Rolo – 9 year old male Terrier Cross
Rolo is a 9 year old Terrier cross. He is one of the most placid, laid back chaps you will ever wish to meet. He came into our care after his owner was successfully prosecuted for leaving 18 small furries to die. The owner was banned from keeping animals and Rolo, along with two other dogs were confiscated from their owner.
Rolo will make an ideal first time dog – he doesn’t pull on the lead, he is great on walks, he is great with other dogs and loves cuddles. Rolo may seem too good to be true but he isn’t, he really has no issues and is very well behaved.
Since coming into our care Rolo has had a scale and polish and two teeth removed and he is fine and dandy now. This sweet natured dog really needs a new home for life.
10Mar2010 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MOREBob – 4 year old male Cross-Breed
This is Bob and he is a 4 year old male Cross-Breed. Bob is a medium sized cross breed dog; he is approximately 4 years old. Bob came into our care after he was abandoned by his owner, his owner was eventually traced and Bob was signed over into our care for rehoming. Bob was understandably very stressed when he first came into our care; he has slowly started to settle.
Bob has now been neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated and is waiting for his new forever home. Bob loves his walks, he seems to be good with other dogs but is more interested in routing and sniffing in the bushes and being a typical male and cocking his leg at every opportunity! Bob has just started to play with toys; he loves chasing a ball but soon gets bored. Bob is quite an affectionate dog he enjoys a cuddle but he still does not trust enough yet to let himself bond with another human, not surprisingly as he was abandoned by the last owner he had.
I am sure in the next few weeks as Bob settles more we will start to see his true personality shining through, and am sure he will make a fantastic addition to any family, could you be that lucky family?
24Feb2010 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MOREPoppy and Nipper – 3 and 5 year old female Jack Russell Terrier cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Labrador cross Collie
Nipper is a tan and white Jack Russell Terrier cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier, she is approximately 5 years old and doesn’t live up to her name! Poppy is a black Labrador cross Collie, she is approximately 3 years old and is a real sweetie but is very wary of strangers.
Poppy and Nipper are looking for a home together, they are completely inseparable. We are rehoming them as a buy one get one free offer to try to find them the new home they deserve together as soon as possible. They came into our care after their owner went to prison leaving behind 7 dogs, we took in Poppy and Nipper.
Nipper
Nipper is very giddy and loves to charge around with her toys although once she has them she is very reluctant to give you them back. Poppy is a very cuddly dog once she trusts you. Poppy and Nipper are looking for an experienced home without children.
Poppy
They are both very clean dogs and wait until they are out of their kennel to relieve themselves. Can you give this wonderful pair the 2nd chance at happiness they are desperately waiting for?
9Feb2010 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MOREHank – 7 month old male Mastiff Cross
Hank is a 7 month old Mastiff Cross; he is a huge bouncy puppy! Hank came into our care after his owners could no longer give him the care he needed. He is going to be a big dog and is looking for a new home with lots of space.
His new owners will ideally have experience with the breed and be willing to take him to training classes. Hank is stunning but he isn’t the brightest! He hasn’t had any training so is needing to start from scratch with everything.
He is great fun and loves leaping around in the exercise paddock; it took us ages to get him to stay still to have his photo taken! He will make a fantastic addition to any family although because of his size is probably best in a home without very young children.
9Feb2010 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MORERudy – 2 year old male Shih-Tzu Cross
Rudy is a two year old Shih-Tzu cross. We do not know what he is crossed with, it’s just that we know he is not a pure breed. He came into our care on New Year’s Eve in a very sorry state. He was taken off his owners for failure to seek veterinary treatment for an ulcer in each eye. We also found his fur was badly matted and he was a little underweight. Despite all this Rudy is the most adorable, charming dog you could wish to meet. He has such a wonderful character and does the best sulking when he doesn’t want you fussing with his eye drops!
Rudy is going to need a home where he is the centre of attention and will not be left for very long. He easily forms attachments and so we do think there will be potential for him to have separation anxiety so the best set up for him would be where he could go to work with you or be at home with someone all day. He is really ever so well behaved and would make a great office companion!
Rudy loves to play, as you can see in his picture, but what he probably loves more than anything else is a cosy, warm lap to sit on. Rudy will be a great addition to anyone’s home. He is so full of character and love and seems qute a happy go lucky chap.
Rudy’s ulcers are healing well but he will need ‘viscous tears’ administering daily for the rest of his life. This is because of his breeding, his eyelids do not lubricate his eyeballs sufficiently because they protrude so much and so they dry out, hence the ulcers at present. Viscous tears come in a gel form from the vet and are inexpensive and would be something a new owner would have to be prepared to pay for and administer. Rudy will also need regular grooming to avoid getting in a matted state again (he has since been professionally groomed).
10Jan2010 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MOREAxle – 2 year old male Cross-Breed
Axle is a 2 year old male Cross-Breed who came into our care in September 2009. He came from a home with 5 other dogs, all were unneutered and, as he was the only male, he was kept locked in a room away from the female dogs. He is currently in a foster home, where we have established that he makes an excellent companion. He is good with cats, toilet trained and, when he’s not sleeping, he loves to have a play.
He can be initially shy upon meeting new people, but quickly over comes this and is very friendly and likes a fuss. Axle is a quick learner and mixes well with other dogs. He is good in the car and out on walks. Axle is an absolute pleasure to have in the home and would make a perfect addition to a family.
Kia – 4 year old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Kia is approximately 4 years old, she is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Kia came into our care with her daughter Lucy after being rescued from an abandoned property by an RSPCA inspector.
We were lucky to find a home for Kia and her daughter together but unfortunately, as her daughter has matured to full adulthood, Kia became intolerant of her and began to pick on her. Her owner then made the very difficult decision to separate the girls and return Kia, the instigator, to our care. Their owner was heartbroken as she truly loves them both but we feel she has done the right thing so now Kia is looking for a home on her own.
Kia is definitely a cuddle monster; she absolutely loves her cuddles and would much rather cuddle than play. Kia is also a big fan of treats so any new owner will have to be careful not to over feed her!
Kia is a very sweet gentle dog who is good all round. She has obviously been used for breeding in the past but has now been neutered. Please can you give this beautiful girl a 3rd chance in life?
11Dec2009 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MORESailor – 3 year old male German Shepherd Dog cross Collie
Sailor is a 3 year old German Shepherd Dog cross Collie. He came into care via the RSPCA Inspectors after his owners failed to care for him properly and he had lost quite a bit of weight.
Sailor is rapidly weight gaining and enjoying life once more. He absolutely loves toys, especially his tennis balls, and we are beginning to successfully train him to retrieve using either treats or toys as a reward. We find him to be an intelligent and energetic dog that will benefit from an active home and where he will be kept stimulated. Sailor is currently learning to roll over and to search for treats in the snow games and is really enjoying the training.
Sailor is eager to please and can get a bit carried away with himself by jumping up so he would be best suited to a home with older children. Sailor is semi long haired so will need regular brushing in his new home.
28Nov2009 | RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch | READ MORESasha – 5-6 year old female Rottweiler
Sasha is a gorgeous 6 year old female Rottweiler. She came into our care after being abandoned in a property with 3 other dogs; the owner had moved out and left them behind. Thankfully they were found and rescued and Sasha is the last to find a new home.
Sasha is a real favourite of ours. She is bags of fun and really very affectionate. She makes us laugh so much the way she plays and bounds around. She looks like a big bucking bronco the way she bounces around entertaining herself with toys and play. She is a beautiful, loving girl but she is, understandably, a strong dog. She is well behaved, doesn’t jump up and takes treats very gently so she has definitely been taught a few manners in her previous home. She is great with other dogs too.
Henry – 2 year old male Bichon Frise Cross
Henry is a 2 year old male Bichon Frise Cross who came into our care with Sasha the Rottweiler. They were found in an abandoned house along with 2 other dogs. Henry is always full of the joys of spring; he is a very lively little dog. Henry is great with other dogs, he would be ok to be rehomed with older children as he is so lively.
