Older rescue dogs for adoption and rehoming in Manchester

As of 30 September 2026, 2 older 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.

On LocalPetFinder, an older dog is one whose listed age is 7 years or more. Rescues use their own cut-offs: Blue Cross, for example, has a lower fee band for dogs aged 8 or over.

Not right now: none of the 2 older dogs listed in Manchester is listed as small by the rescue.

Each rescue sets its own fee, and some charge less for older dogs. Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over, against £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. Battersea charges £230 for any dog over six months, and Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

This page lists every older dog with the rescues we list in Manchester and the places within it. Because there are only a few here, we also show older dogs from rescues within 25 miles under "Also near Manchester", each with its town and distance. You can also see older dogs across Greater Manchester. Email alerts for new listings are coming soon.
