Manchester & District Home for Lost Dogs was founded in 1893. In 1999 we purchased a former boarding kennels, this has become the Cheshire Dogs’ Home.

The Cheshire Dogs’ Home site is 11.5 acres in total with a Specialist Care Unit for dogs that provides intense care for the dogs that need it the most, pregnant bitches, nursing mums and dogs that do not adjust well to the traditional kennel environment at Manchester Dogs’ Home.

We take in and care for around 3,000 dogs every year, many of these dogs are never reclaimed by their owners and require a great degree of emotional and physical support during their stay with us.

In addition to the Specialist Care Unit at our Cheshire Home, we also utilise a wide range of behavioural and mentally stimulating activities at both Homes to ensure each dog receives personal care and attention.

Once the dogs are fit and healthy they are made available for adoption, we are always looking for caring permanent and foster homes for our dogs and often have over 250 dogs that are waiting to find that perfect family.

Manchester Dogs Home also runs a discounted neutering and vaccine clinic.
