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.

"Hello, my name is Jimmy, I'm a two and a half years old Dachshund x Jack Russell, I'm currently being looked after by my foster parents. My main obsession is my blue ball, I love my walks, cuddles and kisses. I'm looking for a forever family to love me and you won't be disappointed because I'm great at sitting on your lap and snuggling up to you. I'm currently in a house with another dog called Lily, a Cockerpoo, she 15 years old and we get on with each other but they also have cats and I won't let them in the house."

Jimmy will need an active home where he isn't left alone for too long and he's a little bit scared of big dogs, he will bark if they get too close. He's not confident around young children, he finds them a bit scary too.
