"I have adopted two dogs from Dogs Trust Ballymena, Tizzy is 11 and Archie is 3. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the centre is bright and clean, although we haven't seen the brand new centre. The staff are very knowledgeable and help you through the adoption process as well as helping with any training and support required after adoption."

"Adopted Kevin here 9 weeks ago. Very lively spaniel cross breed. Good advice and backup and time to agree the decision. He is hard work but giving our life a purpose. We are trying different training methods and now have a trainer using psychology and clicker training which we are happier with. He is a happy boy and settling in well. A rehomed dog can give so much back if you put the time and effort in. 🐕"
