Roy – 7-8 year old male Cross-Breed
Howdy, I am Roy (ref 93051). I am a lively little fella, especially around people. I could do with a quiet place to call my home with lots of cuddles and grooming – that’s my absolute favourite.
Getting my nails and hair done – I love it. I am house trained and available to be fostered if you want me.I have been micro-chipped and neutered. I really need a family where there will be somebody with me most of the time. I tend to howl and call you home when you leave. It’s just I miss you that’s all, or maybe I just need a home miles away from anywhere – he he.
Well if you want me I’m here and waiting to give you lots of wuf
From Roy XX
Tag – 8 year old male Collie Cross
Hello there, my name is Tag. I am very friendly, even with strangers that I have never met before. I am looking for a quiet home as I am not a young pup anymore.
I have been out on foster and liked being part of a family. I am house trained, neutered and chipped and I really enjoy my toys. In return for a lovely new home you can have lots of love from me too. I am a good boy and would really like to get out of the dogs home soon. I will just be here waiting
Lots of wufs and licks

Molly – 18 month old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Hello I’m Molly (ref 93427) I bet you had to look twice at me ‘cos you thought I was a tiger didn’t you he he – it’s just the colour of my coat! Do you think it’s pretty?
I am in need of a new home because my last owners didn’t like that I wasn’t a little puppy anymore. I am getting a bit down in the dumps here at the home as I have been here a while. I really am a nice girl, very friendly and loving. I am house trained, microchipped and I love my toys and playing with them. Do you want to take me home and we can play together? I can be a little nervous sometimes but I am not aggressive, I just want somebody to call my own.
Thanks for looking at me even if you just thought I was a little tiger!
Lots of Wuf
Molly XX
Mr Wiggles – 4-5 year old male German Shepherd Cross
Hi there, im Mr Wiggles (ref 93840) If you are wondering about my name, the nice girls at the dogs home gave it to me because I wiggle my bum with my tail to let everybody know when I am happy. I had been bitten on my head when I came here, it was quite nasty, but I am all better now.
I sometimes growl at other dogs because of this but if you tell me to stop I will do straight away like a good boy. I really don’t like the hosepipe but I am good when left alone and can sit and stay (I can shake my paws too but that’s just me showing off!). I have been fostered before and they only had good things to say about me because I love to be around people and am well behaved. I’d love the chance to be rehomed or fostered again and I have also been chipped and neutered. Well hope to see you soon
Lots of licks and bum Wiggles X
Sam – 7 year old male Collie Cross
Hi, my name is Sam. I am a lovely little chappie who has been here quite a while. I am very friendly and I really enjoy walkies – well what I REALLY enjoy is smellies.
I love to sniff and there is just so much good stuff to smell when I am out and about, it’s fab. I know how to do my best sit down for you and can even shake a paw. I would love a nice new home and would make it all worth your while with lots of cuddles and licks. Come say hello if you visit the home and maybe we could be bestest of friends. I have also been chipped and neutered. Thanks for reading about me

Cain – 5 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Hello everyone, my name is Cain and I am 5 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. I am super friendly and extremely obedient. I am a bit of a cross between superman and batman, I’ll be dashing around making sure everything is okay and appear right back by your side as if magic making sure you are okay and well. I have a very caring nature and my manners are magnificent.
I take treats very nicely from your hand and know lots of different commands. I ended up at the Dogs Home through no fault of my own, my previous owners didn’t have enough time to spend with me. This made me very sad and I am desperately seeking some new owners who I can care for and who will love me forever. I am extremely good with children and am tolerant of other dogs. Please give me a chance, I’d love to be your wonder dog! All my love and licks, Cain x

Hello everybody, my name is Ben and I am a 9 year old medium sized cross-breed male. Now I know 9 may sound old to some, but if you met me and didn’t know my age you would think I was 2. I am a big pup at heart and boy does it show! I do have a confession to make though, I am a stick-a-holic, I am addicted to sticks. I am overwhelmingly well behaved and so obedient, I’d give Lassie a run for his money.
I know my name and come back to you when I’m called, I also know numerous commands. As you may have gathered, my favourite hobby is stick chasing and chewing, I will get you to play as well by barking at you till you join in (not so much with the chewing part, I’m happy enough to let you just throw it for me). I am extremely affectionate and have the best manners a dog could ever hope for. I am not asking much from life, just someone to love me and appreciate my stick fetish.
I have large outbursts of energy and love to run about. I am house-trained and good with children and other dogs. I remain indifferent toward cats. I will make an ideal companion for any household (providing they don’t live in a log cabin as the temptation to chew through the walls would be too great). Please give me a chance, I definitely wont let you down. All my love and sloppy kisses, Ben x

Hello everyone, my name is Jacko and I am a 4 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross male. I am very obedient and know lots of commands such as “sit” and “speak”. I am rather intelligent and will come to you when you call me providing there is a tasty treat near by. I am extremely handsome and as you can see from my photo I’m a bit of a poser. My favourite features are my sticky up ears, the white blaze down my face and my extremely curly tail.
I am sociable with both people and dogs (as long as other dogs don’t pick on me) and love to play games and go for walks. I have lots of energy and as I am clever would benefit from activities such as agility and flyball if you are looking for a dog to fun stuff with. I adore attention and love interacting with people, especially when they offer me a treat! Anyone trying to win me over can wave a boneo in front of my face and I’m their friend for life!
I have not had any security in my life and my past owners never really cared about me, I am desperate to show someone how deserving I am of being loved and what a FANTASTIC pet I would be if you decide to adopt me. You could even take me on foster to see if I am the dog you have been dreaming of. I’m such a good boy, please give me one chance. I’ll be ready and waiting… All my love and sloppy kisses, Jacko x
9Jun2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREBobby – 9 year old male German Shepherd
Hello everybody, my name is Bobby and I am one of the gentlest dogs you will ever meet. I am a German Shepherd in my senior years at 9 years old but have tons and tons of life in me yet, don’t let the grey hairs fool you! I am such a sweetie pie and love to be in the company of people. I am not asking much from life, just someone to love me and who I can love in return. I am becoming very depressed in my kennel as everyone seems to walk straight past without even giving me a glance.
Outside my kennel I am a completely different dog, I spring to life and take great interest in everything around me. I love to roll around on the grass and give myself a good back massage and will gently play with you whilst I do so. I take treats very softly and am not a greedy dog. My temperament and personality are wonderful and I will make a very faithful companion. All I need is a little love and TLC to make my eyes shine once more and my tail wag again.
I am house trained and know lots of commands. I am ready and waiting to find love; could you be the one to love me? All my hugs and sloppy shepherd kisses, Bobby x
8Jun2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MORECandy – 4 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Hello everyone, my name is Candy and I am a very sad and lonely little girl. I am a 4 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who is quite nervous and insecure and needs lots of love and TLC. I have had little training and no love in the past few years of my life and this is evident in the way I act around people. The staff at the Dogs’ Home have been working with me and I am slowly starting to come out of my shell.
I am not used to being fussed over or paid attention to and I find being stroked a strange activity but I am getting rather fond of it! The more time I spend around people the more I learn how to interact and my next goal in life is to find someone to love and cherish me. The sad fact is that I really am as sweet as my name and despite my unfortunate start to life remain positive and will make a superb companion and amazing new best friend.
I am very pretty and am trying desperately to form a secure bond with anyone who offers me treats! I adore any treat and this is going to make it very easy for me to be trained in the future. I am really looking forward to the day someone empathises with my sob story and will take me home with them and love me like I deserve. Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and lots of kisses, Candy x
