Dolly the Collie is a sweet older lady who is finding living in kennels quite stressful.
The beautiful black and white pooch has ongoing skin issues which may be related to kennel stress.
Dogs Trust Ireland believes these could be resolved in a loving home environment and will cover any vetinary costs for potential adopters associated with her skin.
Dog lovers, this job at Dogs Trust may well be perfect for you
This gentle dame can be nervous of new people initially but is extremely affectionate once you get to know her.
A good bum or chin scratch will go a long way towards winning her affections!
Dolly also enjoys the company of quiet dogs in the centre and will happily potter around with them on her walks.
She has even shared her kennel with other dogs, though she does prefer to have treats, toys and attention all to herself - who doesn't!
An active girl, she loves a game of tug or fetch with her human friends, and she will even entertain herself by picking up and playing with toys by herself.
However, Dolly also enjoys her comfort and having a cosy bed to curl up in.
Dolly will do best in a relatively quiet, adult only home, where she will be the only pet.
She may take a little time to settle properly, however her adopters will have the full support of our Training and Behaviour team, as required, to help her with the transition.
We do ask that any potential adopters come to meet her at the centre a few times to build up a bond with her before she goes home, and we just know that anyone meeting her will fall in love with her sweet and playful personality!
If you have room in your heart and home for Dolly then please contact Dogs Trust on 01 879 1000.
They are based in Finglas, just off exit 5 on the M50.
