Fourteen dogs are currently awaiting adoption at the Ballymena rehoming centre, located at 60 Teeshan Road.
They include Galloway, Rocket, Olly and Zebedee who are “underdogs” – dogs that have been in the charity’s care for over six months.

9. Bailey
A stunning 5 year old St.Bernard Lurcher cross, Bailey is a gentle giant with a playful nature. He is the friendliest boy you could meet and greets everyone with a waggy tail. True to his Lurcher side, he loves a good sprint around so a family that enjoys getting out on adventures would be best. Bailey loves to play with toys but soft toys and tennis balls are definitely his favourite. He would be best suited to an adult only home or a home with older dog-savvy children, as he is a big strong boy. Photo: Dogs Trust
10. Mortimer
Gentleman Mortimer is a beautiful 10 year old German Shepherd who's looking for his forever retirement home. He is incredibly loyal, gentle natured and eager to find someone who will cherish him in his golden years. He enjoys leisurely walks, soft beds, and simply being near his favourite people. Mortimer would prefer to live in an adult only home to ensure they can give him all the attention he deserves. He is settled and calm, perfect for a home looking for a relaxed and affectionate companion. Photo: Dogs Trust
11. Rocket
Rocket is a 2-year-old crossbreed with so much to offer his new, forever home. Rocket has been working very hard to get ready for his fresh start, and he can’t wait to show you what an amazing boy he is! He will need multiple meets at the Rehoming Centre prior to adoption so that the training team can offer all the tips and tricks for introducing Rocket to his new life. Rocket is best suited as the only pet, and he will need an active, adult only household that most importantly love to have fun. A secure outdoor space would be amazing for him to run around, play and sniff during the day. His adopters should also be able to be at home with him at the beginning, and until leaving time can be gradually increased. Photo: Dogs Trust
12. Olly
Three year old Collie crossbreed Olly is a fantastic young man with so much love for people and a big zest for life. He is energetic and sweet natured to his core. With some dedicated and patient owners, Olly will make an amazing companion to his special someone. Olly would thrive in an adult only home in a quiet, rural location without much traffic passing by. His adopters should be able to be at home most of the day at the start until he is settled and leaving time can be built up. Olly has been doing really well at building his confidence around the other dogs at the Centre, but the team feel he would be best suited as the only dog in the home. Olly has some behaviour quirks that he will need to work on with his adopters and the Centre Training Team, so his new family will need to be ready and dedicated to this process! His adoption process will involve multiple meets here at the Centre, followed up by visits to the home with the Training Team. Photo: Dogs Trust
