Nessa

Nessa, a little 4year old Terrier type was also found as a pregnant stray; she gave birth to her litter only days ago and has instantly taken to motherhood. This little dog has already given so much love to her brood, and will soon be looking for someone to give her all the love and attention she so deserves.

Snoop and Bryn

Snoop (left) a 13year old Collie type came into Dogs Trust’s Merseyside Rehoming Centre with her son, six year old son Bryn (right). These two are incredibly attached, and must be rehomed together – this means double the responsibility, but double reward.

Bea the Beagle

Bea the Beagle was found wandering the streets of Ballymena as a heavily pregnant stray; she recently gave birth to seven delightful puppies. The stress became too much for poor Bea, who fell ill - staff were concerned for the pups and considered hand rearing them. However, Bea, ever the devoted mum looked after them dutifully throughout her illness and made a full recovery.
