About Nick

Nick is a young Collie with a gentle with a sensitive soul. He has spent the majority of his life in kennels, and while the world can sometimes feel like a big and overwhelming place for him, those who have taken the time to truly get to know Nick will tell you there is no dog more loving, cuddly, playful or affectionate. Nick isn't the type of dog who will run straight up to a new person. He needs time to get to know you and feel safe, and all the new sights, sounds and smells of unfamiliar places can be a lot for this sensitive boy. But given the time and patience to take things at his own pace, Nick blossoms into an incredibly loving companion. His carers have built strong bonds with him by allowing him to set the pace, and the rewards have been amazing. Once Nick trusts you, he absolutely adores his people. In fact, his favourite place in the world is likely to be curled up beside you on the sofa, enjoying as many cuddles as he can get! Nick also has a wonderfully playful side. He adores toys of all kinds and particularly loves a good game of tug-of-war. He's a big fan of tasty treats and enjoys learning new tricks, making positive, reward-based training a lovely way for him and his new family to build their relationship. Nick enjoys spending time with other dogs and is good at adapting to different play styles. He could potentially live with another dog who will enjoy lots of play time and help Nick feel more secure as he adjusts to life in a home. For Nick, the key to a happy future is slow and steady. He is looking for someone who understands that building a relationship takes time and who will be patient while he learns that the world isn't such a scary place. A quiet home in a peaceful area, without lots of visitors or busy activity, would

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.
