement in the Republic of Ireland. Erin Hounds works closely with rescuers on the ground near Galway and a dedicated volunteer team in the UK, primarily based in Cheshire. Many of the dogs helped include ex-racing greyhounds, hare coursers, discarded breeding bitches, and abandoned or stray lurchers. By finding loving homes outside Ireland, Erin Hounds offers these dogs a genuine second chance at a safe and happy life.

German Shepherd Rescue Elite was established to support unwanted, abandoned, and neglected German Shepherds, while also educating the public about the responsibilities of owning large working-breed dogs. The charity focuses not only on rescue and rehoming, but on prevention—offering advice and guidance to help reduce the number of dogs entering rescue in the future. GSRE works tirelessly to ensure dogs are microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered, with dedicated follow-up support where needed. Supported by a passionate volunteer network, the charity also assists Belgian Shepherd Malinois and Dutch Shepherds, breeds whose complex needs are often misunderstood. As a full member of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) and the EU Dog and Cat Alliance, GSRE is committed to collaboration and the highest standards of animal welfare.

Our Safe Haven Kennels is a UK-based rescue facility opened in 2021 in Nantwich, Cheshire, created to provide a calm and supportive environment for dogs in need. The kennels were established to help dogs who struggled in busy shelter settings, particularly those rescued from overseas, as well as to offer a secure backup space for UK dogs returning to the rescue. Designed with welfare in mind, the centre allows potential adopters to meet dogs by appointment and get to know them properly before adoption. Since opening, Our Safe Haven Kennels has seen rapid growth, rehoming more than 200 dogs in 2023 alone, and continues to expand its role as a vital stepping stone between rescue and a permanent, loving home.

Founded in 2013, REAN works towards preventing cruelty and suffering of Romanian and Turkish stray dogs by rescuing dogs, helping to feed them and offering these dogs for adoption in the UK. Our Romanian dog rescue has so far rescued and re-homed over 3,000 stray animals in need. In addition to saving, we also fund spay and neuter for strays and pets of families with low income in villages in Romania.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), founded in 1824, is the oldest and largest animal welfare organisation in the world, operating across England and Wales. Funded primarily by voluntary donations, the charity rescues animals from cruelty, investigates neglect and organised animal crime, and provides advice to improve animal welfare. Its network includes rescue teams, animal hospitals, rehabilitation centres and over 150 locally run branches that support rehoming, neutering and community welfare services. Through national and international outreach, the RSPCA works to prevent cruelty and ensure animals receive the care and protection they deserve.

SSDRUK ADOPTION PROCESS SSDRUK has now also established their own rescue premises in Wistaston, Cheshire where we have the space to temporarily shelter dogs who are on their way to seeking their own permanent home with families throughout the UK. There will sometimes be available a small number of un-adopted dogs which will be available for meet and greets, strictly by appointment only. The work of SSDRUK is responsible for feeding and looking after these dogs and all their needs whilst in our care. A home check and chat about suitability is required. All dogs will be spayed or neutered accordingly and will be passported, wormed and microchipped. All this is included in the adoption fee as well as health screening as set out below. There are some diseases related to Spanish dogs related to sand-flies and tick bites that are not an issue for dogs in the UK. Please note your dog will be screened for Leishmaniosis, Dirofilariasis, Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis.

Warrington Animal Welfare (WAW) is a local charity dedicated to putting animals first and supporting responsible pet ownership across Warrington and surrounding areas. The charity was established to provide financial support to pet owners on low incomes or benefits, helping cover the cost of neutering to reduce the number of stray, abandoned, and unwanted animals. Alongside low-cost neutering, WAW raises awareness around microchipping and responsible care, while offering help to rehome pets when owners are no longer able to keep them. By supporting both animals and their owners, Warrington Animal Welfare plays an important role in strengthening and protecting the local community.

The Windyway Trust is a registered charity founded in 2005 in Macclesfield, Cheshire, driven by a shared passion for animal welfare. Its mission is to relieve the suffering of animals in need, supporting the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming work of Windyway Animal Sanctuary for dogs, cats, and other animals. The charity also extends its support to the Search and Rescue dogs of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Teams and runs a local pet food bank to help families keep their beloved pets fed. Funded through charity shops, local events, and generous donations, and powered by dedicated volunteers, the Windyway Trust continues to be a vital lifeline for animals and communities across Cheshire and neighbouring regions.
Cheshire’s mix of countryside, commuter towns and family homes makes it a popular county for rescue dog adoption. Dogs rehomed here often benefit from access to outdoor space, regular routines and adopters seeking long-term companionship. Many Cheshire-based rescues focus on matching dogs with homes that suit their temperament, whether that’s an active household or a quieter setting. With dogs coming from a range of backgrounds, adoption in Cheshire prioritises careful assessment to ensure each dog finds a stable and loving home.
