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. 4913: COCO & LEXI (First Vaccinated)

Coco & Lexi need a new home.

Shih Tzu Cross, female, both approximately 4-6 years old. They are pale tan and cream, they have long coats and they are small in size; they have now been groomed. They have been signed over to the care of RDR. Coco and Lexi are lovely, friendly girls who are a bonded pair looking for a home together.

"Today I had the absolute pleasure of collecting two very special little ladies – Lexi & Coco. Two terrier cross girls I’d say.

As soon as we all met, their tails never stopped wagging. They happily trotted to the car, let me scoop them up and were clipped in safely for our adventure (that’s how I pitched it to them as it was an hour long drive).

I was expecting nerves, noise or travel sickness. Instead I got silence. They were very content in the car. Great start girls well done. Not a single peep the entire journey.

When we arrived they hopped out of the car, tails wagging, full of trust and ready for the next chapter of their adventure.

These two girls are clearly a bonded pair and it was beautiful to see them looking at each other for reassurance and comfort as their worlds have been turned upside down. But they’ve got each other.

Lexi & Coco you’ve already stolen my heart. Whoever is lucky enough to adopt you both is going to be very, very happy.

You’re safe now girls now and loved already!"

"I met the two newbies this morning. Fran and I went into the kennels and popped their leads on. They seemed happy to go out for a stroll and immediately were very friendly. Coco is definitely the most confident and outgoing of the pair and planted her paws on my leg looking for fuss and treats. I’d been warned that they can be a little snatchy with treats but they were really good. We had a lovely stroll along a roadside before heading down to a nice park with an orchard. On the way a man came out of his home and Coco had a little bark, but no issues at all. They walk really nicely side by side, and although they weave a little they are pretty focused and it’s pretty rare for them to stop and sniff. They walk at a good pace and Coco usually takes the lead. Lexi is a little more gentle and tended to walk with no tension at all on the lead and just took it all in her stride. When we got into the park, two dogs off the lead came running over and the Labrador had his hackles up. The two of them couldn’t have handled it any better - they didn’t react at all, or send out any “vibes”, they just let the dogs sniff them, they sniffed a little back, then were happy to continue walking. These two are so lovely and gentle and I can’t wait to see their characters develop. An absolute joy to walk!"

No. 4914: TILA (First Vaccinated & Microchipped)

Tila needs a new home.

Pomeranian, female, born 10.07.2024. She is a 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."
