Here are our dogs that are ready for rehoming. This webpage is updated regularly.

All our animals who are ready for adoption are also shown on the National RSPCA “Find a Pet” website, where they have lots of free online help and support, if you are considering adopting a pet or have just taken a new animal into your home. We are always happy to give help and advice about re-homing an animal.

Dog care advice

Due to changes in the way we complete our VAT Return, as a result of VAT changes at RSPCA HQ, we are now required to clearly display any VAT in our Rehoming Fees and Rehoming Documentation.

Generally our rescue animals are free of VAT, but some which come to us for rehoming via the RSPCA Inspectorate may be liable to VAT.

In all cases, the rehoming fee will be as shown on our website and will include any VAT where applicable.

Adoption fees are non-refundable, except under exceptional circumstances at the Branch's discretion.

From 1st July 2023 our adoption fees will be £200 for adults dogs and £250 for puppies up to and including 6 months old. Any dogs currently on reserve will be honoured at the original adoption fee. The cost includes neutering, flea control treatment, vaccination against Kennel cough, micro-chipping.

Additional donations are greatly appreciated to help us to continue with our work.

The next step is to arrange for the whole family to come and meet the dog. It’s best for everyone from the household to meet the dog to rule out allergies or other issues.

We will then arrange to visit your home to discuss your new dog with you and answer any further questions you may have about rehoming. During the home visit, we can ensure the home is suitable and advise on preparing your home and garden, removing potential dangers, and buying food, bedding, and toys. We aim to carry out home visits within a week of the animal being reserved.

During the home visit, we are looking to see that:

You have a good understanding about the commitment involved in adopting your dog.

The dog will not be left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day and will get a minimum of one 30 minute walk per day, all year round.

The dog has a secure backyard or garden with fencing of a minimum of 6ft in height, although this may need to be higher depending on the size of the dog.

That you are willing to take a dog to training classes/seek help if necessary.

If you would like to offer any of our dogs a new home please call our Branch Manager Julia Tucker on 0161 286 2503 or email rspca.altrincham.cheshire@googlemail.com

Lola

Lola is our sponsored dog being cared for by RSPCA Warrington branch. She's had a rough start in life and really deserves a loving home.
If you are interested in meeting Lola please contact RSPCA Warrington Branch directly.
She was neglected by her previous owner. Being treated in this way by her previous family made Lola really sad and it took her a really long time to trust people again 🙁 But thankfully, Lola pushed on through and learnt how to enjoy the love of humans again. She has had a long road to recovery after she was dealing with being underweight, a skin condition caused by fleas, sore ears and then a tummy upset. She is finally fighting fit again! Lola is looking for a family who have had experience with Shar-peis in the past and understand their traits. She is an active girl who really enjoys being out and about for hours on end but also loves the comfort of a sofa. Lola is housetrained and is clean in her kennel, but she may just need a bit of guidance when she moves into her forever home. She enjoys walking and doesn't mind walking with other dogs providing they don't get in her face. We have been taking her walking with our other dogs at the centre and she is quite happy & content to do this as long as she has her own space. Lola is a clever girl who enjoys human company but isn't the touchy feely type and will walk away when she has had enough, playing with toys, traveling and is even good for the vet (she can just be a little nervous) Lola is also good around new people with the correct approach (Food!) Do you have space in your heart for our lovely Lola to have her second chance of happiness?

Leo

Leo is a very handsome male crossbreed. most likely some form of Husky cross with a slim build . He will be 2 years old in October and came into our care from the inspectors , after his owner had to go into hospital and could no longer care for him.
Leo is a friendly , lovely boy but as is typical of his type of breed is quite aloof and not particularly affectionate . He loves his exercise and is always very alert and enjoys having a good sniff everywhere . He will need an active home where he will be taken for plenty of long walks . He is quite good on the lead and doesn't pull . He can be a little unpredictable when coming across other dogs on walks and will bark , particularly if they are off lead . Leo is playful and loves his toys .He is a very good boy in his kennel and is always relaxed and extremely clean so housetraining should not be a problem in his new home . Leo is to be rehomed as an only dog . He does have a high prey drive so most definitely cannot be rehomed with any cats or small furries . He needs to be rehomed in an adults only home, no children.

Bella

Bella is a very sweet female Jack Russsell Cross aged approximately 5 years . She came into our care from the inspectors along with her puppy , suffering from neglect and had an ear infection which has since cleared up .
Bella has come from a troubled background so can initially be a little timid with new people . She was quite shy when she first arrived in kennels but now gets very excited whenever she sees familiar faces and it is time for walks . She has also become an affectionate girl who likes to be close to you and enjoys belly rubs . She walks nicely on the lead generally but can pull if she gets excited . However she is only a small dog so this shouldn't cause any issues . We think she is more suited to a quieter household with not too many people coming and going . She could live with older children . She is to be rehomed as an only dog where she can get all the attention that she so deserves .

Loki

Loki is a male 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed .He is most likely crossed with a lurcher . He has come into our care from the inspectors having been neglected, underweight and living in dirty conditions.
Loki can sometimes be a little nervous upon meeting new people but it won't take him long to come round . He is very food motivated and his love of a tasty treat (which he always takes very gently ) will certainly help with training and initial meet and greets . Once he knows you and is more relaxed , he is a friendly bouncy boy with a waggy tail who is extremely affectionate and adores fuss, cuddles and being close to people . Loki walks nicely on the lead . He can be a little barky and dog reactive when coming across other dogs on walks but there are other times when he doesn't appear to be too fussed either . He is very playful and loves his toys and also loves a car ride and travels very well . Loki did have an injury to his paw recently. He has since had treatment for this and his paw has healed completely . He has recently spent some time in a foster home during his recovery . His foster dad has found him to be a good boy on the whole . He does appear to have some separation anxiety so we are looking for a home where he will have company for the majority of the time . He will also need a little bit of help with housetraining . Loki is such a lovely boy and has such a lot of potential . He would make the most loyal companion . Loki is to be rehomed as an only dog but could live with children of secondary school age .
