Dogs may be man’s best friend, but right now in Manchester there are some beautiful animals who are waiting in shelters for the chance to be adopted and become someone’s new canine companion.
The Dogs Trust has launched a new campaign called Underdogs highlighting some of the four-legged friends who have been in its shelters for ages and who are desperate to find a perfect new home. And the organisation has teamed up with wine brand Leaps & Bounds to highlight the cause further. Special bottles of chardonnay are being distributed by Getir in parts of Manchester and you can find out about some of the underdogs by scanning the label on the bottle.
There are currently dozens of lovely dogs in Manchester searching for their forever home. Here we’ve picked out 11 of the canines in the city the Dogs Trust is currently looking to rehome - including the city’s underdogs.
