Online clothing retailer Chums has taken a look at the different pooches currently listed for adoption on the Merseyside Dogs Trust website and highlighted those with a celebrity doppelganger. 

Dogs Trust houses dogs of all breeds, shapes, sizes and ages, and many have had traumatic lives so far, or have been placed in care by their former owners.

So, if you’d prefer to ‘adopt not shop’ when bringing a new family member into your home, maybe consider one who might get papped by the paw-parazzi? 

Angel

Angel is a female American Bulldog who lacks a little confidence, but once she gets to know you will always be excited to see you. The centre describes her as a bit of a ‘plodder’ when it comes to walks, taking frequent stops - so don't take her anywhere you need to be in a hurry!

Jack

Jack is a male Greyhound who prefers a few shorter walks rather than really long ones and loves to gently sniff and explore as he goes. Jack is epileptic and needs daily medication to help control this, he will need regular check-ins at the vet to make sure all is well and his condition is being managed.

Pip

Billy 

Billy is a male crossbreed who has sadly been a little sheltered from the outside world for the last year or so and has become worried by many things. He’s inquisitive and affectionate however due to a past incident with another dog where Billy was attacked, he can be a little reactive and needs to be the only pet in the home.

Nero 

Nero loves to be out exercising, peeing on everything and doing his best to get treats from people. He is rather confident around other dogs for such a little chap and has even been on group walks with Mastiffs and Greyhounds! Nero is not a lap dog and will object to being handled unnecessarily.

Lilley

Lilley is a super little Bulldog who loves to get attention from people however she enjoys a slow approach from people and she can be worried by loud bangs and noises. Food is the way to Lilley's heart although tends to inhale it as soon as she can,
