About crossbreed dogs in Manchester
Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home was founded in 1893 by Manchester businessmen worried about the stray dogs roaming the city, and it still takes in stray and unwanted dogs from Greater Manchester and Cheshire. Its Manchester home is at Harpurhey, inside the city, and its second home, Cheshire Dogs' Home at Grappenhall near Warrington, about 16 miles away, has a specialist care unit for dogs that cope badly with kennels. It is open for viewing from Wednesday to Sunday, 1pm to 4pm (contact).
Destitute Animals Shelter in Bolton, about ten miles from Manchester, asks renters to get landlord permission before applying, and sends people with a stray dog to the dog warden or Manchester Dogs' Home. Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary at Ramsbottom, about 12 miles away, asks £250 for a dog and £300 for a puppy, will not rehome a dog to a home without a secure garden or yard or with children under five, and arranges a meeting only if your online application looks like a good match.

About crossbreed dogs
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.

Crossbreed dogs listed in and around Manchester today
As of 14 November 2026, 32 crossbreed dogs are listed with rescues in and around Manchester on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 2 puppies aged 12 months or under, 25 adults and 4 aged 7 or over. The rest have no age we can read, so check the profile.
All of them are listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: Crossbreed (5), Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross (5) and Pocket Bully Cross (2) and others. Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.
The rescues mark 22 as able to live with children and 11 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.

Are there crossbreed puppies for sale in Manchester?
No. Rescues rehome crossbreed dogs for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In and around Manchester today, crossbreed dogs are listed by Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home (at Warrington), Greenleaf Animal Rescue (in Manchester) and Destitute Animals Shelter (at Bolton, about 10 miles away), and 4 other rescues. Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home asks £200 for an adult dog and Destitute Animals Shelter £250 for a dog. For Greenleaf Animal Rescue, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free crossbreed dog to a good home in Manchester, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing crossbreed dogs in and around Manchester today, the published fees run from £160 at Windyway Animal Rescue to £250 at Destitute Animals Shelter. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
