The following dogs are currently at the Stray Dog Kennels and need Rescue Places

The following dogs are currently at the Stray Dog Kennels where they will need to stay for 7 days to allow their owner to claim them.

They cannot leave before the stated put to sleep date.

Unfortunately, the majority of dogs are not claimed so we have to find a safe place for these dogs within 7 days otherwise they are at risk of being put to sleep.

We DO NOT rehome stray dogs directly to the public, but can provide more details on these dogs should they move to another rescue or be signed over into our care.

There are currently no dogs in the stray kennels.

The following dogs are now safe in the care of Rochdale Dog Rescue.

The dogs featured below are now safe in the care of Rochdale Dog Rescue. Once a dog arrives into our care they will be assessed, health checked, neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. These dogs are available for rehoming; some of the more recently arrived dogs may be undergoing assessment still.

Please note that Rochdale Dog Rescue does not rehome to homes where there are children under 10 years of age.

We also need to ensure that if you do not own your own property the landlord has given their permission for a dog and any garden you have is fully enclosed and secure. We also need to make sure any dogs we rehome are not left 'home alone' all day and lastly that any other dogs you have are neutered.

We rehome within an approximate 100 mile radius of our base (but if you are close to this then please do ask us).

If you think you could offer any of the dogs a loving home then please complete our Rehoming Enquiry Form in the first instance.

Unfortunately sweet Dolly is back with us and is searching for a dedicated, loving forever home.

Dolly was recently returned after showing reactivity (lunging, barking, and growling) towards other dogs when out and about. It’s a challenging situation, but here is the key takeaway from her initial assessment with Manchester Dog Training Academy:

"Her behaviour is rooted in FRUSTRATION, not aggression.
Before her recent adoption, Dolly lived happily in a foster home with multiple dogs and showed none of these signs, which gives us huge hope! Her current frustration is often increased when owners move their dogs away—confirming her need for careful, constructive training.

She has so much potential and enthusiasm, and we are now working hard on a specific training plan to teach her to manage her frustration and choose calmer behaviours."

We need a home where her family are committed to continuing her positive, reward-based training.

If you are interested in giving Dolly the loving home she deserves and helping her continue this amazing training process, please contact us, details as below.

No. 4914: TILA (Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)

Tila needs a new home.

Pomeranian, female, born 10.07.2024. She is white, she has a long coat and she is small in size. Due to unusual circumstances she needed help so RDR stepped in; she is currently in emergency foster with other dogs. Tila is a lovely little dog who will need regular grooming!

"Tila is a delightful 1 year old Pomeranian with a heart full of love, she is the sweetest natured dog.

Tila has spent the last 4 months in kennels due to no fault of her own, so is currently enjoying the home comforts of a foster home. She’s working on her house training and is very good at using puppy pads. Although she’s a bit confused about going outside due to her time in kennels, with patience and gentle guidance, she will get there.

Tila gets along wonderfully with small dogs but she can be a bit feisty around larger dogs when she’s out and about in the street, she’s just showing her spirited side - she simply prefers the company of her own size.

Tila perfect day involves short, leisurely walks where she can stop and explore every scent along the way, and then curling up on your lap for cuddles. She has a big appetite and adores her food, which makes training and bonding even easier."

No. 4915: RUBY (Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)

Ruby needs a new home.

German Shepherd/Border Collie Cross, female, born 28.03.2024. She is black with a white star on her chest, she has a smooth coat and she is medium in size. She has been signed over, with her sister River, to the care of RDR due to change in their owner's circumstances. Ruby is so terrified of her current circumstances that we are urgently seeking an emergency foster home for her; she is fine with other dogs so she may do well with a stable and calm dog to show her the ropes!

Ruby's home will need to be patient and experienced. She needs a very calm home so no children please.

No. 4917: AGNES (First Vaccinated & Microchipped)

Agnes needs a new home.

Cross Breed (Labrador/Staffie?), female, approximately 12-14 weeks old. She is light tan with white on her chest, she has a smooth coat and she is currently small in size. She was found as a stray; she is now in the care of RDR in an emergency foster home with another dog and cats. Agnes is a lovely, friendly puppy who is good with other dogs and cats.

"Meet Agnes:

What a beautiful, well-mannered and smart girl our foster puppy Agnes is!

We picked her up on Tuesday night and brought her home — she travelled like an absolute star. She actually met Patch in the car when I collected her, and it was love at first sight for both of them. When we got home she met the cats too — no issues at all, she just wanted to give them a good sniff.

She was a little nervous exploring the house and had no idea what stairs were. She’s now mastered going up them… coming down is still a work in progress, but she’s getting there!

Agnes loves everyone she meets. She’s great with her food, has no negative behaviours around it, and she absolutely loves a carrot.

She already lets me know when she needs the toilet and she’s learnt her name in no time — such a clever girl!

She adores the garden, and I’m sure she’ll love her walks (when vaccinated) just as much. She’s bright, curious, and will really enjoy plenty of mental stimulation.

She’s full of life — exactly what you want to see in a happy 12-week-old puppy.

Little Agnes truly is a very special girl!"
