Dozens of dogs and puppies are looking for forever homes in and around Liverpool, as families make the difficult decision to give up their pets due to the cost of living crisis.
Nearly seventy dogs are currently being cared for at Dogs Trust’s Merseyside rescue centre in Whiston, and are hoping to be matched with the perfect new owner.
Take a look at 11 of Dogs Trust Liverpool’s latest additions, who would love to be adopted and cared for in a loving home.
