Meet 9-year-old gorgeous pooches Fred and Roxie who are waiting on their tail-wagging happy ending

Fred and Roxie are two gorgeous pooches currently in the charity’s care, waiting to find their forever families.

Fred is a beautiful nine-year-old Springer Spaniel.

He is a busy boy who loves getting out for daily adventures, sniffy enrichment activities and his favourite game – fetch.

Fred is energetic and loves getting everyone involved with playtime.

He is equally happy to entertain himself if you are busy so will thrive with a family who understand when he prefers his own space.

Fred can be strong on lead so adopters will need to be fit and confident handling him on walks.

He does have a history of good recall which we feel optimistic he could build up with time with his new adopters.

Fred is a friendly lad who is happy to meet new people and other dogs when out and about.

He could potentially share his home with a dog pending successful meets at the rehoming centre and appropriate management during the settling in period.

Fred will happily join you in the car for adventures further afield and he is happy to be left at home for a few hours which could be gradually increased as he settles in.

If you think Fred could be you the adventure buddy for you, then please get in touch with the team at Dogs Trust Ballymena.

Roxie is a sweet and sprightly nine-year-old Jack Russell Terrier cross with plenty of love to give.

This happy girl is full of character and loves nothing more than snuggles, fuss, and curling up on the sofa beside her handlers.

Roxie is very friendly and affectionate and always has a waggy tail to greet you.

She also has a playful side and absolutely adores her toys.

She enjoys games of tug and chase and is always ready for a bit of fun with her human friends.

Roxie prefers shorter walks and loves an adventure, especially when it involves a trip to the beach.

Roxie would like to be the only pet in her forever home so she can enjoy all the attention she deserves, but she’s happy to see other dogs out on walks and enjoys walking alongside canine companions.

Roxie is looking for loving adopters, ideally with terrier experience, where she can enjoy the perfect balance of playtime, walkies, and cosy sofa snuggles.

She can live with older children who are dog savvy. Roxie's adopter should be someone that can spend time with her to continue her training.

She can be unsure of new people handling her at first, but once she knows you, she will be your best pal.

If Roxie sounds like the lady for you, please get in touch.

If you are interested in adopting Fred or Roxie, please get in touch with the team at Dogs Trust Ballymena or pop along to meet them.

Dogs Trust Ballymena is open for general browsing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 12–4pm and by pre-arranged appointments on Wednesday and Friday mornings.
