A crossbreed is any dog whose parents were different breeds, or whose breed is simply not known. On LocalPetFinder this page counts every dog the rescue lists as a crossbreed or as a cross of two breeds, so it covers a huge range of sizes and characters.
Battersea notes that a crossbreed's full heritage "is usually unknown", and that crossbreeds are "sometimes thought of as being less desirable" than pedigrees. The breed words on a rescue profile are usually a best guess from the dog's looks, so read the profile for what the rescue knows about this particular dog.
Battersea says crossbreeds are "less likely to suffer from genetic conditions or some of the inherited diseases that are associated with specific breeds", and that many can live longer than some pedigree breeds. That is a general pattern, not a promise about one dog, so ask the rescue what vet checks the dog has had.
With a crossbreed, the breed label tells you little about how the dog will be with children, cats or other dogs. The rescue's own assessment, often noted on the profile, is the thing to go by.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.
As of 30 September 2026, 8 crossbreed dogs are listed for adoption in Manchester on LocalPetFinder, from Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home. Each profile links to the rescue, and you apply to adopt with them directly.
Yes: 1 puppy of the 8 listed in Manchester is 12 months or under by their listed age.
Any dog the rescue lists as a crossbreed, or as a cross or mix of two breeds, for example "Collie cross" or "Labrador x Staffy". A cross of a named breed also appears on that breed's page, so a Staffy cross is on both.
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every crossbreed dog on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre, and rescues rehome animals for an adoption fee rather than selling them: for example, Battersea charges £230 for an adult dog and Dogs Trust £300. The fee goes towards the vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to good home" is a private advert, not a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
