A Siberian husky, a German shepherd and an English springer spaniel are among the dogs up for adoption at Dogs Trust Merseyside.
The dog rehoming charity is always on the look out for new families for dogs who've been rescued or given away. The charity is particularly keen to find new foster families who can "commit to caring for a dog temporarily in their home for as little as a few days to several weeks or months".
Foster families help keep kennels free "for the next dog who has nowhere else to go". Georgina Lowery, manager of Dogs Trust Merseyside's rehoming centre in Huyton, said: "Dogs find themselves with us for a variety of reasons such as illness in the family, a change in working hours or accommodation or someone having to move into a care facility.
