Bryn – 4 year old Boxer Cross
Hello everyone, my name is Bryn, I am a 4 year old Boxer cross and I am a gorgeous little boy. I will do any thing to please you and I can even do some tricks. I have just passed my Bronze Good Citizens Award as I am so well behaved. My previous owners never gave me much attention or love so I became very good at jumping the fence, looking for somebody to love me.
I am sure if the right family came along and showed me lots of love I will stop doing my Houdini routine! I am extremely good with children and I think you will all agree I am one handsome brute! I would benefit from lots of exercise as I have lots of energy and I love to play games.
I am so well behaved and all the staff at the Home have fallen in love with me. I am already house-trained and I am very intelligent so we can have lots of fun together learning new tricks. I am okay with other dogs but would prefer to be the only dog in the house as I really need a bit of a fuss made of me; I haven’t really had a brilliant start to life. However, I have very high hopes about my future. All my love and kisses, Bryn.

Hi, I’m Howard, I’m a 7 year old male medium sized-cross breed. I know that I jump about a lot in my kennel but that’s because I’m so pleased to see you…every time I see people walk past my kennel I’m leaping about barking ‘PICK ME, PICK ME’…but no-one has as yet.
If you’d just meet me outside then you’d see that I’m not always so giddy. Actually I’m quite the gent. I will sit for a tasty treat and I like to play with other dogs. Because I’ve been in the Dogs’ Home for such a long time (since July) I might need a bit of training and TLC to get me used to living in a house again. But once I’m settled in, I’m sure I’ll be the perfect pet because I’ll be so grateful to you. Please give me a chance.
Lots of Woof, Howard!

Hi, I’m Seth. I’m a lovely well mannered medium sized older cross-breed. I walk very nicely on a lead and I will sit and shake hands with you in exchange for a tasty treat. As you can see I might be a have the odd streak of silver through by fur but I’m still a handsome boy that has the “puppy dog eyes” technique down to a fine art!
I like being around other dogs, all I need is a nice comfy warm place to lay my head, lots of love and a few decent meals inside me and I’ll be your very own faithful friend. Plus, because of my impeccable manners I shouldn’t cause the trouble that you’d get with a naughty little puppy! Please give me a chance to show you what a good boy I am.
Lots of woof, Seth.
18Mar2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREConan – 12-16 month old male Terrier Cross
Hi, I’m Conan. I’m a 12-16 month old Terrier cross male. I’m a cheeky little chap that needs a little work with regards to training. But with a bit of help I’ll be a lovely little dog. I’m quite affectionate and love my fusses.
Whilst I’ve been in the dogs’ home I’ve made really good friends with Barbara my kennel mate, so the staff here think that I might get on better with girl dogs than boy dogs. I think I just need some decent training for a young dog, such as walking nicely on the lead and getting to meet other dogs away from the stressful environment of the kennels.
With a bit of hard work at first and lots of TLC I think I’ll make a wonderful, faithful pet for life. Please give me a try. Lots of Woof, Conan!

Hi, I’m Barbara. I’m a 2 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. I get very excited in my kennel when I see people walking past my kennel, but if you ask a member of staff to get me out you’ll see that I’m not always like that. Don’t get me wrong I am quite an excitable dog that LOVES running around and playing.
In the dogs home I haven’t got on very well with some of the dogs so I might be best being the only dog. Although me and Conan get on great! I have been adopted from the home already but my ‘parents’ through I was a bit lively to be around their very young children. But they did say that I’m generally a lovely dog, I know sit, down and come and I’m house-trained.
With the right owners I’ll be a brilliant dog! I just need to get away from the stress and noise of the kennels and have a decent routine in a loving home. Please give me a chance. Lots of Woof, Barbara
18Mar2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MOREBetty – 10 month old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross
Hi, I’m Betty a 10 months old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross female. I’m quite a giddy girl in my kennel that’s just me trying to get your attention! I do need a bit of training to get me to walk on the lead a little better than I do at the moment. But I do know other commands already such as sit and paw.
I’m also house trained already, the nice people that took me for a holiday at Christmas time said that I’m okay to be left on my own for about four hours during the day. I get on well with other dogs and I like to run and play, but I also like to be fussed and groomed.
I think I’m best suited to someone is happy to put that initial effort into training me, so that I learn not to be quite so giddy now, while I’m young. Please give me a try. Lots of Woof, Betty
18Mar2008 | Manchester Dogs Home | READ MORECheqo
Hello everyone, my name is Cheqo and I’m a cheeky 5 year old cross-breed. I am as cute and cuddly as they come and have a HUGE personality. I love to run about after a ball and have invented a new game where you are the one who has to have to fetch it back!
I always have a smile on my face and am a very affectionate doggie. I love being around people and get on with other dogs. The vet said I could do with losing a few pound but I would have to argue I am incredibly gorgeous just the way I am and that there is just more of me to love!!!
I wear my heart on my sleeve and will be an excellent dog to train as I am very clever and will work very nicely for a toy or a treat. I have been in this kennel for a very long time and every night when just before I go to sleep I wish very hard for a family to come and adopt me, and love me for ever.
Please make my wish come true, I will make your life complete in return. All my love and sloppy kisses, Cheqo x

Hello everyone, my name is Paddy and I’m one of the most affectionate dogs you will ever meet. I am an 18 month old cross-breed with a heart of pure gold. I love to play with balls and lots and lots of treats, but I’d rather just cuddle up to you!
I love sharing my toys and when I’m out playing I’m never far from your side and I do come back to you when you call me (99.9% of the time!). I should be okay to live with other doggies. I am very friendly with everyone and have a beautiful personality and temperament and will make a fantastic family pet.
I have been told I’m a pleasure to be around and keep you smiling all day long. Please give me a chance to be your new best friend, I won’t let you down. All my love and licks, Paddy x P.S. Don’t I have the most amazing ears ever!

Hi there I’m Foxy the medium sized cross-breed. Please help me, I want someone to adopt me so I can have a stable home with friends and my own family. I want a mummy and daddy who will love me forever.
I am no trouble I am a very calm and affectionate dog. I also can understand several commands which I obey. Can’t you see I am a gorgeous, good looking canine and also you will agree I’m one of the best.
All I want to do is to curl up on your knee and fall asleep. I love to go on walks you can even let me off my lead and I stay close by especially if you have treats, we would be like paper and glue. Just please give me a chance and I will prove to you that I am a very good dog. Love and Licks Foxy!! Xx
