Meet Icecream, a gentle little dog who is looking for a very special home with adopters who understand that trust cannot be rushed. The most worried of his group, Icecream has had very little experience of the world around him and is still finding many everyday sights, sounds and interactions overwhelming. Although he is not yet ready to show his true personality, we know that with time, patience and kindness, he has every chance to blossom. Icecream is still worried by handling and will need a calm, quiet adult only home where he can settle at his own pace. His new family will need to be happy to give him the space he needs, allowing him to make the first move when he feels safe and ready. Building a relationship with Icecream will take time, but seeing his confidence grow will be incredibly rewarding. A home with a fully secure garden is essential, giving Icecream a safe place to explore, stretch his legs and begin gaining confidence. He is not yet ready to walk on a lead, so any lead training will need to be introduced gradually and only when he feels comfortable. It is possible that he may always prefer the security of his home environment, and his adopters should be prepared to let him progress at his own pace. Icecream takes great comfort from the company of other dogs and will need to live with a friendly, confident resident dog who can show him that the world is not so frightening after all. Icecream could also be rehomed alongside one of his more confident friends, giving them the opportunity to begin their new lives together. Icecream is looking for a family who will celebrate the little milestones, whether that is taking a treat from a hand, choosing to sit nearby or simply feeling safe enough to relax. Every step forward will be a huge achievement for this special little dog. If you have a peaceful home, a confident canine companion and all the patience in the world, you could help Icecream discover what it truly means to feel safe, loved and at home.

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.
