Ten dogs are newly available for adoption from Dogs Trust Merseyside, including Labradors, a beagle and a Dutch shepherd.
The animal rescue charity had a "phenomenal month" in October when they rehomed 86 dogs. Rescues centres have been warning of an "animal welfare crisis" in recent months as growing numbers of people look to give away their pets due to the rising cost of living. This led to the Dogs Trust Merseyside opening a dog food bank for owners struggling to cope.
Some pets are abandoned in horrible condition. Just last month, the ECHO reported on a kitten with no fur being thrown over the wall of one rescue centre in a freezer bag. But many cash-strapped centres are struggling to keep up with the demand and need people to offer warm, loving homes for animals.
