AN APPEAL has gone out to animal lovers in Halton to give one of these cute little abandoned puppies a loving home.

Greenacres Animal Rescue, based in Runcorn, has a number of dogs and cats which need new homes.

The dogs have all been rescued from pounds across the North West where many were due to be put to sleep after nobody claimed them.

Julie Hampson, owner of Greenacres, said: 'All these dogs have been found by the dog warden and left at the pound.

'Myself and a few friends who run animal rescue centres have been going and collecting as many as possible.

'Now we are looking for good homes or even foster homes for these pets.'

Anyone who can offer a foster home should be willing to look after the dog for at least a couple of weeks.

If you would like to view the pets at Greenacres or can help with donations of food, bedding, telephone 07799 520951.
