Terriers, shepherds and even an Akita cross are among the 14 dogs newly available for adoption from Dogs Trust Merseyside.
In total, 45 dogs, someone of them found as strays or subject to illegal procedures, are at the centre looking for new homes. Georgina Lowery, manager of Dogs Trust Merseyside, based on Whiston Lane in Huyton, said: "Dogs find themselves with us for a variety of reasons such as illness in the family, a change in working hours or accommodation or someone having to move into a care facility.
"Whatever the reason, it is always heart-breaking for owners to have to hand over their dog, but we can guarantee they will get everything they need whilst they are with us whether that’s off site walks, additional snuggles, training, treats, toys, or just sitting with a member of the team or a volunteer watching the world go by.
