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 MORE APPLICATIONS FOR THIS DOG. THANK YOU

Thinking of adopting a retired greyhound?
Greyhounds make amazing pets — gentle, affectionate, and far more chilled than people expect!
* What they’re like • Calm, quiet, and loving
• Happy in houses or flats - with a secure garden
• Sleep most of the day
• Often called “a cat in a dog’s body”
* Exercise • Just 2 short walks a day
• No need for daily running
• Off-lead only in secure areas
* Good to know • Many have a strong prey drive
• Cat compatibility varies
• Muzzles are normal at first - they're used to wearing one
• Slippery floors & stairs may be new
• Coats are essential — they feel the cold
* The emotional side - many have never lived in a home before, so they may need more time, patience, and reassurance. Once settled, they bond deeply and become incredibly loyal companions.
If you’re looking for a calm, loving dog who fits beautifully into home life, a retired greyhound could be perfect.

No. 4923:BUCKO (Neutered, Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)
RESERVED: Bucko has a new home.
Greyhound, male, date of birth 22.08.2022. He is brindle and he is large in size. He is a retired greyhound who has been signed over to the care of RDR by the trainer. Bucko is a gentle, friendly boy.
"What a treat I had this morning! I had the pleasure of meeting this gorgeous boy. He came out to meet me and was happy and wriggling with happiness and gave me a lovely friendly hello. Then we set off and he literally glided along by my side, with zero tension on the lead. He’s just gorgeous and has a perfect tiger coat, and is a large dog I’d say about hip height (I’m 5 feet 6). He’s as gentle and soft as you can imagine. He was brilliant passing all the other people and dogs and is curious but stands easily as we passed on a narrow path. We walked about 50 minutes and it felt like he was tiring on the way back. He had a soft poo which is natural after just coming into kennels but he has the most lovely temperament. I am sure anyone with a comfy sofa and looking for a companion would be very lucky to share their lives with this boy!"
Currently in emergency boarding Bucko will be going to his new home soon.
