There are lots of beautiful dogs of all shapes and sizes currently being cared for by the fantastic team at Dogs Trust Ballymena.

Maverick and Max are just two of the gorgeous pups waiting to be adopted.

Maverick is a loveable young Labrador who is a happy chap.

He is currently in foster care where he is good in the home and is happy playing with his toys and wrestling with the other dog in his foster home. In the evening, Maverick likes to snuggle up to his foster carer on the sofa. Maverick doesn’t enjoy being left alone as he likes company so is looking for a home with someone who is around most of the time.

He finds travelling in a car quite stressful and will be vocal during journeys, so requires some help in this area.

Maverick’s favourite walking locations are quieter areas. As a big lad, he is very strong on the lead.

Maverick could share his home with other dogs and older secondary school aged children who are dog savvy and confident around a big, strong dog. He will be a great match for an adopter wanting companionship and a dog to do training with. If Maverick sounds like the ‘pawfect’ fit for you, please get in touch with the team at Dogs Trust Ballymena.

Max, meanwhile, is a very sweet one-year-old Wheaten Terrier. He is a super-friendly boy who loves cuddles and getting plenty of attention from people. Max is an active lad who enjoys his daily walks, games of tug, and enrichment games that keep his brain working hard and occupied. Max can’t wait to be part of a family, so he is looking for adopters with the time and love to give.

Max has doggie friends he goes on walks with, however, he would prefer to be the only dog in his new home. He could live with children aged 16 and over who have experience of living with a large dog.

He is looking for a quiet home without too many visitors and would like company until time left alone can be gradually increased. The lucky adopters of Max must be dedicated, patient and understanding while he learns about living in a home.

If you are interested in adopting Maverick or Max, please get in touch with the team at Dogs Trust Ballymena or pop along to see the dogs in person.

The rehoming centre is open for general browsing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm, and by pre-arranged appointments on Wednesday and Friday mornings.
