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.

No. 4905: TOBY & ALFIE (Neutered, Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)

Toby and Alfie need a new home.

Toby is ShihTsu/Pug Cross, male, date of birth 29.08.2016. He is sandy coloured with a black mask and he is small in size. Alfie is Lhasa Apso/Pug Cross, male, date of birth 30.10.2018. He is sandy and white and he is small in size. They have been signed over to the care of RDR due to the sad death of their owner. They are both being treated for a skin condition caused by a flea allergy. They are lovely boys!

"I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Alfie and Toby this morning. The trotted out happily to meet me, and after a wee sniff we set off. They are a small pair, and after their grooming, you can see that their skin has quite a lot of sore patches, which hopefully will start to clear. Despite their coat, their natures are just sunshine! They are confident, friendly and nothing seemed to phase them on our walk. They walk nicely on the lead, and will stop and sniff occasionally, and then happy to trot on together. The darker one (sorry I can’t remember which one is which) is more energetic and was in the lead for the walk and walked at a really nice pace, and kept stopping to check that his wee friend was keeping up. We saw a lovely man and his wee dog, and they were very friendly - had a wee sniff with no issues, then trotted on by. They took the biscuits gently, but then didn’t eat them, but did nibble on some of the cheese cubes in my pocket. They liked to see the cows but stood gently and just watched. I’d say a solid 10/10 for this wee pair of cuties!"

No. 4906: COLIN (First Vaccinated & Microchipped)

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!"

No. 4903: HANK (Neutered, Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)

RESERVED: Hank has a new home.

Mixed Breed (English Bulldog/French Bulldog/Staffie), male, date of birth 26.06.2024. He is chocolate brown with white on his head and chest and he is small to medium in size. He has been signed over to RDR due to the ill health of his owner; he has moved to emergency foster with other dogs, cats and older children. Hank is a lovely, friendly boy who knows commands, he is house and crate trained and he is good with other dogs and cats.

"I met Hank at kennels and what a lovely smoochie boy he is!

He had no issues having a lead on & passing the other dogs. It was warm so we just sat on the grass and had a play, he liked a belly rub & is super friendly. We had a mock wrestle and I lifted him onto my knee - he was totally fine being handled by a stranger.

The kennels pet Pug came over to inspect him and he shimmied low all submissive to greet her. His breathing is heavy & I heard him clear his throat a few times. I did have a slip lead on him but made sure it stayed loose, he will be fitted with an appropriate harness soon. RDR will be having him assessed prior to being posted for rehoming & if he needs surgery to make his breathing easier then he will get it, hes still a baby at 11 months & looks otherwise fit - he is a lovely colour & sweet face, sure he will be a cracker!"

Currently in emergency foster Hank will be going to his new home soon.
