Dogs Trust Merseyside

@NiallHarbison I've just finished reading "Tina" which features Shaq's story, this is so wonderful to see.

There’s one dog who is very special to me. Shaq. He is probably the most serious and successful case we’ve ever had. This was the first picture I was ever sent of him. Yesterday I went back to see him. (1/7)

The temperature is still climbing! 🥵 We're under a red heat warning at the moment and we're utilising wet towels, shade and cool mats for our dogs, as well as switching up our routines to make sure they get exercise first thing before it becomes too warm. #Heatwave #Dogs

Rabies. Deadly. Ancient. Unimaginable. It takes a life every 9 minutes and once symptoms show, it’s too late – death is inevitable. But there is hope. Through canine vaccination, education and surveillance we can end rabies for good.

Older dog Betty was abandoned with no one coming to claim her when she found herself at the dog pound. Thanks to our loyal supporters, we were able to be there for Betty and bring her to safety. But there are still so many older dogs, just like Betty, who are being overlooked.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the dogs wanted to share some tips for taking care of yourselves ❤️ #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

We're thrilled to introduce you to our newest Sponsor Dog - it's Angus! 7 yo Angus has been in our care since March '24. If you sponsored him you'd be able to visit him too as he's so friendly with people❤️ Angus is still available for adoption here bit.ly/3R573uz

None of us can be sure what the future holds. But with our free Canine Care Card, you can be sure your dog will be loved and cared for no matter what. Should something happen to you, we promise to help your dog get back on their paws 💛 Find out more ➡️ bit.ly/4qRgPNu

@MrAndrewCotter To witness zoomies is an absolute privilege.

And yes, I know the rules. Sporting post = Olive / Mabel update. So here they are, getting on but still doing their thing. Whatever that might be.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

'Twas the night before Christmas when Pete and the pups sat face to face, to read a festive story about their future #HappyPlace 💛🎄 [Video Description: Pete sat down with some of our centre dogs and staff in front of a Christmas tree reading a Dogs Trust themed Xmas story.]

It's the last day of our 12 Dogs of Christmas and the honour goes to... Mazda! This loving playful girl recently found herself in our care after a family emergency. She makes human friends very easily and is always happy to introduce herself! dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

A big thank you to Prescot Pets at Home for supporting us during their Pets Foundation Santa Paws appeal, and an even bigger thank you to everyone who donated in-store, your support makes a huge difference. @petsfdtnuk @PetsatHome

This smiling face takes us almost to the end of our 12 Dogs of Christmas! Nala has been let down a lot in her life and she's looking for a family that will let her start again. She is smart and silly in equal measures and just loves to play with toys. dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

It's day 10 of our 12 Dogs Of Christmas! Toby may look like a very distinguished gentlemen but he's only four years old! We had him in our care as a pup and he was returned some time ago through no fault of his own. dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

The Christmas countdown continues and our star today is Zula, a two year old Malinois. This girl is incredibly bright and quick to learn and she would be a perfect companion for someone who enjoys dog training. dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

Little Linda is our day eight Christmas star! This girl may be small but she is also mighty and she simply vibrates with excitement at the sight of a tennis ball! dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

Day 7! Ayka has our 12 Dogs of Christmas well under way now, this super smart girl has been with us a few months. She's very switched on and has been learning lots of tricks with her handlers, now she's just waiting for you to come along and adopt her! dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

It's our 12 Dogs of Christmas! We're counting down to the big day and we're half way there now with Squash. She's a big two year old Dobermann cross looking for a family that can take her on lots of adventures in 2026! dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

It's Ronnie Barker! Day 5 of 12 Dogs of Christmas brings you Ronnie, a mature Cocker Spaniel who is looking for an adult home with people who will respect his spaces. Ronnie loves his walks, especially going off site with Linda and Dave, his fave vols. dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…

Everyone's favourite potato stars in of our 12 Dogs of Christmas! Dora is the most wonderful little Frenchie with bags of character and she loves nothing more than rolling on her back on the ground! She's so affectionate and loves to curl up with you. dogstrust.org.uk/rehoming/dogs/…
