Contact the rescueAbout Rocco
Rocco is a beautiful, friendly lurcher who absolutely loves his people and has a wonderful way of lighting up everyones day when they are around. He has a naturally loving nature and enjoys his walks, especially when he can use his nose, explore his surroundings and take in all the interesting smells. Rocco is happy to greet people while out and about, although he can sometimes become very excited and jumpy. With continued training, patience and plenty of positive reinforcement, he will need someone who can help him learn how to politely say hello and manage those big feelings, so he can continue to enjoy all the affection he deserves. He is a clever, energetic boy who loves his training sessions (and food!) and is always keen to learn something new. He travels brilliantly in the car and loves the opportunity to have a good run around and stretch his long legs. Rocco is also friendly with other dogs, but his excitement can sometimes make him a little full-on. He will need canine friends who are comfortable with his high-energy personality, alongside a family who can continue helping him learn how to manage his excitement and interact appropriately with other dogs. As with any new home, Rocco will need time, patience and understanding while he settles in and gets to know his new family and surroundings. Rocco could share his home with other dogs and could live with older children who wont be intimidated by his size. His adopters will need to be prepared to continue his training and give him the time and consistency he needs to build confidence, learn new routines and truly settle into family life. In return, they will have a loving, fun and wonderfully enthusiastic companion by their side.

How to adopt from Dogs Trust (ROI)
Apply to adopt online for the dog you're interested in; Dogs Trust contacts you to arrange meeting the dog. Dublin dogs are at the Finglas rehoming centre; dogs elsewhere are in foster care and can't be visited at a centre.
Adoption fees
Our adoption fee is €275 for adult dogs and this fee helps us to cover the costs of caring for over 1,500 dogs every year. Our fee for adopting a puppy under 6 months is €325. This includes the €275 rehoming fee and a reduced €50 online Dog School fee. Our Dog School classes help puppies learn key life skills and teach owners the basic training skills they need to create a strong bond with their new dog. Every dog adopted from Dogs Trust is microchipped, vaccinated and vet checked. If your new dog is not already neutered at the time of adoption, you will go home with a voucher of €150 towards the cost of neutering a male or €200 towards the cost of spaying a female dog at a local veterinary practice. You will also receive a starter bag of food, a collar and lead. Once they're at home, you'll be able to access advice from the centre team if you need to.
