Please find us on Facebook where you can follow updates on all the dogs, find out about transport requests and fundraisers?
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 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.
No. 4907: ROSIE & DAISY (Spayed, First Vaccinated & Microchipped)
Rosie and Daisy need a new home.
Cocker Spaniels, female. Rosie is approximately 3 years old and she is chocolate in colour. Daisy is approximately 5 years old and she is chocolate and tan. They are both small in size. They were found as strays and are now in the care of RDR. They are thought to be daughter and mother, are lovely girls although very nervous of their current situation.
"I had the absolute pleasure of meeting these two very nervous ladies at kennels before I took them for their vet check this afternoon. Both girls walked beautifully towards me with Lucy but as soon as they saw that they were going in my car Daisy froze with her legs out and Rosie dropped to the floor with her tail between her legs. I had anticipated some reluctance from how they came to be in kennels but I was prepared with two soft beds and dog seatbelts in my car, some treats and also my wonderful daughter who sat in the back of the car keeping them calm while I drove. Daisy was placed in the boot on a bed and settled quicker than Rosie who kept standing up and pacing the back seat. She wanted to see Daisy and check on her with kisses but as the journey went on she began to settle and even cuddled into my daughter.
At the vets I decided to take Daisy out first because she was in the boot. Daisy didn't want to leave the boot and kept her head down, not looking at me. I gave her lots of positive attention and she slowly crept towards me and I carefully lifted her out of the boot. Again, she spread herself down on the floor and froze, so I encouraged her to walk inside to get weighed with positive praise and a few treats. Back at the car she tried to hide herself when our trusted vet came over but she did allow him to do all the usual checks while I stroked her head and gave her praise.
Next it was Rosie's turn and she was more confident than Daisy although still very nervous and timid. She allowed our trusted vet to do all of his usual first checks and she made her way over to the grass to relieve herself before getting back in my car - easier this time than the previous time.
Given how much Rosie relies on Daisy, it is believed that they're related, potentially Mother and daughter. I saw improvement throughout the visit and once they realised we wanted to help not harm them they openly accepted affection and attention with a few little tail wags thrown in. The girls travelled much better on the way back to kennels - Daisy enjoyed some lovely cuddles while Rosie let the wind from the open window blow through her ears."

No. 4908: DOLLY (Microchipped)
Dolly needs a new home.
Crossbreed, female, date of birth 16.04.2024. She is black and fawn mix, she has a rough coat and she is medium in size. She was found as a stray and is now in the care of RDR. Dolly is a very friendly girl who is strong on the lead. Dolly is still looking for a home, she's a little excitable with other dogs at the minute so until she's had some training and learns how to greet dogs politely we feel that she would be better as an only dog.
You will find full details of this dog in her album in the photo's section on Facebook or if on FB by clicking on the link above to their album.

No. 4906: COLIN (Neutered, Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)
RESERVED: Colin needs a new home.
French Bulldog, male, date of birth 10.12.2018. He is fawn with a black mask and he is small in size. He was found as a stray and he is now in the care of RDR. Colin is a friendly boy who seems fine with other dogs.
"I met Colin this morning. We walked along the lane, together with Toby and Archie. Colin showed a friendly interest in them but no aggression at all. Colin walked nicely on his lead and is very affectionate. You only need to crouch down and he'll come over to you for a nice cuddle. He looks to have a lovely gentle temperament and I'm sure he won't be with us for long!"
Currently in emergency boarding Colin will be going to his new home soon.
