Dogs Trust: Uri the one-year-old Rottweiler cross and cocker spaniel Hector both need rehoming in Northern Ireland
Dogs Trust currently has hundreds of dogs in its care, who are ready to meet someone like you.
Two beautiful boys at Dogs Trust Ballymena waiting to find their forever family, are Uri and Hector.
Uri is a gorgeous one-year-old Rottweiler cross. Uri is super friendly with humans and loves spending time with his people, whether that’s playing, heading out on a walking adventure, or simply relaxing.
He’s great in the car, making him an ideal companion for days out. He also really enjoys enrichment activities such as slow feeders and lick mats to keep his clever mind occupied. He is a great boy in the bath and enjoys a lovely pamper session.
Uri can be worried by other dogs, so he is looking for a home where he is the only pet with understanding adopters who are committed to continuing his training and helping him build confidence at his own pace. Uri is a strong boy, so he’d be best suited to an adult-only household or one with older teenagers who are confident around large dogs. He would love a secure garden of his own where he can sniff, explore, play, and enjoy some outdoor time.
Handsome Hector is a gentle, sweet-natured cocker spaniel, around eight years old, who forms wonderful bonds with the people he trusts. Once you’ve earned his confidence, his affectionate personality shines through, and he loves spending quality time with his favourite people, happily soaking up all the fuss and attention there is on offer.
He has settled brilliantly into his foster home and continues to make great progress every day. Hector enjoys the company of other dogs and has shown what a lovely companion he can be in a home environment. For someone looking for a loyal best friend, Hector will make an incredibly rewarding companion.
Hector is looking for calm and understanding adopters so he can continue to build his confidence at his own pace. Although he has made fantastic progress in foster care, he can find busy public environments overwhelming and will need adopters who are happy to introduce him to new experiences gradually, using plenty of patience and positive reinforcement.
He would love adopters that can offer him time, companionship and a predictable routine, allowing him to feel safe and secure as he settles in. Hector can live with other dogs, although he does appreciate having his own space from time to time, so respectful canine companions would suit him well. If you’re willing to give Hector the time he needs, you’ll have the privilege of watching him grow into an even more confident and trusting companion.
If you think you could be Uri or Hector’s person, then please pop along to Dogs Trust Ballymena.
Dogs Trust Ballymena is open to the public five days a week, and you don’t need an appointment to visit, see dogs looking for homes, get advice or apply to adopt.
