Rehomed

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

🐶 Teddy is a male cockapoo who is 11 months old. House/lead/car trained - Teddy is obedience trained, he sits, stays, gives paws etc. Fully Vaccinated, certificate provided. Good with kids and other dogs. Teddy is a friendly and affectionate boy who is typical for breed - energetic & bouncy, he needs a home that can provide lots of exercise and stimulation. Teddy will need regular grooming, he is well socialised and attends the groomer regularly, he is also very good at sitting patiently to have his beard tidied in between grooms.

🐶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 your dog going into kennels over the summer holidays? ☀️ Are they up to date with their vaccinations?

If your dog’s vaccinations have lapsed, we are offering a vaccine amnesty from now until the end of June! This means you can restart your dog’s vaccination course for the price of a booster, saving yourself £25! 🐶💉 (𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙠𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙫𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚)

Thank you for the likes and follows 🫶🏽
This will just be a wee side venture, small house dogs that aren’t suited to kennels will be welcomed to our home and spoilt just as much as our Poppy Pup 🐶
