There are many dogs of all shapes and sizes being cared for by the team at Dogs Trust Ballymena.

Moss and Ella are just two of the gorgeous dogs waiting to be adopted.

If you're looking for a companion who enjoys going out for walks, training and relaxing in the house with his favourite people, then Moss could be boy for you.

He came into Dogs Trust care very underweight but, thanks to the tender, loving care he has received from his foster carers, he is now thriving and his true personality is coming through. He loves playing with toys and is happy amusing himself when playing. Moss isn’t comfortable going for walks near traffic so would benefit from some training and confidence building in this area. However, he is happy to jump in a car to a new walking destination.

Moss can be left on his own for a few hours once he is settled within a home, and he could live with children of secondary school age and older. He could also potentially share his home with another dog pending successful meets. Moss is a gorgeous young lad who is awaiting his second chance in life.

Ella, a five-year-old Rottweiler cross Husky, is the sweetest girl. Her happy energy and beautiful face would win any heart.

She loves outdoor adventures and will happily jump up in the car when going for a walk. She is very mannerly when walking on lead and always checks in for a quick pat every now and then when its walkies time. Ella is also a certified treat connoisseur and works hard for them with some tricks including sit and down. She would like to continue with her training when she is adopted. Ella is worried when visiting the vets and work will need to continue in this area with her new owners to overcome this fear.

Ella is an affectionate dog who adores people and company so is looking for a home with adopters who will be around most of the day, with leaving time being gradually increased. Ella was previously an outdoor dog so will need some help transitioning to living indoors. The team at Dogs Trust Ballymena don't think this will be very hard as Ella loves her home comforts and has been spending a lot of time in the office, enjoying the company and greeting everyone with a friendly hello. Although Ella enjoys walking with other dogs, she would prefer to be the only pet in her forever home and she could live with older children. If you have a gentle, patient manner, lots of love to give and a treat jar at the ready, then please go along and meet Ella.

If you are interested in adopting Moss or Ella, 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.
