Are you right for Pablo?
Meet the handsome Pablo!
Pablo is a lovable, affectionate young Dobermann with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This clever, goofy boy loves his toys, treats, cuddles and spending time with his favourite people. He enjoys learning and playing, and would thrive with a family who can continue his training, keep his mind busy and build a strong bond with him.
Pablo is looking for an experienced owner who understands larger breeds who is confident handling strong dogs and can help him navigate situations he finds challenging. He needs a quiet, rural or peaceful home, away from busy areas, other animals and unfamiliar people, where he can feel safe and settled. Pablo must be the only pet in the home, he can live in an adult-only home or potentially with older dog savvy teens after assessment.
Pablo barks and lunges at other dogs but enjoys working through training plans with his handlers. His ideal person will be comfortable managing his needs, continuing his training and driving him to quieter walking spots where he can enjoy his adventure. He needs to wear a muzzle when out and about, but the great news is that he is confident and happy wearing it!
A fully secure garden with fencing at least six feet high is essential, as is a home where someone is around for much of the day, particularly while he settles in and gradually learns to feel comfortable being left alone.
Is Pablo right for you?
Pablo has had a difficult start and has spent most of his life in kennels, we are so excited to help him start his new chapter. With the right environment, understanding and commitment, Pablo has so much potential to be a wonderful companion. He's a big, silly, loving boy who deserves someone willing to see the best in him, help him through the things he finds difficult and give him the safe, happy life he deserves.
Any adopter of Pablo will be fully supported by Training Team here at Ballymena with 1-1 sessions training sessions, multiple meets and home trials. If you feel like you are an experienced home who is willing to give Pablo the time, commitment and love he deserves, just fill in and application and don't forget to 'Favourite' him.

How our rehoming process works
- 1
Create an account and fill out our application form
In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for you.

We’ll review your application
We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready.

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
