The North West is a diverse region for rescue dog adoption, combining major cities with countryside and coastal areas. Dogs rehomed here are often matched carefully to suit busy households, families or more rural lifestyles. Many rescues across the region work with dogs from challenging backgrounds, focusing on rehabilitation before rehoming. Adopting within the North West helps give dogs the opportunity to settle into supportive, long-term homes.

Meet our super smiley boy, Alfie!Alfie is a beautiful, happy boy that likes to give you lots of smiles and tail wags when he sees you! He has such a friendly nature and is always a giddy boy! Everybody who meets him says how wonderful and friendly he is! He does walk nicely for our volunteers and staff around our woodland area and loves going for his walks. He is always so excited to be shown attention and has a smile on his face the whole way round! He does like to jump up at you and give you lots of kisses! He also has the cutest feet that you will ever see too!He can be vocal towards other dogs on his walks, so would benefit from further socialisation and training. We do feel that he could potentially live with another dog of a similar temperament and energy level, subject to a successful dog meet.As Alfie can be quite lively so he would be best suited to a household with children aged 12 years and older – subject to a successful meet.Alfie did live with a foster family for a little while where they said he was the most perfect dog so we would love to share more information about this to potential adopters! He is just the loveliest, friendliest, happiest boy that you could ever meet and he has so much love to give to his new family! He has waited so patiently for his time to be chosen! Do you think you could give this gorgeous boy a chance at his forever home?

BreedFrench Bulldog

Alfie is a lovely boy who has found himself in our care through no fault of his own. He had only been with them for a short time, and we’re now focused on finding Alfie the stable, loving home he deserves.Alfie is a well-mannered boy who is fully house trained and can be left alone without distress, settling well, making him an easy companion to live with.He walks nicely on the lead and enjoys getting out and about, although recall isn’t his strong point at the moment, which may be linked to current ear discomfort. Alfie is currently being treated for a haematoma in one ear (which you can see in the pictures) and appears to have had a previous one in the other. We will subsidise any further treatment needed for his ears, and he has been very patient throughout his care.

Greater Manchester
SexFemale
Age6 years
BreedGreyhound

Alice is a character, is full of personality and doesn't want to miss a thing. She especially loves toys and to pinch them off other greyhounds if possible!Alice is a very affectionate girl with all our volunteers and also loves to spend time with the other greyhounds. She has already spent some time in our enrichment (home from home) room which she fully inspected, enjoyed playing with toys, but was quite curious about the T.V. on the wall.For Alice we’re looking for a home with someone who has experience of larger dogs, but not necessarily greyhounds. We feel Alice would be happy to live as an only hound or could equally happily live with another male hound. She would benefit from the company of an adopter who is at home a large amount of time, and this is especially important during the initial settling in phase. We feel Alice would be best suited to live with older children 13 plus. Details of our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on

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 £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.
