![Conor O’Kane, Manager at Dogs Trust Ballymena said: “Many of our dogs adapt very quickly to kennel life. However, there are others who don’t settle especially dogs that have never been in a kennel before or who suffer from separation anxiety."We are lucky to have wonderful foster carers and often these dogs are better suited to a foster home and with others we welcome them into our offices during the day.“Phoebe loved company and so became vocal when left alone, whereas in the office she would play with toys, nap in bed, and lap up all the attention. "She was much happier with this routine so when she returned to her kennel at the end of the day, she was so tired she was ready for bed. "Sillivan also benefitted from being in the office with staff where he received endless cuddles, we could help with his house training, and it was fantastic for his socialisation."It is something we will continue doing when it helps our wonderful dogs prepare for their new lives in forever homes.”](https://www.newsletter.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOmMwOGYzZTcyLWZkOTgtNDllMy04ZmY4LTYwNmI0Mjg5MGMyZDpjMDRjNTg5Zi0xMmM2LTQ0OGYtYmZjMi1iMjRhOTE4ZjFhMzA=.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=640)
