Dogs 4 Rescue
The UK's pioneering kennel-free dog rescue, powered by companionship, freedom and love 💜 We rescue the most desperate cases from all over the world.
Dogs4Rescue is a small, independent dog sanctuary in Manchester which has developed a unique “cage free” approach to animal welfare to ensure our dogs are socialised in a healthy, relaxed and happy foster home environment whilst waiting for their forever families.

Incredible news, Bram has only gone a bagged himself his forever home 🥳🥳🥳
Bram arrived with us July 2018 from Romania. He made a couple of mistakes and we decided to make him a sanctuary dog to keep everyone safe. He enjoyed many years with his friends at the rescue but in the last couple of years he has really mellowed and sought out human affection even more.
One of his dog walkers Dena offered him a special foster and he made quickly himself at home. He got his paws until the table and made Dena fall in love with him even more. And now it’s official… Bram is adopted and will live out his days in his fabulous new home, and all its lovely land and gardens.
“I started walking Bram a little while ago as a permanent sanctuary resident and fell in love with his funky face and stubbornness on our walks. I figured he was a chilled older guy who needed a retirement home and didn't seem too keen to bond. How wrong was I?
Once he was deemed up for rehoming and he arrived here, he was full of energy, loved his walks and was an absolute pest for cuddles! From the excitable spins when the lead comes out to the huge grins every moment of every day, he is clearly happy and settled.
He had so much love given to him at D4R for many years and is adored by all the staff, but he seems to be thriving here due to peaceful surroundings and the space available to him. He has piqued Liberty's curiosity about why the humans are so deserving of such enthusiastic attention so he has already helped Liberty in her rehabilitation too as she is constantly observing him.
Very grateful to be part of his crazy story - from being found in Dracula's castle, to rescue and rehabilitation and finally to his countryside retirement home. He has his forever home here now and loves visits from his aunty Maya.”
Thank you so much Dena for making Bram’s world so perfect. He is the cheekiest boy and we are so happy he is with someone who truly gets him and can keep him safe 🙏
Please everyone, wish Bram the happiest retirement in his very own castle… 💜

With Ollie and Penny settled in one of the communal lounges with more confident dogs it’s Meeko’s turn to have some home love in the caravan at Rescue World. And as you can see he is fully embracing sofa life and feeling settled and loved.
We are really hoping we can capture some photos and videos of him that can show his softer and calmer side on an evening. So that someone see’s him and wants to give him the chance he so deserves… 🏡🐶🙏

Milo has found his new forever home and it couldn’t be a more perfect match. And now Dottie has a new bestie. Please wish them a wonderful life together 🐶🐶
Milo first came to us in 2020 as his original owner couldn't cope with him. He was rehomed through us and lived a wonderful life with his adopter. When she sadly passed away, her nephew, who had always helped look after Milo, took him in and adopted him.
Unfortunately in April this year Milo ended up needing to come back to us as his owner was struggling with his own health issues and it was decided best that Milo went to a new home.
As if by fate, we had been asked by Charlene our visiting behaviourist who works with if we knew of any dogs that would be suitable for a family she knew who had sadly just lost one of their dogs. Milo seemed perfect and so he went off for a trial and he's now been officially adopted, helping heal the hearts of his new family and new fur sister Dottie.
Some words from his new family:
“He's fitted into our family so well ...we love him to bits and Dottie loves her new brother, he brought her out of her shell after losing our other dog”
They also wanted us to pass a message on to Milo's previous dad saying:
"he's gone to a lovely home and he is adored by everyone ...were totally in love with him ...thank you for letting us adopt him"
Thank you to this lovely family for opening their heart and home to another rescue. Dogs never try to replace, they are just themselves and help heal hearts by living in the moment 💜

D**g 🔔 Casper got a lufferly foster and he is mighty happy about it 😃
D**g 🔔 Lenton is loving his foster so much. People who foster rescue doggies are so kind. For some doggies it is all they want!
D**g 🔔 New girl Ginny arrived but she was scared at Irlam becos it is busy there. Em brings her back to Rescue World and now she is much happier
D**g 🔔 Mika moved to Rescue World and he was very brave. He didn’t make a peep in the car and straight away he met Eliza, William, Penny and Ollie.

It’s been a big day for Mika who has moved up to Rescue World. Eliza and William were there to welcome him and he will also be sharing with Penny and Ollie.
Mika is great for nervous dogs as once he has found his feet he is incredibly playful and sweet. He couldn’t have coped any better with the move and right now he has found a spot in the garden for a nice sleep. Video incoming so you can all see him meeting the gang.
Well done beautiful boy, you’re going to love it up here 🐶🤩

Today we welcome Ginny to help another UK rescue. She is a beautiful rommie who has been in a home foster, very loving but also can be very nervy.
The rescue have been trying to find her another foster to no avail, and had run out of options. So Ginny is coming to us for some rehab with our pack (typically she loves other dogs) and then Amy will work her magic to find her a forever home.
The welcoming committee are ready and waiting 🐕🐕🐕

From a walking skeleton to regaining his health and vitality… to finding his forever home. Please congratulate Valentino on her adoption 🥳🥳
Valentino was found by a lovely family wandering by their house in Cyprus. They asked for help on Facebook and kept him safe until Andrea from CYPRUS DOG RESCUE.
He was in a bad way but thankfully (and also sadly) Andrea has so much experience helping dogs who in are a terrible state. She nursed him back to health and then 3 months later he came to us to find his forever home.
Amy already had a home trial lined up for him just one week after his arrival and he's fitted in so perfectly he's forever home!
He gets to go to work with his new mum, and also has a few days with our Daycare 4 Dogs family where he loves the ball pool and gets to play with all his friends.
Some more words from his new mum Sam
"He’s proving to be a great shop and studio dog-he even stuck around while the students were hammering on Thursday night which they all loved. He is the sweetest, happiest boy and I absolutely want to adopt him.
He’s absolutely great-such a good boy. I took him to an enclosed field this week so he could run around and he’s so playful and happy 🥰."
Isn’t it wonderful what can happen when rescues work together 🐶❤️🩹🏡🥰
Be happy Valentino 💜

Oh my! 😍 How could we not offer rescue space to this distinguished gentlemen? 🐶
Snufflepig will be coming to us in about a week’s time. Golden Paw Club members you did it again, helping an old boy in his hour of need. £5 a month really can make a difference.
We cannot wait to meet you gorgeous boy 🥰
