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. 4886: PENNY (Spayed, Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)
Penny needs a new home.
German Shepherd Cross, female, approximately 2-3 years old. She is black and tan with a black muzzle, white on her chest and paws, she has a thick coat and she is medium in size. She was found as a stray. Penny is a friendly girl who is currently nervous at times, she knows basic commands and she seems fine with other dogs.
"This morning I met lovely Penny for the first time. Penny is a stunning girl who has obviously been through the mill a bit. At the moment she is very wary of meeting people and easily startled by the noise of unexpected things (the noise of a door banging shut, a big lorry).
Because of this a gentle introduction was needed to both me and people we met on the walk. She coped very well with this and her trust was soon earned.
I always expect dogs to be a bit all over the place on a first walk and she did pull quite a bit, more so when you gave her a longer lead than walking her by your side on a short one. I think this could be easily resolved with consistent input and she was doing much better after about an hour or so. She is energetic and would be best with someone who could give her lots of exercise, and stimulation for that quick mind of hers.
She seems to be a very intelligent girl, she’s so alert and misses nothing and wants to explore everything. She was able to show us how she could sit and give a paw - sometimes both paws - and take her treat very gently.
We met a few dogs on the walk and she did pull towards some of them but not in an aggressive way. Others she just walked past without any problems. We met a couple with a beautiful golden retriever and Penny tried to pull towards it at first but I asked her to sit, which she did, and she sat down beside me for the five minutes or so that we stood chatting - such a good girl. She will sit on command without needing to be bribed with treats.
We spent some time sat outside the shops to help her get used to people and things going past and to show her that the world isn’t a scary place. She seemed to like this and was soon leaning in for a stroke and a fuss as she watched everything intently.
She really is a stunner with a lovely personality and temperament and so much potential, someone is going to get a great companion!"

No. 4887: REX (Neutered, Fully Vaccinated & Microchipped)
Rex needs a new home.
Retriever/Labrador Cross, male, approximately 11 months old. He is black with white on his chest and he is large in size. He has been signed over to the care of RDR due to the ill health of his owner. Rex is a lovely, very bouncy boy who knows some basic commands and he is good with other dogs.
"We met the lively/lovely Rex this morning for the first time. Fortunately for both of us my husband Trev came with me. Rex is a gorgeous gentle giant and very excitable at the minute. We set off at a fast pace but as time went on he did settle down and can walk nicely although he does continue to pull and is inclined to jump up intermittently . Having said that we met a few people along the way with dogs and horses and Rex didn't seem to worry about any of them. He backed away from the horses rather than go towards them even though we kept at a safe distance.
He wasn't worried about any noises including gunshots from a clay pigeon shoot that was going on close by. No issues with any traffic. He is quite inquisitive. Doesn't appear to be food oriented as refused treats. He is a gorgeous lab and I am sure with the right owner who can spend time with him he will be a fabulous companion!"
