There are plenty of animals in Greater Manchester that need to be rehomed.
Whether you are looking for a dog, cat, or even a bunny rabbit, a member of staff at these animals shelters will help you through the adoption process.
However, you need to remember that an animal is for life and not just for lockdown- you need to make sure you're capable of looking after an animal so they don't end up back in the shelter.
If you’ve ever thought about rehoming an animal, here are five adorable pets that need your love.
Titch
Age: 3
Breed: American Bulldog
Location: The Destitute Animal Shelter, Bolton.
Adoption fee: £70-£150

Titch came to the shelter as a stray- so not much is known about her.
She has a laid back nature and loves cuddles and attention.
While she is well-trained and good on a lead but she can be quite reactive to other dogs which is why she needs to be the only animal in the household.
Titch also needs to live in a child-free house, with an experienced adopter who will be with her for most of the day.
The shelter can’t accept applications for those who live above another apartment.
You can find out more about Titch on The Destitute Animal Shelter website.
Sam
Age: 6
Breed: Lurcher
Location: The Destitute Animal Shelter, Bolton.
Adoption fee: £70-£150
Sam is a returned adoption and will need a lot of love.
He is a fun and playful dog who can make you laugh- he is obsessed with teddies and loves to tear them up.
He could live with children (6+), but not with any other animals. He has also been worked, so be cautious when he is around small furries.
Contact The Destitute Animal Shelter to start the adoption process.
Zippy
Age: 2-4
Breed: Unknown
Location: The Destitute Animal Shelter, Bolton.
Adoption fee: £45-£75

Zippy is described as a “loving” cat who would be best suited to an adult only home.
He can get impatient at dinner time and will try to grab and steal food.
Zippy is best suited as the only pet in the house and does not get along with dogs.

Klarisse
Age: 8
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Crossbreed
Location: RSPCA Manchester & Salford
Adoption fee: £75
If you have a quiet home and patience, then Klarisse could be the perfect cat for you.
The “gentle soul” came to the shelter when her previous owner was no longer able to care for her.
Her previous foster carer said: “Klarisse will be an excellent companion for the right owner who can be patient with her.
“She will probably spend a lot of time in her ‘safe spot’ over the first few weeks, but she was snuggling up with us on the couch after just a few days of having her.
“She even likes to play with string once she’s settled down a bit.”
Klarisse is best suited to an adult only home and would prefer not to live with a dog.

Eccles
Age: 0-3 months
Breed: Dwarf Lop
Location: RSPCA Manchester & Salford
Adoption fee: £50
If you are looking for a house rabbit to care for, then Eccles could be the perfect option.
He was first found abandoned in a cardboard box on Eccles New Road with another bunny- now he is looking for an owner who will love him forever.
The adorably bunny is described as “good natured” and “inquisitve”- but he has a cheeky side too.
The shelter are looking to rehome Eccles as a single house rabbit for now.
He is fully vaccinated and microchipped- once he is old enough, the branch will contribute £100 towards getting him neutered.
Could you give Eccles his forever home? Find out more on the RSPCA website.
