AMTC Purebred Rescue

American Manchester Terrier Rescue is a dedicated effort to find and re-home Manchester Terriers that, through no fault of their own, are in need of new homes. Some of these dogs are recovered from shelters and pounds, others come from private families.

How To Identify a Manchester Terrier in a Shelter, Etc.
A good place to go when trying to identify whether or not a dog you may see in a shelter or in another rescue organization is a Manchester Terrier is the American Manchester Terrier page on the AKC website. You will find a description of the breed along with a photo of each variety.

Attention: AMTC Rescue is in need of foster homes.
We currently have many Manchester Terriers in need of foster care and AMTC Rescue is doing everything to help find these dogs a forever home, however, it highlights a problem that needs to be addressed.

The AMTC Rescue is a national rescue group. For this reason, we need many more foster homes than we currently have in order to continue helping our breed.

Please keep in mind that volunteering to foster does not mean that you will always have a foster in your home or that you will be inundated with requests to foster.  If you absolutely cannot foster a dog for rescue, please consider volunteering to transport. This would help us get dogs from areas where there are no foster homes to an area where someone is willing to foster the dog.

Thank you,

Volunteers are not required to have experience with Manchester Terriers.  If you are interested in adopting a Manchester but aren't sure if this is the breed for you, volunteering to foster is a good way to explore this option.  We need many more foster homes than we currently have in order to continue helping our breed.  If you would like to help notify us here
