Rehomed

‼️No need to telephone, you need to attend the kennels to rehome. All information contained in this post

🐶Gizmo is a male Shih-Tzu who is 8 years old. House/lead/car trained. Vaccinated, no certificate provided, therefore booster recommended. Good with kids and other dogs. Gizmos coat needs a professional groom.

🐶How do I rehome?
-We open 10am-1pm weekdays, 10am-12pm Saturday and closed Sundays.
***Bank holidays 10am-12pm
-You need to attend the kennels to rehome, we DO NOT reserve.
-There may be visitors waiting from before opening.
-Visitors will chose their dog in order of arrival (provided they have valid photo ID and we feel they are suitable).
-Visitors do not need to stand at the gate of the kennels, they are welcome to wait in their car and staff will be available from early morning to speak to them.

Rehoming fee for adults is £80.
Rehoming fee for puppies is £120.

A dog licence must also be applied for (we do this at the time of rehoming) licence free for over 65s with no other dogs, £5 for those on benefits or £12.50.

Kennels are situated at 40 Tobercorran Road, Downpatrick BT30 8HU

**We are a council dog pound and we work very hard to do the best for dogs in our care despite limited funding**

**Home Checks**
We do not complete home checks as there is no funding or resources provided for this. If we are concerned about a particular person or dog we can ask the dog warden to complete a home check prior to rehoming but there is no capacity for the dog warden to complete a large volume of these as they have their normal workload and duties.
ID is taken from each person wishing to rehome a dog, the dog is then microchipped and licenced to the person supplying ID.
We have been doing this for 23 years, we DO NOT just hand a dog out to someone who isn’t suitable even if they are the first person there, many visitors are guided and even refused where necessary when they are unsuitable for a particular dog.

**Spaying/neutering**
We complete spays/neuters when we are provided with funding to do so. This has kindly been provided by Dogs Trust in recent years. When dogs are spayed/neutered under our care they can be rehomed immediately unless our vet advises to hold them due to medical issues. The scheme is not perfect but it has allowed many dogs to be spayed/neutered that otherwise wouldn’t of been and from that perspective it has been a massive success. We feel many dogs recover better in a home than in kennels and for this reason do not hold dogs longer than necessary.

❗️**Facebook comments**❗️
Derogatory comments made against the kennels and/or their processes/policies will not be tolerated. We do the best we can in a very challenging environment and DO NOT have the time to debate with commenters on Facebook about the reasons we do things the way we do especially when they can’t even take time to read the page to establish we are a dog pound. Therefore any derogatory comments around home checks, spaying, etc. will result in the user facing a permanent ban from the page.

Is there room in your life for a super goofy husky? 🤪

A darling boy with a beautiful personality to match his good looks 😉

He is 3 years old, male, Siberian husky 🐶

He is very friendly and lovable big dote. Not sure if he can be rehomed with cats. He is good with children and can be rehomed with female dogs. He is a flirt when it comes to the ladies. All he wants to do is play with toys, people and bottles 🙈

He is house trained and neutered, loves getting out for walks, can be strong but does settle down when he gets going. A big affectionate sod that just wants to please people. He will make a wonderful companion for someone💜

Lola ❤️ (Reserved)

Lola is a 1 yr old pup with boundless affection for other dogs and people.
She is quiet at home, settles in the evening after a walk, and is almost fully house trained.
Lola loves rubs from her humans and snuggling and kissing her fur friends.
She is used to humans at home and can get stressed if left alone for long periods but is fine for a few hours.
Lola likes her favourite toy bone and is not fussy with food .
Lola requires further training on a lead, she loves lifting sticks, stopping at water, and whilst she has a beautiful nature, she seems over stimulated on walks and is very vocal when meeting dogs/humans.
This beautiful young pup would benefit from another young dog for company and play.
Lola has been very car sick but, with exposure, is now going further distances without obvious distress

We really don’t want to separate the girls but if no home is found then we will have to separate them😭

Alaska (6) and Pinky (5) petite huskies with such delicate, loving souls. They have the sweetest personalities, super friendly and very sociable with people and other dogs, not sure about cats. They are fantastic with children (all ages) and fantastic with other dogs.

I cannot emphasis this enough they are extremely well behaved, and are house trained. They truly are a perfect duo, I promise to whomever adopts them you will not regret it, they will make a wonderful companion and family pet.

They are such pleasant huskies and don’t deserve to be in rescue, they should be with a loving family enjoying life 💞

If you can offer these girls their forever home together please contact us via private message or email and ask for Alaska & Pinky 💜

**REHOMED**

Imagine having your whole world turn upside down, not knowing how or why it happened, holding onto any ounce of hope and patiently waiting in the boarding kennels for your owners to come back but they never do. They discarded you like a piece of dirt.

Keibo a beautiful loving husky that deserves to have a family that truly want him. He is very friendly and has a fantastic personality and nature. He would make a wonderful companion. He is energetic and loves to do a good few husky zoomies around the yard. He does like other dogs and enjoys the crack. He walks well on the lead and enjoys going on adventures. He is a pleasant boy and takes treats very gently, he can also be rehomed with children. He is aged approximately 7/8 years old.

If you can offer Keibo his forever home please contact us via private message or email or click the link below 👇🏽
