The first thing you see on the Dogs Trust website at the moment is: “We’re running out of space.” Animal charities and shelters are overrun with abandoned or surrendered animals as more and more pet owners struggle with the cost of living crisis.
At Dogs Trust Manchester, there are currently 43 dogs up for adoption. There are pups of all ages, sizes and breeds – from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds.
If you’re thinking of adopting and have the means to do so, or if you are just in need of your cuteness fix for the day, here are 13 dogs in Manchester that currently need rehoming. If you want to know more about any of these pets, call the Trust on 0303 003 0000.
