About the Ballymena (Northern Ireland) centre

Welcome to Dogs Trust Ballymena! We're a happy, friendly team and would love you to come and visit us at the centre to see our fantastic facilities and all the waggy tails of our doggy guests.

Dog waiting to be adopted

We can care for up to 50 dogs at any one time and our facilities include a training barn, wonderful woodland walks and a big field to run around. Our rehoming staff have lots of experience in helping match dogs to their forever families and are always happy to answer any questions you may have about the rehoming process.
