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

13. Galloway
Galloway is an adorable four-year-old Cockapoo who unfortunately, hasn’t had the best start to life. Since arriving with the centre, he has come on leaps and bounds and staff couldn’t be prouder of him. As Galloway is more on the nervous side, he will need an adult only home with adopters that will take things at his pace. He will need multiple meets at the Rehoming Centre so that you can get to know each other and form a friendship before he heads home. Galloway really comes out of his shell around other dogs and gains so much confidence in their presence. Photo: Dogs Trust
14. Gusty
Gusty is a handsome four year old Spaniel Crossbreed looking for an adult only home. Gusty came to the centre as a stray so staff have little known history about him. He enjoys getting to know people gradually so someone that has owned dogs with different personalities may understand him better than someone who is first time dog owner. Gusty could potentially live with another dog pending successful meets at the rehoming centre, though he gets on best with calm female dogs. He loves getting out and about to practice his training so he would love someone that can commit to continuing all his hard work. Photo: Dogs Trust
15. Olly
Border Collie cross Olly is energetic, sweet natured and very loving. Olly would like to live in an adult only home and he will need to live in a quiet, rural location with adopters who are able to be at home most of the day at the start until leaving time can be built up. As Olly is focusing hard on his "settling" he would be best suited as the only dog in the home. Sometimes he does enjoy saying hello to other calm, friendly dogs when out and about but quieter walking areas are much less stressful for him. 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. He will need a secure outdoor space to enjoy some playtime and mental stimulation when at home. He loves to sniff and explore, so a garden and daily walks will be amazing for Olly. Photo: Dogs Trust
16. Otter
Otter is a sweet and cuddly six year old Staffie. She greets everyone she meets with enthusiasm and her foster carers have described her as a loving family pet. She likes to snuggle on the sofa and ultimately just wants to have her humans close by. Overnight she sleeps in her crate in the foster carer's bedroom and needs a home where someone is going to be around with her, as she doesn't like being left alone. Otter is fully housetrained in her foster home. Staff are looking for a pet free home for Otter and a secure garden where she can have her own space to run around outside. Otter is uncomfortable meeting other dogs when out and about and has learnt how to wear a muzzle for her walks. She travels well on the back seat of the car and is more than happy to go travelling to find different walking areas that she won't meet other dogs. Photo: Dogs Trust
