Carrie – 9 year old female Cross-Breed
Hello everyone, my name is Carrie and I am a 9 year old medium sized cross-breed. I am a very good girl and one of the cleverest dogs you could wish to meet. I can open lots of contraptions including fridges, boxes, doors etc. I am extremely food motivated and will perform numerous tricks to make you give in and share your food.
I am extremely energetic for my age and in a very fit condition. I have lots of energy and love to run round burning it off. On the whole I am a very happy dog that just wants to love and be loved. I have adoration for life and live for adventure but I am also happy to snuggle up by your side and relax in your company.
I am house-trained and am happy to be left for a short time as long as you leave me something fun to do like a treat ball, that is if you don’t want to come back to an empty fridge! I am extremely entertaining and can be quite the comedian and always look on the bright side of life.
All I am looking for is one chance to prove to you why I am the dog you have been waiting for, a semi-perfect pooch! I am ideal for any family that doesn’t take life too seriously and that will share some laughs and may be their couch and dinner. All my love and sloppy kisses, Carrie x

Hello everybody, my name is Bruno and just like my size I am larger than life. I am a 6 year old Cross Breed and very interactive. I am house-trained and incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. At first when I am taken for a walk the staff members said walking me was like walking a rhinoceros, but after a good run round I walk very nicely on the lead.
My favourite game to play is tag and I will race round the field at the Home 1000 miles per hour, pretend I am heading straight for you then in the last second change direction. This slightly scared my carers but we all saw the funny side of it in the end! As you can see I have a HUGE character and a humorous personality and love to make you laugh, and am also a very gently boy that will take teats very nicely from your hand.
Despite being clumsier than an ox, I have very good manners but my new owner will have to be very firm (but kind) as sometimes I suffer from selective hearing. I am extremely sociable with people and love making up silly little games to play with you. I will make a SUPERB addition to any house hold, I am worth my weight in gold (40 kg!) and whilst out on foster was described as “an outstanding dog who doesn’t have a bad bone in his body”.
Have you got room in your heart and your home for a bubbly chap like me? Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and lots of sloppy kisses, Bruno x

Hello everyone, my name is Noble and I am a 2 year old male Rottweiler cross. As my name suggests, I am a noble fellow, very calm and composed. I am highly intelligent and have a splendid learning capacity. I am not the giddy sort and when allowed to run freely off lead I focus solely on you and prefer to be by your side. I am very loyal and faithful and respond quickly to commands (it also helps that I like my treats and biscuits!).
I am the sort of dog that would be perfect for an active family or an owner seeking adventure and companionship. I would be ideal for someone who is looking to do activities such as flyball and agility as I love to learn new things. I am very loving and affectionate and desperate to demonstrate this to anyone who is willing to give me 5 minutes of there time. I really will be a FANTASTIC addition to any household.

Hello everybody, my name is Patch and I am a 6 year old medium sized cross-breed. I am a little boy with a big heart. I can be quite independent when I want to be but my favourite thing in the world is snuggling up to you and giving kisses. I am house-trained and good with children. I am a bit of an adventure seeker and this has caused a few problems as I like to take myself out for one every now and again!
I am quite good at jumping fences! Maybe you could channel my energy in a more positive way like taking me for a long walk or doing fly ball with me, we would have so much fun!!! I am a soppy fellow and take treats very nicely from your hand. I hate being stuck in my kennel with no one to love.
I get very depressed when people don’t even stop to notice me, I am such a people pleaser and am desperate to show you affection. I will make a wonderful new addition to any household; all I need is one chance to prove it to you. Love and kisses, Patch x

Hello everybody, my name is Lucy and I am probably the best behaved, most loving dog in the whole entire world. I am 8 year old medium sized cross-breed who is extremely well behaved and do what ever I am told. Being the super obedient dog that I am, I never leave your side when I am off my lead (unless it’s to have a good roll around in the grass, I LOVE doing roly polys!).
My favourite hobby is sunbathing and I can spend all day soaking up the sun. My favourite game is snogging and if you sit down by my side I will happily push you down and smother you in kisses. My tail never stops wagging and I am always smiling. I will be the first to come and greet you out of all the dogs at the Home and I am SUPER sociable with other dogs. I have lived with children before and would not mind sharing my house with one as long as they are willing to tickle my tummy!
I am extremely affectionate and fun loving and only want to please and love you. I may look a little grey, but I have a whole, wonderful future ahead of me and I want to share it with you. Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and kisses, Lucy x
26May2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREMaggie – 8 year old female Collie cross
Hello everyone, my name is Maggie and I am a very nervous 8 year old Collie cross. When you first meet me I will probably very shy and cautious, but once I get to know you I will show you how cute and cuddly I am. I recently went into a foster home and was extremely well behaved.
I am house-trained and can be left for a reasonable amount of time in the house. I have a huge playful streak in me, I do like some toys and will try to entice other dogs to play with me, although I prefer males. I love long or short walks and do appreciate your company whilst outside. I am a very quiet dog and would prefer a house where it is calm and peaceful.
I love to give kisses and will make a very loyal and obedient new best friend. I have not had an easy life but look forward to sharing many years with some one to love me and treat me right. Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and licks, Maggie x

Hello everyone, my name is Tyson and I am one character. I am an 8 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, house-trained and with a HUGE love of toys. We could have hours and hours of fun together playing lots of different games like tug of war and Frisbee. I am a massive people fan and love to socialise, I am the Paris Hilton of the dog world!
I am currently sharing my kennel with another dog and may not mind sharing a house with one. I am extremely lovable and will sit patiently on your knee while you fuss over me and tell me how amazing I am. I am always a happy little boy but being stuck in my kennel everyday is making me very miserable. I am a true Staffordshire Bull Terrier and am dying to be around people and making myself centre of attention.
Who ever decides to adopt me will never be lonely or depressed as I have so so so much love and affection to offer and I am always making life into one big adventure. Don’t let my grey hairs fool you, I am not even nearly mature as I look!

3May2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREMaddox – 4 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross
Hello everyone, my name is Maddox and I am a 4 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. I am the Home’s clown and love a good joke. I am extremely puppy like and you can see this in everything I do despite being the size of a house! When I am in my kennel I can be quite shy and calm but the minute I get to play out I charge around the field playing and jumping.
However, I am obedient and will stay by your side, especially when there are treats about! I am a big softie and love to put my front paws on your chest and give you a good snog. I have previously lived in a house with cats in and was very good with them. I am very strong on the lead so would need someone with lots of energy to keep up with me and play lots and lots of games with me like tag.
I also need someone who is open to the idea of training as I think I might need some. Everything I do, I make into a game so training will be lots of fun with me!! I love to make people laugh and aim to please everyone I meet. I desperately hope someone realises what a brilliant dog I am and how much love and happiness I can bring and take me to live with them forever. Could it be you? All my love and kisses, Maddox

Hello everyone, my name is Georgie and I am an 8 year old male cross-breed. I am a very happy chappy and a bit of a comedian, I absolutely adore making people laugh. You only have to spend 5 minutes with me to find this out! I also have the funniest ears in the world, they don’t really do what I tell them to do and go in all different directions. As you can see I am a very handsome fellow and I always a hit with the ladies!
I love other dogs and would not mind sharing my house with them. I might not be a spring chicken; however I am still very young at heart. I am not asking much from life, just a cosy bed and some to cuddle up to and tell me what a good boy I am. I don’t really want to go for long walks but would appreciate a garden to rest in or a comfy basket.
I really am a wonderful dog who would like to spend his golden years inside a warm and loving house. What ever love you show me I will show you twice as much in return. Please give me a chance, I promise you I won’t let you down. All my love and sloppy kisses, Gorgeous Georgie x
