Lancashire offers a diverse setting for rescue dog adoption, combining urban centres with rural and coastal areas. Dogs adopted here are often matched with homes based on energy levels, experience, and lifestyle rather than location alone. Many rescues across Lancashire focus on rehabilitating dogs from challenging backgrounds and preparing them carefully for rehoming. Adopting locally supports charities working to give dogs a stable and secure future.

Gorgeous Amelia has been waiting THREE YEARS to be chosen ! We can't quite understand why./Found abandoned as a pup on the mountains of Greece, Amelia came to the UK 4 years ago and lived happily in what she hoped was her forever home, until her family gave her up due to a new baby.She has now been in foster for nearly three years. She is loved, happy and has made huge strides but can't stay where she is forever and needs a family of her own. A shy girl at first, Amelia needs someone who will give her a bit of space to work things out but is SUPER affectionate when she trusts you. Her favourite trick is sitting on her bottom with paws up waiting for a treat.When she first arrived in foster, Amelia's anxiety made her dog-reactive but this clever girl has turned things around! Thanks to the commitment, patience and love, of her foster family, Amelia now happily walks past other dogs on a walk and could, with careful integrataion, learn to live with another dog. She would probably do best in an adults only home.Amelia looks super cute in a birthday hat but we don't want her to celebrate a THIRD year without a forever family! Please contact us if you are interested in helping Amelia .

Some dogs are Extra Special . Meet Angus, a gentle Shepherd whose heart is literally breaking as he waits and hopes for a family.3 year old Angus has a chronic heart condition (well managed by medication) which means the stress of life at the shelter could kill him. When we first met Angus last April he was super shy. Not reactive, just worried about our intentions. We asked his rescuer, Sofia to work with him, socialising and training him around people to prepare for domestic life.We needed to know if he could cope. Angus has amazed us with his progress. He used to flinch at the reach of a hand. Now he trusts and asks for rubs. He used to hide his head from treats. Now, he comes to you for tasty favours.He has been an absolute angel during his Veterinary visits, travels well in the car, loves dogs, cats and is not destructive.Angus still needs love, patience and lots of love to continue his progress. His medication costs are Ā£47 a month. It’s a commitment we ask his adopter to be prepared to make for life. Meanwhile, we would commit to fundraising for the costs of his travel to the UK.We see huge potential in this sweet boy. His heart may be a little broken but it is full of love. We think he deserves the best shot at a long and happy life. Do you?Please contract us if you can help by adopting beautiful Angus.

Lancashire
SexMale
AgeUnknown
BreedCrossbreed

Arnold has spent time away from the kennels and this is what his fosterer has to say about him:Arnold is a young handsome big lad who loves nothing more than snuggling up to his humans. He sometimes forgets his size and sees himself as a lapdog trying to sit on your knee. Arnold is a big boisterous vocal boy who loves to play with his toys. He sometimes forgets his manners when he meets new people and will jump up. He definitely needs to be the only pet in the home.Arnold is very loyal to his humans. He is house trained and can be left for up to 4-5 hours home alone. During that time he snoozes and chills out. Arnold loves a car ride and travels well. Arnold enjoys his walks – he shows reactivity on the lead and requires continued training help with this.Arnold is a lovable character who would best suit an adult only pet free home.

Hi.. I'm Barney (aka your future shadow!) I'm a 10 year-old gent looking for a nice calm home where I can finally pur my paws up and relax.Let's get the important bits out of they .. I'd prefer to be your one and only (no dogs please), and a home without young children would suit me best - older, sensible kids (10+) could be okay.Now, onto the good stuffI love my walks - I stroll like a pro on the lead ( vary handsome, if i do say so myself). Because of a past leg injury, I'm currently on shorter walks, but with time and care, I might be able to build up the walks a little. Slow and stready wins the race, right? I do like my personal space when I'm out and about - I'm not a fan of dogs getting too close to me on walks. If another dog barks at me I might have a little bark back. With the right handling and a bit of space I'm a good boy.Food? Oh yes... I am VERY motivated by snacks. Treats = instant best friends.I'm not house trained yet, but don't worry - my humans will give you all the tips you need to help me learn. I'm a clever boy, especially when snacks are involved!I would really love a home where somone is around most of the time, as I'm not a fan of being left alone. I just like company.. and honestly, who wouldn't want me as their little shadow?So, if you're looking for a loyal companion who loves a gentle walk, a comfy bed and full snack jar.. I might just be your guy.Love,Barney

Beetlejuice, a 2 years old male Borzoi available for adoption from RSPCA in Lancashire

Beetlejuice

Lancashire
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedBorzoi

DISCLAIMER: Please read Beetle’s story very carefully as we are looking for a very specific home for him!Beetle is a Borsky breed (Siberian Husky and Border Collie cross). Due to this cross, it means that Beetle is a high maintenance breed. They are highly intelligent, extremely energetic, loyal but can be very stubborn. He requires an active family, a lot of mental stimulation (enrichment, training) and an experienced handler. Beetle may look more like a Collie, however, his temperament is more Husky. He’s vocal and full of attitude which although part of his charm, can be misunderstood by inexperienced dog handlers. Therefore we are looking for a home where the family have previous Husky experience. Beetle is a strapping, handsome, young male (approximately 2 years of age), so his potential adopters will need to be physically fit as he can be strong when he sees something of interest. However, he does have the potential to walk nice on lead, mostly in quiet areas (his favourite).While Beetle has been with us at the centre, he has had lots of training. He’s very curious and has walked out with some of the dogs at the centre. When meeting other dogs, it can be overwhelming for him and he can be intense and vocal when first meeting, but will settle after he calms. Beetle may go with another dog, however, they will need to be calm and able to handle Beetle's high and boisterous energy. He will not be allowed to go with cats or small mammals. Although Beetle can come off as intense, all he needs most is socialisation. He’s very curious about the world around him and needs a confident and adventurous family to show and teach him about new experiences (all in a positive and supportive manner). While Beetle has been at the centre, he hasn’t been happy in kennels. He is currently on behaviour medication to help him cope with the stresses of kennels and his potential adopters will need to continue and wean him off appropriately with the help of vet advise. More information will be provided upon request.Beetle has some guarding behaviours when it comes to his toys, which he loves very much. He’s also very independent and will only accept touch and attention on his terms. When he does want that human interaction, he can be a very loving, loyal and affectionate companion. With this in mind We are looking for an adult only home, no children (living or visiting the home) under the age of 16 years.

Belle (right on pic) is a 10 year old Jack Russel Terrier who was handed over to us with her brother Buttons after their behaviour changed with a new baby in the house. They have been friendly with staff here since they arrived but cannot be in a home with children and would be best as the only dogs in the house. They have lived together their whole lives so we would like if they could be rehomed together. They are house trained, crate trained and have some basic training. They walk nicely on the lead.

Meet Ben – our Boxer/Staffie cross looking for his forever home.Ben is a young lad of around three years old who hasn’t had the easiest start. Through no fault of his own, he’s found himself in our kennels twice already. He struggles in kennels and exhibits some of the bad habits he has picked up in his previous home.Ben has spent plenty of time in a volunteer’s home, and he settles beautifully. He relaxes quickly and starts to exhibit the great dog he can be with the right level of structure and training. He loves human and wants to please and be rewarded. He enjoys a game of ball in the garden and definitely enjoys cuddling with humans.He is reactive to dogs walking in and out of the kennels but isn’t reactive outdoors on a walk. We feel Ben is dog friendly, but would need careful introductions. On the lead he can be protective of his handler and we know this can be improved with correct training. Overall he walks well on the lead and we know he has had some previous training in this area.Ben will make a great companion for the right person who is prepared to continue his training and provide him with structure and discipline as well as affection.

BreedSt Bernard

Benji is officially a cuddle-monster who loves people, despite all the terrible hardship he has endured.Found abandoned and abused on the streets in Greece, Benji was in a horrific state when we were asked to support his rescue last year. We have been sponsoring him ever since and in that time he has gained weight and is now fit and well. He is negative for all blood borne diseases including Brucellosis. Benji is friendly with other dogs and doesn't bother with cats so could live in a multi pet home with careful introductions. He will however need feeding separately as he was starved.As you can see from his video, Benji adores people and loves nothing better than cuddles and affection! He can live with children aged 14 and above. He will need to be neutered when he reaches maturity (neutering will be a condition of his adoption). Watch his video - we challenge you not to smile! And please reach out to us about beautiful Benji (spelt with and without an ā€œeā€)
