Three weeks ago today, 31st August, my husband and I together with our two dogs met Tilly and brought her home to Sussex. For us, it was a 40 hour round trip, for Tilly it was 20 hours and she took it in her stride. Tilly travelled in the passenger seat of the car next to my husband, we caught the 10.30 pm ferry from Belfast arriving back in Sussex at lunchtime the following day.The staff at Dogs Trust Ballymena are exceptional. From the first phone conversation with me, to meeting us and agreeing that we could adopt Tilly. Tilly is a former breeder dog, so has not have the best of starts to life. She was very poorly when Dogs Trust took her in, however, with the care she received from the staff and vets Tilly's health improved. Sarah, at DTB fostered Tilly with her mum and they have done an amazing job of starting the rehabilitation of Tilly. We are now continuing the process. Slowly but surely Tilly is beginning to come out of herself. She gaining confidence. It is wonderful to see her blossoming as she is settling down. We just adore her and are so pleased that she is with us in her forever home.Tilly is the third dog that we have adopted from Dogs Trust. On each occasion the staff have been very helpful and the process straight forward - on this occasion we travelled to the Ballymena site to collect Tilly. The after adoption help was have received has been amazing, the follow-up calls to check that all is well. I really cannot fault Dogs Trust and would most certainly adopt from them again.
