Here are two gorgeous dogs from Dogs Trust Ballymena who need homes

The Dogs Trust Ballymena team is caring for lots of lovely lads and lassies, of all shapes and sizes, that are waiting on their tail-wagging happy ending.

And here two pawsome pooches currently in the charity’s care waiting to be adopted are Paddy and Coach.

They say: ‘Paddy is a gentle-natured, friendly six-year-old Boxer dog who is full of love.

‘And Paddy adores affection, even more than treats and toys.

‘This wonderful lad has a sweet nature and is sure to bring a smile to your face every day.

‘Paddy enjoys walkies and will enthusiastically jump into the car if it means going on a fun walking adventure.

‘He is on medication, which will be discussed with any potential adopters.

‘Paddy could potentially live in a home with secondary school-age children and with another dog, as he previously lived with another four-legged friend.

‘He prefers dogs with a calmer nature who will join him in taking it easy.

It would be great if Paddy's adopter could be with him when he first goes home, as he is such an affectionate boy, so he enjoys company and snuggles galore’.

Meanwhile ‘Coach is a beautiful three-year-old Pointer who is friendly and energetic’.

Dogs Trust say: ‘His favourite pastime is playing fetch.

‘He also greatly enjoys his daily walks, no matter the location, so if you are on the lookout for a hiking buddy, Coach could be the boy for you

‘He is sociable with other dogs so when on his walks he is happy saying hello to four-legged friends.

‘As Coach is an active young dog, he would adore a home with a large, secure garden where he can run freely and enjoy some fetch playtime.

‘He could potentially live with other dogs pending successful meets at Dogs Trust Ballymena, however, he would equally be happy as the only dog in his new home.

‘He is fully housetrained, but would still appreciate company during the day as he loves spending time with his people.

‘Leaving time could be built up once settled. He is strong on lead, so requires adopters who are used to walking a large breed dog.

‘Coach is a sociable chap who has previously been around children, therefore he could share his forever home with dog-savvy children aged 10 and over.

‘If you are interested in adopting Paddy or Coach, 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 12–4pm and by pre-arranged appointments on Wednesday and Friday mornings’.
