To celebrate this year’s ‘Adopt a Rescue Dog Day’ on April 30, Dogs Trust Ireland is holding a drop in ‘Tea & Chats’ event at their rehoming centre in Finglas, from 1pm-8pm.
With over 200 dogs in their care, Dogs Trust looks forward to chatting to members of the public about fostering or adopting a dog, how the process works and answering any questions people may have.
Maciej Trojanowicz, Rehoming Centre Manager at Dogs Trust Ireland explains: “As so many dogs missed out on vital socialisation during the pandemic, we are sadly seeing more dogs with behavioural issues.
“Some of these dogs are quite nervous and will take a while to settle into a home so, we are particularly interested in speaking to adult only families or families with older children.
“These dogs just need second chances in life with people who will love them enough to let them come to them, on their own terms and in their own time.
“This can take weeks and, in some cases, months.
“We know we are asking for a lot but think of how rewarding it would be to help one of these dogs and make them feel safe and happy, especially after everything they have been through.”
So, if you have been thinking about getting a dog, please see DogsTrust.ie/Chats for more information or visit the Rehoming team at Dogs Trust for a chat in person on April 30.
