Bob and Merle came to Dogs Trust Ballymena Rehoming Centre independently, and both were positioned into foster care. Neither dog has actually received any interest yet from prospective adopters.
Two-year-old Collie cross Bob, whose background is unidentified after being discovered as a roaming, has actually remained in his short-term residence for 6 months.
He shown up in Dogs Trust care in a dreadful state, underweight and not sure about the world. Now, good-looking Bob has actually put on weight and is thriving in his foster home – with his spirited and friendly character shining through.
Dylan Paton, Home from Home Co-ordinator at Dogs Trust Ballymena said: “Bob is now bounding into life with a very big spring in his step.
“He is super friendly and enthusiastic, especially when meeting new people. He loves to play, enjoys his walks and loves food time.
“Bob is very strong on the lead and when walked by busy roads he gets excited about passing cars so much prefers to be walked in quiet rural areas.”

“Although Bob is happy and friendly when meeting other dogs, he’s looking for a home where he is the only dog. He needs adopters who have the time and patience for an energetic and intelligent young dog.”
He might reside in a home with kids aged 14 and over, and wishes to have business for the majority of the day, specifically as he settles into his brand-new home.
After a hard start, this unique boy is delighted about life and has great deals of love to provide.
Four-year-old Merle is a stunning Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador cross who has actually remained in his foster home for 3 months.
Mr Paton said: “Merle is a friendly big boy who loves nothing more than a good snuggle on the sofa, which means the sofa needs to be rather large.
“He is happily sharing his foster home with other dogs and has lived with a cat before so he could live with other pets pending successful meets.
“Merle enjoys long walks and loves off lead playtime in an enclosed area.
“He is a sociable lad who relishes company and is sure to bring lots of laughs and companionship to his new owners.”

Mr Pat thanks the set’s foster carers and said among the most significant benefits of foster care was that “you get to see their true personalities and how they behave in a home environment.”
He said in Bob’s case, his foster carers have actually seen huge modifications in look and personality given that he concerned Dogs Trust – thanks to the empathy and care revealed to him in his short-term home.
“We cannot thank our foster carers enough for everything they do for our dogs.
“Now we need to find permanent homes for Bob and Merle and are keen to hear from anyone who is looking for loving and loyal canine companions. Both boys have so much love to give.”
Anyone who has an interest in embracing Bob or Merle can do so through the Dogs Trust Website.
