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?

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 . We think he is most likely crossed with a lurcher . He originally came into RSPCA care having been neglected , underweight and living in dirty conditions . He was rehomed recently but returned after just 3 days due to a fairly minor incident . Full details will be given upon making enquiries . 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 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 you . Loki walks nicely on the lead but can be underconfident on walks .It would be a good idea to build up Loki's walks gradually once in his new home , going on similar routes initially .He is unsure how to interact with dogs on walks and can be barky , although there are other occasions when he isn't too fussed . 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 when he first arrived in our branch care.He had treatment for this and his paw has healed completely . During his recovery he spent some time in a foster home .His foster dad found him to be a good boy on the whole . He can be lazy and is very happy snoozing for a large part of the day ! 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 help with housetraining . Loki is such a lovely dog and has so much potential .All of the kennel staff and dog walkers can agree on this . We feel he has had a very bad run of luck and deserves so much to find a loving , permanent home . He will need patient owners who are willing to give him plenty of time to settle and take things at his own pace . We are looking for an adult only home with rescue or Staffie experience .He is to be rehomed as an only dog .

Spike

Spike is a male 3 year old Patterdale Terrier . He came into our care from the inspectors but unfortunately we haven't been given any information as to his past life . Spike is a happy, friendly , lively and bouncy boy . He is quite a confident dog and is always happy to see everyone . He has bundles of energy and can be hyper . He is always super excited when it is time for walks and jumps up and down like a kangaroo ! He is going to need plenty of walks, exercise and play as well as mental stimulation to keep him busy and occupied . He loves his toys and playing fetch with balls. Strong, sturdy toys would be most suitable as he does have a habit of shredding soft, cuddly ones . Spike could possibly live with older children . We think he is better off being rehomed as an only dog . As he is a very active terrier , we think it would be more sensible for him not to live with cats .

Pepper

Pepper is a female Jack Russell cross who is approximately 8 years old . She came into our care from the inspectors as an abandonment . Pepper is a friendly, confident girl with people . She is very much a lap dog and seeks out affection . She may be a slightly older girl but she still has plenty of energy and enjoys her walks very much and is good on the lead . She likes playing fetch with tennis balls and knows basic commands like sit and paw . She is very clean in her kennel so housetraining should not be a problem in her new home . Pepper is however dog reactive on walks and can be rather vocal . She is therefore to be rehomed as an only dog . She could possibly live with older children .
