Introducing Betty!

Betty is a beautiful 6 year old, deaf, short haired Collie cross, with the most amazing ears may we add! She came to the centre over a year ago with two other dogs who were both rehomed, but sadly Betty has never left the centre.


Due to the length of time she has been with us, she is really beginning to struggle in kennels. She has good doggy skills and loves a playful pal to wrestle with and then have a nice snuggle with when everyone goes home for the evening.

Betty is a super smart Collie and has learned her basic cues through hand signals and targeting, as she cannot hear cue words/sounds. She is a very sweet, affectionate dog and if there was an adopter looking for a clever Collie to work with, she would be amazing! 


Unfortunately for some reason, nobody ever asks about Betty but we know the right home is out there for her. She is a very pretty girl and would truly make an amazing dog for the right family!


For more information on adopting Betty, please pop into the centre or give us a call on (01) 879 1000. We would love to hear from you. If you know anyone thinking of adding to their family, please tell them about Betty, or any of the other 153 dogs we currently have here in the centre, looking for their forever homes.

All of these dogs will be neutered, microchipped and vaccinated before leaving the centre. They go home with a collar and lead, as well as a little bag of food to get you started! Dogs Trust also provide a lifetime of behavioural support for our dogs and their adopters! 

Just a few pics to share with you all...

Luah is an English Bull Terrier who is deaf. He has received some special training here so that he now knows some sign language! A very sweet dog, who needs a forever home ASAP.

 Oscar and Lilly, St Bernards. Lilly has been rehomed since this pic was taken and we are now looking for a home for her friend Oscar. He is a big loveable boy, who just wants someone to play with.

 Jake is a 2 and half year old German Shepherd who just wants a home where his family will take the time to get to know him. He just loves to play with his friend Korma!

This is Jake playing ball with his pal, Korma. Korma is a 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. He is just full of mischief so would promise plenty of fun times for a prospective new family.

This is Finn - talk about a stunning looking dog! He is still only a baby at 9 months old, so would definitely need a home where the family will work patiently with him to improve his doggy skills. Once he gets to know you, Finn will be your best friend and probably never want to leave your side!

Poor Scooter is not the most attractive looking dog. We suspect he came to us with ringworm or mange, which badly damaged his skin and has left the poor guy with serveral bald patches. Aside from this appearance though, this little guy is an absolute super star who just wants someone to love him and play with him.

Oh now this beauty is Dove. She is just stunning, don't you think? She is a 2 year old Collie cross, just a fabulous all-round dog, who can be a pure goofball when she gets to know and trust you! She does love company so would need a home where someone would be home with her the majority of the day.

If you are interested in any of the above dogs and think you could offer them the loving home they deserve, please do pop into the centre for a visit! We open every day from 12pm til 4pm, apart from Tuesdays. We are even open at the weekends and bank holidays! If you know someone who is thinking of adding to their family, do have them check out our website or pop in to say hello, we have over 154 adult dogs and puppies who are all looking for their forever homes!
