Trooper is a gentle sweet soul who has not had an easy start in life. When Trooper arrived at Dogs Trust, he had a badly injured leg. After much dedicated care from the vet team, his front leg had to be removed to save his life. Despite this difficult experience, this has not stopped Trooper from being a super affectionate boy, full of love to give. He adores human company and would need someone home often with him to help him continue his recovery and learn how to settle in the home by himself over time. Trooper just wants to cuddle on the couch all day wrapped in blankets and have small gentle walks every now and then. He would be best suited as the only dog in the home and could live with older children who will enjoy his chilled out approach to life.

Now you've decided that you're ready to welcome a new furry friend in your life, it's time to meet the dogs available for adoption.

You can search for a dog based on your location and lifestyle. We have dogs available for adoption across the whole of Ireland. While some dogs are based at our rehoming centre in Dublin, many of our dogs live all over Ireland with foster carers or their current owners until they can find their forever homes. The best way to find out how you can meet them is to fill out an application.

If you are hoping to adopt a puppy, we're happy to discuss this as part of the application process. Please bear in mind that we don’t usually add their rehoming profiles to our website as puppies grow and change in appearance so quickly.

Please bear in mind, if you are looking for a very specific breed, size or temperament, or have a very busy household, it may take longer for us to find your perfect match.

Many of the dogs in our care may have had a difficult start in life, or have specific medical or behavioural needs, and need a quieter household or one with no other pets. We try to match each dog with a family where we think they will have the best chance of success.
