A PINT OF THE BEST (OF LUCK) FOR PADDY!
Dogs Trust hopes Paddy will find a country home this St Paw-trick’s Day
Staff at Dogs Trust laid on a special St Paw-trick’s Day pint (of gravy and mash!) for Labrador Paddy this week ahead of Saturday’s celebrations. Paddy, who has been at the Merseyside rehoming centre since last summer looking for a home, hopes that Irish, and other dog-loving, eyes will be smiling on him this weekend.
Georgina Lowery, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre Manager, said:
“Paddy is such a sweet boy when he gets to know you but he can be wary of strangers and this means that he is being overlooked by visitors to the centre. He really needs a quiet rural home and Dogs Trust would consider homes anywhere in the country if the right owner can be found. We hope that he gets some attention this coming weekend, we’ll be decorating his kennel with shamrocks to make sure he stands out from the crowd!”
Dogs Trust is looking for an experienced adult only home for Paddy as he is so wary of people. New owners will have to be willing to make multiple visits to the centre to build a bond with him before taking Paddy home. He would prefer to be the only pet in the household and would need a quiet rural home.
If you would like to offer a home to any of the wonderful dogs cared for at Dogs Trust Merseyside, please call the Rehoming Centre directly on 0151 480 0660 or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk.
Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, caring for over 16,000 stray or abandoned dogs every year through its network of 17 Rehoming Centres across the UK.
A THIRD OF DOGS ARE STICKIES STUCK IN KENNELS
Dogs Trust Merseyside appeals on behalf of its overlooked dogs
Almost a third* of the dogs currently at Dogs Trust Merseyside are classed as ‘sticky’, meaning they have been in kennels for six months or more waiting to find a new home. The rehoming centre is making an appeal on behalf of two of its stickies, Dream & Dinky, to see if they can be ‘unstuck’!
Dogs can become sticky for a variety of reasons including: medical issues requiring treatment, age, socialisation or behaviour issues requiring treatment or just simply being overlooked by visitors.
Georgina Lowery, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre Manager, said:
“Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder there are some dogs we know will ‘fly out’ of our rehoming centres. Those dogs that fit people’s idea of what a rescue dog should look like – a scruffy, medium sized crossbreed with a cheeky look will always find a home quickly. Dogs that have a limb missing are often popular as people really feel they are helping to ‘rescue’ a dog. Similarly a dog that is friendly and approaches the front of his kennel wagging his tail or trying to lick or sniff their hands when people walk past, will get rehomed far faster than a dog that remains at the back of the kennel or doesn’t make eye contact.
“Although puppies are perennially popular, middle aged dogs are also a popular choice as the owner knows ‘what they are getting’. The hard work of toilet training and socialisation has been done and the dog can often fit into a household without the owners having to completely change their routine. It is older or ‘teenage’ dogs that can be harder to rehome.”
Although favourites with the staff at the centre, it may be the tricky teenage years that are putting people off offering homes for Dream and Dinky.
Dream
Female Lurcher Aged 1 ½ years
Dream is a lovely, lively Lurcher at Dogs Trust Merseyside. She needs a home where she can have time and effort spent with her on training as she is only young and can be a bit over exuberant. She loves to run and play but can be a little bit silly with other dogs so needs to learn how to socialise with others more. Dream is still only a young girl so needs a home with someone home most of the day to help with house training and basic manners. She would prefer an adult only home and would be best as the only pet.
Dinky
Male Staffie Cross Aged approximately 2 years
Dinky is a lovely boy who greets you with a big waggy tail each morning. He was an unclaimed stray that is now looking for a forever home. Dinky loves any fuss and attention and especially his walks. Dinky would fit into most family homes quite easily and can live with children over 10 years of age but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. He will need a nice active family where he won't be left for very long by himself. He can get a little bored by himself so does need some basic training and regular exercise.

SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR A HOMELESS HOUND THIS VALENTINE’S WEEK
Dogs Trust Merseyside appeals for toys for playful pooches
Dogs Trust Merseyside is making an urgent appeal for members of the public to donate dog toys for the homeless hounds at the Huyton rehoming centre.
Georgina Lowery, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre Manager, says:
“We really need people to show their love for a Dogs Trust dog by bringing us any new or second hand toys. Many of our dogs have had a tough start to life and we really want to make sure that their time with us, before they find a wonderful new home, is as fun as possible. Our stocks are really low at the moment, so we need your help!
“We are looking for any dog toys, from squeakies and tug toys to kongs, for dogs of all shapes and sizes and all ages. Please no children’s toys or beanies though as these could be harmful to the dogs.”
The centre is also looking for donations of newspapers.
If you would like to donate any dog toys or newspapers to Dogs Trust Merseyside, please visit the centre at Whiston Lane, Huyton, Liverpool L36 6HP or call 0151 480 0660 for further details on how you can help.
TOM JONES AND ROSALIE LOVE YOU DROOLY
Dogs Trust Merseyside appeals for homes for two special dogs this Valentine’s
Staff at Dogs Trust Merseyside are hoping this Valentines Day will bring a lifelong partner for two special dogs at the rehoming centre.
Tom Jones, a 10 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross, and Rosalie, a 18 months old Labrador Cross have been at the rehoming centre for several months and have their paws crossed that love will be in the air for them on the 14th.
Georgina Lowery, Dogs Trust Merseyside Rehoming Centre Manager, says:
“Tom Jones and Rosalie are lovely dogs who are getting overlooked in kennels. They have an awful lot of love to give so it would be fantastic if this Valentine’s Day they could find two special families to give them all the love that they deserve. They are not looking for a home together but, as you can see, they certainly became good chums on their photoshoot!”
Mr. Jones or Tom to his friends was found taking himself for a walk one day. Sadly no one ever claimed him so he is now looking for his forever home. He loves tummy rubs and has a lovely singing voice that would charm the socks off anyone. Tom can live with children over 10 years of age.
Rosalie is a fabulous girl with boundless energy. She loves playing with her doggy friends in the free run and going for long walks. Rosalie is only young and still needs some basic training so would benefit from a home with someone around for most of the day. Rosalie gets on well with other dogs so can live with the right companion. She would prefer an adult-only home.
If you would like to offer a home to Tom Jones or Rosalie, please visit the centre at Whiston Lane, Huyton, Liverpool L36 6HP or call 0151 482 6425 for further details on how you can help.
