Cockapoo Rescue North West England 2025: Local Info, Tips & Stories

Last Updated on June 6, 2025 by Simon James

Cockapoo Rescue Centres in North West England That Re-Home Small and Mixed Breed Dogs

Cockapoo Rescue Dogs are Cockapoos (the popular hybrid cross between a Poodle and a Cocker Spaniel). These dogs have been found their way to a rescue or shelter and are hoping to find a forever loving home. They come in all ages and each has a unique back story but all need a patient understanding new owner.

Many UK-based animal charities offer dogs for re-homing and adoption. The nationally recognised ones are: National Animal Welfare Trust, RSPCA, Blue Cross, Dogs Trust and All Dogs Matter. All these rescue centres have numbers of rescue dogs, including Cockapoos, waiting to be re-homed by responsible dog owners.
Regional rescue organisations likeWoodgreen Pets Charity, Paw Help UK, Hope Rescue and Dogs4rescue have dogs immediately available for re-homing.
Be sure to check the comments section at the bottom of the page and as visitors often let us know about a Cockapoo that needs re-homing or their interest in adopting.

Not all rescue dogs have issues. Some of our dogs here at Wolfwood have obviously been well cared for, trained and will fit into any dog loving home.

Many are in poor physical condition with no basic training at all and some have more serious issues, created by the people who discard them. Wolfwood works with prospective adopters to create the best possible match.

Plenty of advice and support are part of our personal and friendly service. We work on a one to one basis and tailor each individual dog needs to prospective new owners.
