Dog of the Week Rocky is a knockout

Each week the Ulster Star has a ‘Dog of the Week’, chosen for us by staff at the Dogs Trust Ballymena Rehoming Centre.

Dogs Trust care for around 16,000 dogs each year at their 17 Rehoming Centres nationwide, with no healthy dog ever being destroyed.

This week we would like you to meet Rocky, an eight-year-old Pomeranian, who is on his search for a new home after his owner emigrated.

A real ladies man this little fella is looking for a home that can offer him a relaxed and loving environment.

Rocky has epilepsy and therefore will always be on medication so require a family that can monitor him and help him manage his condition.

This lovely boy is very sweet and deserves another loving home where he can settle down and in no time at all he will become a loyal four-legged companion.

Last week’s Dog of the Week, the marvellous Miley, a three-year-old Springer Spaniel/Terrier cross, is still searching for a new home.

If you think you can offer Rocky a fresh start pop in and see the team at Dogs Trust Ballymena, 60 Teeshan Road, Ballymena, Co Antrim, BT43 5PN or call the team on 028 2565 2977. (www.dogstrust.org.uk).
