Dogs Trust Litter Looking For Some Puppy Love
The cuties were brought to the centre a couple of weeks ago having been handed over as part of an unwanted litter.
The pups - three boys and five girls – called Rooney, Colleen, Posh, Becks, Dawson, Anna, Hesky and Chantelle - are just seven weeks old.

Dogs Trust Ballymena Centre Manager Mary Carney says: "These puppies really are a bundle of joy and our team are dedicating every spare minute to caring for them. "We usually look to rehome pups when they're eight weeks old so these little lovelies are pretty much ready to find their forever families.
"Visitors are welcome to come along to the centre between 12pm and 4m every day except Friday to meet our fabulous dogs".
Although staff at Dogs Trust Ballymena absolutely love having pups at the centre, the charity would like to urge people to get their dogs neutered.

If you think you can offer a lovely new home to one of the pups or to another of Dogs Trust Ballymena's canine residents, please get in touch on 028 2565 2977.
