As of 8 November 2026, Wythall Animal Sanctuary (at Wythall, about 13 miles away): 3 and Pawprints Dog Rescue (at Monks Kirby, about 22 miles away): 2. By age, that is 1 puppy and 4 adult dogs. The newest was added on 30 September 2026. Each profile links to the rescue, which handles the adoption.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the crossbreed dogs on this page are with Wythall Animal Sanctuary (3) and Pawprints Dog Rescue (2). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

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.

Mostly the name. The Royal Kennel Club says crossbreeds with nicknames combining their parents' breeds, such as Labradoodles and Cockerpoos, are often called "designer dogs". They are still crossbreeds. A dog of three or more breeds, or of unknown breeds, usually has no known family tree at all.

They describe the generation of a cross. The Royal Kennel Club says puppies of two separate breeds, such as a Pug and a Jack Russell, are an F1 cross; puppies of two F1 dogs are F2; and an F1 dog bred back to one of the original breeds produces F1b puppies, the "b" standing for backcross. With an adult rescue dog this matters less, as you can see what the dog is actually like.

Often, but not always. Battersea says dogs of mixed, unknown ancestry are less likely to suffer from inherited diseases associated with specific breeds, though that does not mean they will never develop health issues. The Royal Kennel Club says puppies of two unrelated parents tend to be healthier, but crossing two breeds that share a problem, such as two flat-faced breeds, can still pass it on. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had.

Battersea says lots of dogs of no single breed can live longer than some pedigree breeds. That is a general pattern, not a promise for one dog, and a rescue dog's age and health matter more than its background.

With a puppy it can be hard to say. The Royal Kennel Club says crossing two very different breeds can make it difficult to know how big the puppies will grow. With an adult rescue dog you already know its size, and the rescue can tell you.

It depends on the dog. The Royal Kennel Club says a crossbreed's coat can be difficult to predict, and that a mix of two very different coats, such as a Standard Poodle's and a Labrador's, may give a hybrid coat that needs extensive grooming. Ask the rescue about this dog's coat and grooming needs.

Yes, if they have a short nose. Dogs Trust says any dog can experience BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), "especially crossbreeds with shortened noses", and The Royal Kennel Club says crossing two flat-faced breeds can still produce puppies predisposed to breathing problems. Ask the rescue what the vet has found about this dog's breathing.

We only list dogs with rescues, so there is nothing to buy here: every crossbreed on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee. If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet, and say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations covering likely health conditions and rough costs. With an adult rescue crossbreed, the rescue can tell you how big it grew and what it is like to live with.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 5 crossbreed dogs listed in and around Stratford-on-Avon as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
