After seven years in a Dublin rescue, good boy Pluto has found his forever home

It comes as Dogs Trust says it has seen a worrying drop in adoptions this year

Dogs Trust Ireland’s long-term resident, Pluto has found his forever home.

In animal rescues across the country, hundreds of dogs are waiting to be adopted, though few were waiting as long as Pluto.

Pluto is a nine-year-old pit bull cross who arrived into Dogs Trust's care in November 2012 when he was just six weeks old. He did find a home at first, but sadly it didn’t work out. When Pluto was returned to the dog welfare charity, he was often overlooked in favour of younger, smaller dogs.
