About crossbreed dogs
What crossbreed dogs are like to live with
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 for a dog of no single breed the full heritage "is usually unknown", and that such dogs are "sometimes thought of as being less desirable". 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.
Health
Battersea says that dogs of no single breed, "unlike pedigrees or pure-bred cross breeds", are "less likely to suffer from genetic conditions or some of the inherited diseases that are associated with specific breeds", and that lots of them can live longer than some pedigree breeds. So this is about dogs of unknown, mixed ancestry rather than a deliberate cross of two pedigree breeds, and it is a general pattern, not a promise about one dog, so ask the rescue what vet checks the dog has had.
Children, cats and other dogs
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.
Sources (checked 29 September 2026)
Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.
Crossbreed dogs in Scotland: your questions
How many rescue crossbreed dogs are available for adoption in Scotland?
As of 30 September 2026, 10 crossbreed dogs are listed for adoption in Scotland on LocalPetFinder, from Dogs Trust. Each profile links to the rescue, and you apply to adopt with them directly.
Are there crossbreed dog puppies for adoption in Scotland?
Not right now: none of the 10 listed in Scotland is under a year old by its listed age. Puppies do get listed, so check back or look at the adults, whose rescues can tell you much more about their character.
What counts as a crossbreed on LocalPetFinder?
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.
How much does it cost to adopt a crossbreed dog in Scotland?
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.
Are there crossbreed dogs for sale in Scotland?
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 rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. In Scotland, Lucy's Law has banned the third-party sale of puppies under six months since 1 September 2021.
Can I get a free crossbreed dog in Scotland, or one under £500?
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 usually a private advert rather than 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.
