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.

We will subsidise any further treatment needed for his ears, and he has been very patient throughout his care.

BreedCrossbreed

About Buddy ​Buddy is a handsome 6-year-old Black Labrador with a massive heart and a real "zest for life." Don't let his age fool you; he has the energy and enthusiasm of a much younger dog! He is currently looking for a new home directly from his current residence. The adoption process is the same as any dog in our care and a new owner will have the back up from Windyway if needed. ​Social Butterfly: He is extremely friendly and greets everyone with a warm welcome. ​Active & Bright: He loves his walks and has excellent recall off-lead, especially if you’re carrying his favourite treats. ​Family History: Buddy has grown up around children and loves being part of the fun. Because he is a bouncy, strong boy, he’d be best suited to a home with children who are comfortable with his "Labrador energy." ​Health & Peace of Mind ​Buddy was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy last summer. This is now well-controlled with medication, and he is otherwise a very healthy, happy dog. ​The Transferable Insurance Advantage: One of the best things about Buddy’s move is that his current insurance policy is fully transferable. This means his new owners can take over the policy and ensure his epilepsy and medication remain covered without the "pre-existing condition" exclusions usually found in new policies. ​Why he is moving ​To ensure Buddy stays in the best of health, his owners have made the difficult decision to find him a calmer, more predictable environment. He thrives on routine, and a quieter household will allow him to stay relaxed and seizure-free.

Callas, a 7 months old female Saluki available for adoption from Erin Hounds in Cheshire

Callas

Cheshire
SexFemale
Age7 months
BreedSaluki

Callas (born August 2025) is a happy, energetic, smallish female saluki who finds joy in every minute of every day. She loves being out and about; those eye-catching looks fitting well with her “social butterfly” attitude. She gets on very well with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion for silliness. She adores people and would be happy in a home with lots going on and a secure garden in which to let off her puppy liveliness. She is microchipped. A non-negotiable condition of adoption is that she will be speyed at the appropriate age and that there will not be any non-castrated dogs in her new family. We believe she can live with cats as long as they watch out for her waggy tail! If you would like this ditzy girl in your family and there is someone around all the time, please contact us.
