These wonderful canines would love to be part of your family - including a Siberian Husky, Pomeranian and Patterdale Terrier.
A number of adorable dogs at Dogs Trust Merseyside are hoping to find their forever families, with many having troublesome lives so far.
Damning findings by the RSPCA show that cruelty towards dogs increased by 10% in Merseyside last year, with an average of four dogs treated poorly per day. Many of the dogs in the care of Dogs Trust have experienced abuse or have been abandoned by their owners, and the Merseyside centre is looking for people to care for them.
Currently, 60 pups are up for adoption at Dogs Trust Merseyside, with the charity seeing more people giving up their pets as a result of the cost of living crisis.

5. Angel
Angel is an American Bulldog and a shy girl who lacks confidence, but over time she has warmed to her carers. When she knows you, she is always excited to see you. Angel enjoys her walks but she’s rather ploddy and will make frequent stops, so don’t take her anywhere you need to be in a hurry! She could live with children aged 14 and over. She will walk along side other dogs however doesn’t appreciate much interaction with them, therefore we would recommend her being the only dog in the home. Photo: Dogs Trust Merseyside
