A Greater Manchester animal charity is appealing to dog lovers to ‘think big’ when it comes to welcoming a four-legged friend into their home. Dogs Trust Manchester, in Denton, are appealing to find homes for some of their larger-than-life residents after finding themselves with the greatest number of big breeds they’ve ever cared for.
More than one-third of the dogs currently ready to find new homes - 15 out of 37 - are large dogs. These bigger breeds include the likes of Rottweilers, bull breeds, mastiffs and Great Danes. They're generally classified as dogs weighing over 22kg.
Staff at the kennels have highlighted some of the gentle giants in need of a new home, and want to encourage potential adopters to keep an open mind when it comes to choosing a pet to take home.
