Helping Dogs

While the AMTC isn’t equipped to run a full rescue operation, we’re still deeply committed to helping Manchester Terriers in need.
 

We support rescue efforts by listing available dogs on our website, providing grants to assist with their care, and—when possible—helping to pull confirmed Manchester Terriers into local foster homes where we can work to place them into loving new homes.

​​

If you have a Manchester in need of rehoming and would like help getting the word out, use the form below to contact our Rescue Chairs.

Please note that we do not screen adopters for outside organizations but will help connect potential new homes to the foster or owner coordinating the rehoming.
