Eight adorable dogs are looking for new homes in Manchester in time for Christmas.
The crosses have ended up in no-fault kennels – but hope to get a new home before the end of the year.
The Kennel Clubs have estimated that there are 12 million dogs in the UK, with around 75% of them having a pedigree, meaning both parents are of the same breed.
However, others – known as crossbreeds, half-breeds, or affectionately named “Heinz 57” – could be fusions of many different breeds.
Our sister site Team dogs has rounded up eight crossbreeds looking to start their new lives this Christmas. However, those who wish to welcome a dog during the holiday season should be reminded that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas.

Raise: American bulldog cross
Love: Play goofball and play challenging, tumbling games

Additional information: Barry is described as the “resident song” of Dog Trust Manchester, with a personality and energy to match.
Barry can be overkill and will need patient owners who are experienced with strong dogs.

He can be worried about large male dogs and prefers the company of smaller dogs which can be less intimidating, which is why he should be the only pet in the house.
