Ger is a beautiful 9 year old German Shepherd. Poor Ger was found straying; cold, hungry and completely emaciated, he was in terrible condition and massively underweight. Our amazing vet staff and carers at Dogs Trust have helped nurse him back to health and he’s looking and feeling so much better.
Ger's story, unfortunately doesn't end there. Ger became quite ill recently and we discovered a mass deep in his abdominal cavity and we’re unsure just how long Ger will remain symptom free. All we can do now is keep Ger as comfortable as possible and closely monitor his welfare. Despite this, Ger is full of positivity and the sweetest, most loving and affectionate fella you could ever meet! He’s hugely popular here with both the staff and the other dogs!
We would love to give Ger the opportunity to live out the rest of his days in a home, a home he should have had from the very start. He would understandably need a quiet home to help him through this difficult time and he’s great with other dogs, so as long as they’re not too bouncy and playful, he’d happily live with a fellow canine companion.
If you can give Ger the final opportunity of the home he always dreamed of, please call our rehoming centre on 01 8791000 or email reception@dogstrust.ie x
Living in a kennel environment such as Dogs Trust can be taxing on any dog. Dogs are companion animals and their ideal living environment is in the centre of a loving home, being made feel part of the family.
While we are extremely lucky to have a fantastic facility here, and an abundance of help in the form of volunteers, dedicated adopters and donors - unfortunately for some dogs this isn’t enough.
Our Sticky and Tricky dogs are the dogs that for one reason or another are not a straightforward "rehome" or struggle with kennel life so much that they require more help and support from the Behaviour Team, carers and future adopters.
There are some dogs included in our Sticky list that through no fault of their own are being missed or unnoticed by potential adopters.
The term sticky is used for dogs that have been in our care over 6 months. Any dog that is struggling in the centre, and potentially will need some additional help with their new home, is added to the "Tricky" list. All dogs on these lists are reviewed regularly by our Behaviour Team and have active training plans in place to help them with any issue that might be holding them back.
If you are an experienced dog owner and would like to offer a forever home to one of our Sticky or Tricky dogs, why not pop up to the centre and have a chat with our Rehoming Team? We're open 6 days a week from 12pm-4pm (we close on Tuesdays!)
Roxy is a beautiful medium sized cross breed, most likely a Labrador / Collie mix, who's currently residing in our Rehoming Centre here in Dublin. Roxy was born here on 31st May 2010, but unfortunately, Roxy is still looking for her forever home and she wants us to share with you, her story.
“I’ve never really known what it’s like to live in a home. As I sat in my kennel as a wee pup, I saw my litter mates be picked up by their loving new families, one by one, being taken to their happy forever after. Just as I thought my luck had run out, I was chosen too! A family took me home and promised me I’d be theirs forever, but they just didn’t understand what I needed. I was only a baby - I needed help and guidance, but instead, I was left in the back garden. I felt so lonely, confused and hurt that the people who said they’d love me, left me alone.
I missed out on a huge part of my socialisation and the whole world seemed so daunting and scary. I was on my own all day, starved of the one thing I crave the most, affection from people. Bored, restless, frustrated, scared and confused, I tried to keep myself busy to save me thinking about how desperately unhappy I was but in my attempt to keep myself busy, I ended up chewing things that the humans in the home found valuable and important, more important than me - as I was returned to Dogs Trust as they simply felt that they hadn’t the time or energy to devote to me. I only wanted to be loved.
Since being back in Dogs Trust, I’m finding it more and more difficult to cope with this kind of a lifestyle. My carers adore me, they make such a huge fuss of me here. They even built a specially designed low stress unit with my own bedroom, lounge, sun room and mini beach compound to play in. They have a lady who comes in especially to do T-touch with me (a sort of doggie massage) and I get walked off site, in new exciting places several times a week! They really are doing everything they can to make me happy and carefully monitor how happy I am to ensure they’re always making me their priority!
It’s just not the same though - all I want is a home to call my own! I just want to be loved and experience a happy home life again. I have brains to burn, you have NO idea how smart I am! I know a whole heap of tricks and adore to show off with my carers during our clicker training sessions. I have so much love to give, just ask any of my friends. I’m so, so worried about being let down again that I fall apart when my carers leave my kennel and it breaks their heart to see me so upset too.
There’s loads of video footage of me with my pal Ali. She takes me out and about all the time, even on her days off, just so I can get out of the centre for a while. We have such an awesome relationship, she said she would love to bring me home, but her own dog wouldn’t be so keen on sharing his human with another dog, neither would I for that matter!
I’ve been let down in the past and now I find it a little bit difficult to trust people, especially when people come too close to my belongings. My belongings (food bowl, chews, toys) are the only things I’ve ever really had in my life and they’re very precious to me. However, I build relationships super quickly and once I know you, there’s no getting rid of me. I’d literally dig a tunnel under the earth to get to be with the people I love.
All I ask is that my new family understand that after 4 years of living in this environment, it’s going to take me a little time to adapt to the outside world again and because of this, I need an adult only home, with no visiting children.
I don’t think I’d do all that well in a suburban or city environment, I would find the hustle and bustle just far too overwhelming. I adore walking in Phoenix park though, I could paddle in those lakes for hours on end!
I really need to be the only pet in the home. Although I used to share a large kennel with another dog, the stress of living here just got too much and I did better being on my own and not having to share my belongings. I do ok with dogs when I’m out walking, I tend to ignore them as I’m just not that interested in making dog pals at the moment. I think I might like to in time though and I’ve made a few puppy friends recently.
It might take time for you to see my true self, but be patient! As you can see from my video above, when I’m in good form, I absolutely shine! I just want a break in life. I deserve a chance like the rest of my pals here do. If you take that chance on me, you will never, ever regret it. You will find a true friend for life in me and I’ll love you for the rest of our days."
If you think you can offer this special girl a forever home, please do pop up to the centre and say hi! Our experienced Rehoming Team can tell you even more about gorgeous Roxy, and whether she would be suitable for your home. If you're not in a position to adopt, you can still show Roxy some love by sending her a gift from our online shop - www.dogstrustshop.ie

Our last post, quite a while ago now was about old pair, Zack and Miko.
Miko came to our care after being found abandoned, cold and hungry with her life long partner Zack. Since coming into our care, Zack & Miko have been inseparable, never leaving one another’s sides. They ate together, snoozed together and watched the world go by together. Sadly, as his health deteriorated, Miko had to say her final farewell to Zack. It was a terribly upsetting time for all the Dogs Trust staff but even more so, for his life long love Miko. Poor Miko wouldn’t eat and remained mourning, curled up in Zacks bed.
It took all her carers attempts and efforts to help cheer her up. After a while, she began to eat again and we’re now desperately seeking her forever home where she can be assured that no harm will come to her again. Miko needs a home with another dog, someone sweet and gentle who won’t be too pushy or playful with her. Miko finds the outside world very frightening and needs a home with a large secure and quiet garden where she can simply potter on her own accord with her doggy companion. Miko simply needs a warm, secure and safe environment to retire in. She doesn’t demand any walks, training or even too much fuss from her new family, just somewhere to be in peace and be loved for who she is and for everything she has been through. If you think you can offer Miko a retirement home, please please get in touch with the centre. You can call us on 01 879 1000 or even better, pop in to see us at the Rehoming Centre. We're located just 2 minutes from exit 5 of the M50, head towards Ashbourne/Derry and take the first left hand slip road, signposted Coldwinters. We're just at the end of that road. Dogs Trust opens 6 days a week, from 12pm-4pm. We close all day Tuesdays.
Many people want to bring the joys of dog ownership into their homes but not every home is suitable. You love dogs but you're out for part of the day. You want a dog but worry about their companionship whilst you're out. You love dogs but aren't really into exercise or daily walks. You would love a dog but don't feel physically able for one. Do you dream of having a dog to potter about outside whilst you enjoy a spot of gardening? Do you dream of a dog who's always happy to see you but isn't overly dependent on your time or energy? Do you want a dog to snooze away in the warmth of your kitchen or conservatory, or to snuggle up in a heated outhouse with all the garden to explore? Do you want to give an extra special dog the chance to discover there is something more to life than just a kennel, something more than they ever dreamed of? Zach & Miko could be the ideal dogs for you!
Zach & Miko came to Dogs Trust from a rescue in Cork where they were abandoned at the gate. Since coming to Dogs Trust, they've enjoyed the comforts of a heated kennel, fresh food, veterinary care for their wounds and a whole lot of love! Living here is so good, they're worried they might go back to a life of abandonment. Because they are warm, comfortable and feel safe here they don't understand that there is even more to life than just their kennel and fresh food so we're appealing for a very special home for this very special pair for their twilight years. Zach & Miko would happily live in a secure, heated outdoor area with lots of toys to play with. They're so used to being alone together that it won't matter if you're away for part of the day. They both find the great outdoors really overwhelming and would struggle going on walks, they'd be happier to just potter about a large garden and in their own time, they'd love to snuggle up in front of a warm fire or stove in the kitchen. Both these guys struggle with handling, the poor critters have obviously received very little love in their time but despite this, they're always happy to see you and swirl their tails around in joy when they see their favourite people. They just need to know that there is more to life than a kennel and things can get even better for them. These two deserve to live the rest of their humble lives with someone to love them, adore them and provide the simplest of life's pleasures. In return, their lucky family will gain the most incredible trust, bond and undeniable love from this special pair. Could you be the special home these two deserve? Contact our rehoming centre for more information or pop in between 12 & 4 every day except Tuesdays and speak to a member of our rehoming team. PS - Check out this super cute video Zach and Miko loving the camera!
In our last post, you met the amazing Monty! Sadly, Monty is still with us here at the Rehoming Centre, but we're hoping you'll help us change that! Monty has been with us since he was about 3 months old and he's about 8 months old now. As we mentioned in our previous post, he has a condition called Megaesophagus which means that the pipe his food travels down to his tummy, doesn't work like it should. Initially Monty needed to be fed from a height, and to be held upright immediately after for a period of 20 minutes. This was to allow for the safe passage of food to his tummy. Monty had surgery in UCD, his chest was opened to repair the connection between his mouth and stomach and he healed very well afterwards. Now Monty still needs to eat his food from a height, but doesn't need to be held at all afterwards!!! Hooray :)
Monty knows exactly where he gets his dinner! :)
We would love to find this young man his forever home - he truly deserves it after all he has been through. Monty comes with his fancy chair which we custom built for him, so potential owners would just need to be able to shower him with love and attention! We absolutely guarantee that Monty will be the most amazing addition to his new family.
If you think you can offer Monty the dedicated home he needs and deserves, please get in touch! You can call the centre on 01 879 1000 or pop in and say hi! Our address is:
An extra special boy, looking for an extra special home...
Breed: Alaskan
Malamute cross
Gender: Male
Age : 4 months
Colour : Black
with grey socks
I Like: Playing
with my toys
My name is Monty and
I’ve been told that I’ve stolen the hearts of all the staff at Dogs Trust. I
think they just love me a little bit more because I require extra special care.
I suffer from a condition called megaesophagus.
When the oesophagus (food pipe) is functioning properly, food moves from the mouth to
the stomach within seconds. In megaesophagus, there are issues with nerve and
muscle functioning, as a result the food does not always reach my stomach. Food
can build up causing me to regurgitate, it’s quite serious as it can lead to a
lack of nutrients and aspiration pneumonia, which can have fatal consequences.
The vets have
explained everything to me and unfortunately there’s nothing they can do, other
than help me to manage my condition.
It’s been a bit scary but the staff have
designed an amazing high chair so I can stand and eat from a tray in front of
me. As soon as I see it, I know it’s time to eat! What’s even better is that I
have to be held upright for 20 minutes after eating, which means lots of extra
cuddles from the canine carers!
Monty's special box!
Despite my eating
concerns I’m a really a happy puppy and I enjoy all the usual stuff like
playing fetch and getting up to mischief! I need a dedicated owner with the
patience and confidence to undertake a special needs dog and in return I
promise to be a loyal and loving best friend!

We are very pleased to announce that following detailed correspondence with the team at the DoneDeal, they have agreed to make a number of key, ground-breaking changes in their terms and conditions when advertising dogs on their website.
As part of their ongoing commitment to responsible pet advertising Donedeal.ie have agreed to the following measures:
•A Dogs Trust digital banner has been placed over all advertisements for dogs between now and Christmas 2013 asking people to think very carefully about the responsibilities of dog ownership and not to purchase a dog as a Christmas gift.
•All dog advertisements will be prohibited in the weeks running up to Christmas 2014. Regretfully contractual restrictions for Done Deal meant this could not be achieved for Christmas 2013 but we welcome the website’s commitment for next year
The reality is that the online sale of dogs is here to stay. However Dogs Trust is acutely aware of the need to manage and control the influx of inappropriate pet advertising particularly during the busy Christmas season.
We, along with our animal welfare colleagues and vets are working towards a unified approach with this message and are currently working on establishing an Irish based Pet Advertising Advisory Group (PAAG) working to promote responsible pet advertising across all platforms.
Hey friends and followers! Let me introduce myself. I’m Otis and I’d like to tell you a little about myself.
Otis - so named after the great, Mr Otis Reading :)
Back in 2011, when we were about 15 weeks old, my brothers and sisters and I arrived at Dogs Trust from the pound. We were all in pretty bad shape but I think I was the worst off. I had this thing called Ringworm, all around my eyes and legs, and patches of my skin were raw and very sore. My hair started to fall out too. I made sure to let my carers know that it really hurt when they picked me up, and they organised to get me the right medicine from my friend, Renagh the vet. We’re pretty good friends at this stage, myself and Renagh. She has helped me so much during my time here. She cleaned my sores, and then when I got a bad bout of doggie dermatitis, she was the one who did the surgery to remove the tips of my ears and my tail too. She also organised a special diet for me, to help my hair grow back. I make sure to give her lots of licks and waggy tails when I visit her in the vet suite, so she knows that I appreciate all she does. I’m still recovering and I’ll need regular check ups to make sure I’m on the right track. My brothers and sisters have long since found their forever homes, and I’m really ready for it to be my turn now! My carers here at Dogs Trust do so much for me, I know they won’t stop until they find me the perfect family! In the meantime, you can help them to help dogs like me by donating as little or as much money as you can. You can do it online through our website, over the phone, through Facebook or you can even pop a cheque or postal order in the post for us! You can also join our Facebook event, which tells you of some of the different things you could donate to the centre such as bedding, toys and treats - to help make the lives of the dogs even better while they’re here in the centre. Make sure to check back to Facebook and this blog regularly to keep up with my adventures. And next week, I will be introducing you to one of my other special friends! Stay tuned! Over and out, Otis

Some of you may or may not be aware that as well as the work we are doing here in Ireland and over in the neighbouring UK, Dogs Trust provides practical assistance to animal welfare organisations around the world, who are striving to make meaningful and lasting improvements to dog welfare in their own communities. You can read more about these projects on our International website https://dogstrustinternational.com Recently, one of our Training and Behaviour Advisors, Alison Ramsay, was afforded the opportunity to travel to Bulgaria and lend a hand at a dog shelter in Sofia.. Here's what she had to say about the experience: I recently had an amazing opportunity to travel to Sofia, Bulgaria to help with a four day behaviour workshop. Twenty five delegates from all over Bulgaria took part in the workshop hosted by Dogs Trust and Animal Rescue Sofia. The workshop involved two days of understanding the theory behind our dogs behaviour, followed by two days of practical demonstrations in Animal Rescue Sofia's Shelter. The shelter is the largest in Bulgaria and houses 500 dogs. It is staffed by a maximum of 5 carers each day - this means that each person is responsible for 100 dogs! The dogs are predominantly street dogs that have been picked up due to being poorly or considered a pest to the local community. The Shelter receives no state funding and is completely reliant on the money they raise from donations and support from organisations such as Dogs Trust. The attitude and dedication of the people who work with the stray dogs in Bulgaria is truly inspiring. They have an overwhelming amount of work ahead to try and improve the welfare of the streets dogs that are commonly seen as vermin but they are unfailing in their determination and passion. Not only are Animal Rescue Sofia micro-chipping, vaccinating and neutering all dogs (stray or owed) free of charge, they are finding loving homes for these dogs all over Europe and Bulgaria and constantly seeking to understand the animals in their care. The workshop was really well received and everyone was keen to ask questions and put themselves forward to work with the dogs at the Shelter during the practical days training.
I consider myself so lucky to have been given the opportunity to go to Bulgaria. The idea was that I would be able to share some of my knowledge with the delegates but I came away having had an amazing experience meeting some fantastic people and dogs. Here's some pics of the pooches Ali met on her trip
Huge thanks to those of you who are so supportive of our work.

Here at Dogs Trust, we are super
proud of all our dogs. Whether they still live here with us or have gone to
their forever homes, we just think they are all amazing!
Rascal, a 3 year old Rottweiler
cross, came to us last August. He was a super clever boy who knew how to sit
and give the paw, and would give his carers a big wag anytime they passed his
kennel. We were thrilled to find him the perfect home last October with his new
family, Lawrie and Paul, who renamed him Floyd.
Lawrie emailed us recently with a
heart-warming story about Floyd.Paul and Floyd
were out walking along the footpath at the back of CrumlinHospital
when Floyd became very alert and attentive towards the direction of the park
across the road. He is always well behaved on the lead so this was unusual and
Paul let Floyd lead him 150 meters into the park and stood to attention with
his back to a gentleman who had fallen the ground, bringing Paul's attention to
him. The gentleman was a local man in his late 60's and said that he had been
there for at least an hour.
An ambulance
was called and the paramedics felt that the gentleman may have suffered a dizzy
spell and took him to casualty for assessment. This was very late at night, but
no doubt they will come across the gentleman again and he will certainly
recognise Floyd!
Lawrie says of Floyd:
“He is so gentle when playing with the local
kids that he brings the game down to suit little ones. All the neighbours can't
believe we haven't had him since he was a puppy. He's a very intuitive dog. The
cat loves him now, which thrills him & freaks him out in equal proportions.
Thanks again for saving him. He's rewarding that back big time!”
We are so
thrilled to hear that this gorgeous boy has hit the jackpot with his forever
family, and that he is now a familiar face in his local community!
The superhero himself!

Hi everyone! It’s Angel here. You may know me from my ‘Ask Angel’ column in Dog Tales magazine…
Anyway I just wanted to share some pictures with you of my recent day out to Phoenix Park, with my Canine Carer, Sarah H. I had SUCH a great day!
Poor Sarah, I pulled a little on my lead at first as I was just SO excited. I settled down pretty quickly though, and got to meet doggies young and old, big and small, all of whom were greeted with my trademark waggy bum and big wet nose!
We also met some squirrels, ducks and deer (what crazy looking creatures!). I happily met lots of different adults but didn’t really like meeting young children. They're a bit scary.
At the top of my wish list is a forever home in a house with adults, who are strong and can bring me for nice long walks. I am very sociable and love giving lots of cuddles.
I’m just a large lady with a lot of love to give!
If you think you can offer me the home that I'm dreaming of, do pop by the centre and visit me. I also have lots of friends here, of all shapes and sizes, who are looking for homes too. Here's a link to a map, so you can find us!
Every single day at Dogs Trust we meet incredibly courageous and amazing dogs. These dogs have all been given a second chance thanks to our wonderful supporters. We thought we would introduce you to one of these dogs and share his story. Meet Brave.
Hi my name is Brave. I was found chained to the fence at Dogs Trust on a freezing February night. I was so frightened, scared and cold as I watched my owner drive off and abandon me. My front paw was badly broken. My owner had tried to use masking tape to fix it but it only made things worse. I was in so much pain as I also had lots of other old injuries that had never been treated properly.
A nice man and woman at Dogs Trust quickly untied me, wrapped me in a big cosy duvet and whisked me straight to the vets. It was lovely to have someone care for me. I never had that before and I nuzzled in for cuddles on the drive.
The vets ran all sorts of tests on me. I have a complicated joint problem in my ankle and wrist and a few small tumours. The vet managed to straighten out my front paw, it feels better already and they operated on the tumours too.I am also going to need very expensive surgery to fix my back leg in a few weeks time, I’m nervous but I know I’m in good hands.
It is only through the generosity of it’s supporters that Dog Trust can pay for all the veterinary treatment I am going to need.
In a few months my bones and scars will heal and in time so will my heart. Dogs Trust will love and care for me and when the time is right find me a new forever home and for that I am one grateful Greyhound.
Love and hearts

Brave is just one of many dogs who have to undergo life saving procedures each day at Dogs Trust. By supporting Dogs Trust you can help give more dogs and puppies their second chance at life. To find out more about the work we do visit our website www.dogstrust.ie/
Apart from the risks of obesity and the obvious dangers of eating the foil wrapping, the biggest risk of eating human chocolate is poisoning, resulting in an emergency dash to the vet and sadly even death. Our TBA (Training and Behavious Adviser) Catherine has been busy in the kitchen, lovingly creating some delicious, heart friendly goodies for our fab four legged friends this Easter. It went down so well here, we thought we'd share with you Catherines secret recipe to get tongues lolling, tails wagging and hearts beating for your canine bunnies!
Catherine Says, Regardless of your dogs breed, age or size, it's important to look after their heart! The following recipe contains heart strengthening, anti-oxidant busting ingredients, all of which are guaranteed to get tails wagging like bunnies! (NOTE: please feed sparingly, the following recipe is designed to be a treat and not substitute a well balanced meal for your dog. Cut into tiny pieces, this makes for an excellent training treat)!
And now for the Science bit..... Calcium - helps with heart muscle contraction (yogurt) Potassium - protects the heart from heart disease (banana) Magnesium - maintains heart rhythm (oats) Vitamin C - helps protect the heart from free radicals (strawberries) Omega Oils - a super oil to help protect the heart (oily fish, olive oil) Ingredients: 2 cups of porridge oats 2 eggs Honey 1/2 cup of natural yogurt 1 cup of your dogs kibble 1/2 tin of tuna or salmon 1 mashed banana Drizzle of honey Drizzle of olive oil Strawberries to garnish Method: - Preheat your oven to 150 degrees. - Drizzle a baking tray with a little olive oil. - In a large mixing bowl, mash up your banana, add oats, eggs, tinned fish and bashed up kibble, squeeze of honey. - YOU WANT THE MIXTURE TO LOOK A LITTLE LIKE A FLAPJACK MIXTURE add more or less Oat and Kibble if too wet or add a little more egg if too dry. - Smear and smoosh the mixture onto the baking tray until flat and about an inch thick. Bake for about 20 minutes, depending on the consistency it may need longer so keep your eye on it! - Remove from the tray and leave cool on a chopping board. - Cut into little squares and put a dollop of yogurt onto each slice and garnish with a slither of strawberry. - Prepare yourself for excessive salivating and willingness to suddenly perform that trick you've been trying to teach them for the past few weeks! :)
