🐾 Thinking of getting a dog? Read this first! 🐾

A dog can be the most rewarding friend you’ll ever have but before you bring one home, ask yourself:

✔️ Do you have time for daily walks, play and training?
✔️ Can you afford vet bills, food, grooming & holiday care?
✔️ Is your home safe, secure and dog-friendly?
✔️ Does the whole household really want a dog?

Choose with your head and your heart to give a dog the future they deserve. 💙🐶

Most dogs have been bred for a purpose and will still have natural instincts. How many of these do you know?

⭐ Success Saturday! ⭐

Little Pumpkin has found her forever home! 🧡

Her new family describes her as their “loud-miaowed pocket rocket” who always makes her needs known and is already showing off her playful, cheeky side. Pumpkin is proving to be everything they hoped for and has secured her place as a much-loved member of their family.

We’re so delighted to see Pumpkin thriving and bringing so much happiness to her new home. Here’s to a lifetime of affection, mischief, and cosy cuddles.

With love,
The Blue Cross Manchester Team 💙

Thunder and Ally are searching for a home to spend their twilight years curled up together. ✨

This cuddly senior duo love a fuss. You'll find them snuggled up next to you on the sofa, or on the windowsill watching the world go by.

Despite their age, they still enjoy a game of hide and seek with each other and they'll faithfully follow you about the house to see what you're up to.

They're hoping for a calm, quiet home to relax in with their human companions and have plenty of love to give. 💙

Could you offer them the retirement home of their dreams? Click the link to meet them! 👉 https://bit.ly/3M2XdH0

With her sweet nature, it’s clear Duchess was once a much-loved pet.

But when her owner became seriously ill, there was no one left to care for her - and she arrived in a heartbreaking state. 💔

Without her medicated baths, Duchess’s skin had become sore and raw, and she was losing fur. She was also suffering from ear and eye infections, as well as painfully long nails.

Once in our care, Duchess began to recover. She had treatment to soothe her skin, and regular eye drops eased her discomfort.

When she first came in, she was shut down, but now she relishes human company. Just 49 days later, Duchess was unrecognisable - healthy, happy, and in a new home. 💙

Abandoned at our gates, crammed into a carrier, covered in fleas, and heavily pregnant, Elphaba must have been terrified. 💔

She arrived just two days before giving birth to six kittens. Sadly, one kitten was stillborn, but five tiny boys, Bauble, Starlight, Claus, Tinsel, and Twinkle survived, thanks to the care they received during that critical first night.

As 2025 draws to a close, we’re still facing a pet homelessness emergency. Too many pets like Elphaba are being abandoned and left to survive on their own.

By donating, you can help provide a Critical Care Kit that includes pain relief, antibiotics, warm blankets, nutritious food, and fluids - everything needed to care for a frightened and vulnerable pet during their most crucial hours. 🎁

Please help us be there for homeless pets, like Elphaba and her babies, this Christmas.

Who remembers Frankie, the sweet lurcher obsessed with toy pigs? 🐷 After 264 days of waiting patiently in our care, he’s finally found a loving home!

Huge thanks to our Suffolk rehoming team for taking such great care of him during his long stay.

Let’s all wish Frankie and his pigs the happiest new beginning with their lovely new family! 💙

Leah (183 days) - A gorgeous girl who loves to be pampered!
Puzzle (100 days) - A friendly little pony who loves attention. 🧩

Poor Piglet hasn't had a lot of luck lately...

Piglet was brought to us as he and his brother weren't getting along. He soon found a home with a lovely female guinea pig friend, but sadly she passed away. 💔

Now, Piglet is feeling quite lonely and is hoping that third time's the charm. 🤞

This sweet boy would love a home with a girl guinea pig to bond with. Piglet absolutely loves fresh veggies and will come take them out of your hands!

If you could provide a home with a female guinea pig (or more!), then click to meet Piglet. 👉 https://bit.ly/43n9mMQ

This , we’re celebrating our incredible foster carers, like Wendy - who open their hearts and homes to pets in need. 💙

By offering a temporary haven, they create space in our rehoming centres to help even more pets who need us most.

Losing a pet can be deeply painful, yet many men find it hard to open up about their grief. 💔

Social pressures to “stay strong” can make it even harder to talk, but sharing those feelings truly helps.

Our Pet Loss Support service provides free and confidential support via phone, email, web chat, or our Facebook group.

You don’t have to face it alone. 👉 https://bit.ly/44hpd0a

A kind local had been feeding a stray cat in their garden for weeks, until one day, they got a surprise when she wandered inside and gave birth to three kittens! 💙

Seeking a safe place, this clever mum, now named North, clearly knew who to trust.

The finder brought North and her kittens into our care, where we treated them for fleas to prevent flea anaemia, which can be fatal.

Thanks to this stranger's kindness and our wonderful Suffolk team, this little family has now found loving homes.

As the nights draw in and temperatures drop, these colder months mark a race against time to save pets’ lives. ❄️

Across the UK, more homeless pets are arriving at our doors, with too many pets being abandoned or given up out of sheer desperation. 💔

Many arrive starving, injured, or too weak to survive the harsh winter nights alone, and their first night in our care is often critical.

In the lead up to Christmas, we’ll be sharing stories of pets who, thanks to your support, are now safe, healthy, and loved in their new homes.

But this winter, too many still need our help. By donating today, you can give vulnerable pets the vital care and comfort they need this winter.
