Rescue puppies for adoption and rehoming in and around North Wales

Most dogs in rescue across North Wales are grown, and the count above is live. When we checked on 7 November 2026, the only dogs under a year were at Trelogan: five Collie x Staffy pups of about 6 months left from an accidental litter of eight, and Basil, a 9 month Malinois x German Shepherd.

That litter shows what to expect. North Clwyd wants adult only homes or sensible older teenagers for it, with no other pets and a secure garden, so a family with toddlers will find a rescue pup hard to come by here.

Rescue dogs are adopted, not sold. If you buy, Wales has banned commercial sellers from selling pups they did not breed since 10 September 2021, so the Welsh Government says to buy where the puppy was born or adopt from a rescue. Blue Cross puts a bought puppy at £400 to £3,000; pay nothing before you have met it, and report a seller who pushes for money to Report Fraud.

North Clwyd Animal Rescue charges £250 for a puppy up to 6 months, and Almost Home Dog Rescue, new to our listings with this update, asks at least £225 for a dog under 6 months.

Rescue fees for puppies are set by each rescue. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
