Patch – 6 year old male Cross-Breed
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
7May2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MORETyson – 8 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
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!
I am a very good boy in the house and promise to behave myself. All I need is one chance to prove myself, please give me a chance, I’ll cover you in silly sloppy Staffordshire Bull Terrier kisses! All my love, Tyson x
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
3May2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREGeorgie – 8 year old male Cross-Breed
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
3May2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MORETigger – 7 year old male Cross-Breed
Hello everyone, my name is Tigger and I the most pleasant dog you could hope to meet. I am active and lively for my age, they say I am 7 but I am so fit and healthy I say I’m really only 3! My temperament and personality match that of a saint! I am so enjoyable to be around and one of the most docile canines on the planet. I am always on my best behaviour and really do wear my heart on my sleeve. I am extremely obedient and loyal and never want to leave your side.
I am amazing with other dogs and am already well trained. I know lots of commands such as “sit” and “lie down” and take treats ever so gently from your hand. I may seem a big dog but I am more cuddly and softer than a teddy bear. Every night when I go to sleep at the back of my kennel, I pray for a new mummy and daddy. I just want to love and be loved, it’s in my nature.
Anyone who decides to adopt me will not be disappointed, I will make the perfect addition to any household and will bring so much love and life to it. Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and kisses, Tigger x
3May2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREBracka – 6 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Hello everyone, my name is Bracka (Hebrew for blessing) and I’m a gorgeous 6 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier. My tag number here is 7 but I have not had much luck in my short life. I was born with a bone deficiency in my legs and which has made them slightly bent, and although they don’t cause me any trouble I can be a bit wobbly sometimes. It’s really upsetting me being here, as I see all the other dogs going out and being adopted whilst everyone seems to walk past me.
I play very nicely with some of the dogs here at the Home. Despite all have been through, I am extremely happy and friendly and will always greet you with a warm smile and a waggy tail. I LOVE cuddles and will happily try and sit on your knee to make the most of them. I detest being in this kennel and get more depressed each day I am in here. I long to be with a family who will love me and treasure me forever.
I love small comforts in life, mostly couches, the sofa, the settee, cushions and especially the back seat of a car! They make me feel extra cosy and support my legs properly. If you have room in your house and heart for a big Staffordshire Bull Terrier and have a vacant couch in your sitting room, please consider giving me your blessing and take me home with you today. All my love and sloppy kisses, Bracka x
15Apr2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREJacob
Hello everyone, my name is Jacob and I am 4 year old Rottweiler Cross and if you are looking for a lovable, obedient dog that you can have lots of fun with, look no further! I am already splendidly trained and know a huge number of commands including, “down” and “stay”. I love practicing all my tricks and would love to do them all day long with you, and maybe you could even teach me some new ones.
I love having a job to do, which is normally carrying my toy around with me and making sure I give you lots of love and kisses. I am super friendly and will happily sit by your side all day long. I am not coping very well in my kennel and am getting very frustrated, so much so that I have begun pacing backwards and forwards and around in circles in my kennel.
The reason is I’m so bored as no one is coming to play with me or letting me give them loves. As soon as I step foot outside me kennel I immediately spring back to life. All I need is someone to give me a chance, I’ll prove to you just how truly amazing I am. Ask to see me! All my love and licks, Jacob x
19Mar2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MORETaylor – 1 year old male Cross-Breed
Hello everyone, my name is Taylor and I am such a sweetheart. As you can tell I have not had a very easy start to life. I am a 1 year old medium sized cross-breed male and was born with a slight deformity which left my front paw turned outwards. It is not too noticeable and I do make up for it with my model like good looks. As the saying goes, it is what’s on the inside that counts and my insides are all made out of all things sweet and cotton candy!
I am such a good boy with an exceptionally charming personality and I never let my deformity get me down. My only worry in life is that no one will want to pick me at the Home due to the way my little leg looks and this does make me very upset. I get scared that I will be the only dog left at the Dogs’ Home and no mummy or daddy to love me. This breaks my heart as I have so much love to offer and companionship is right at the top of my priority list.
I dream of the day someone realises what a special boy I am and say those three words every dog longs to hear… “I love you!” Could you be the one to make my dream come true? I am ready and waiting if you are. I just want to love you back. All my love and sloppy Licks, Taylor x
