Dublin Dog Hub provides shelter and rehoming services across Dublin and the surrounding areas. We work with Dublin City Council and run a private rescue in parallel.
We are under contract to Dublin City Council's Animal Welfare Unit to provide safe, secure and comfortable accommodation to stray, seized or unwanted dogs. We strive to reunite lost dogs with their owners and to find new homes for dogs who need them.
Need to surrender a dog? Contact DCC Animal Welfare directly on 01 222 3368 / 01 222 5441 or 01 222 6060 (out of hours).
Founded by Linda Martin in February 2024, our private rescue works alongside the DCC contract. Every dog receives the same care and attention, and we work hard to rehabilitate where needed and find these dogs their forever home.
All visits are strictly by appointment only so we can keep the environment quiet, safe and restful for our dogs.
All adoptions are subject to a meet and a home check. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.

Staffy/Pitbull ยท Male ยท Blue/grey
โจ Introducing Mr Smiley himself .. ๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐พ He is a 3 year old, neutered staffy x, who was surrendered into our care through no fault of his own ๐ซถ๐ฝ
Atlas is the smiliest boy with the waggiest tail โฆ he doesnโt understand why his life has been turned upside down, but weโre doing our best to make him feel right at home ๐๐ฝ Heโs a friendly chap who is great with people , he just loves being told what a good boy he is ๐
Atlas loves to play & adores his walks โฆ sniffing the grass & seeing the world go by ! Weโve been told heโs also rather fond of little drives in the car too โบ๏ธ He can be a little strong to walk , but soon settles down , which you would expect for his kind of size. Heโs got a gentle demeanour to him, has basic manners & doesnโt snap treats from your handโฆ however he can be a little excitable & jumpy at times. His previous owners suggest owing to this, he is best re-homed as an only dog & with children > the age of 12. We have no information of his exposure to cats.
Atlas really is a beautiful boy who had done no wrong & he has been a joy to have in our care. Like the rest of our dogs, he deserves a fresh start .. and a loving, playful forever home who will fall in love with him & treat him like the king he is ๐ ๐ ๐พ

Bullbreed ยท Male ยท White and brown
๐พ MEET BALOO ๐พ
This gorgeous 2-year-old American Staffy is looking for his forever home! Baloo was surrendered through no fault of his own โ his family found he'd simply grown bigger than they expected. He's a big, bouncy, affectionate boy who just wants to make friends with everyone he meets.
Baloo is still young and full of energy, and with the right guidance he's going to blossom into an amazing companion. He'd do best with an adopter who has experience with the breed and can help him with his manners โ a bit of consistent lead training and general obedience work will go a long way for this fella.
He's got a heart of gold and so much love to give โ he just needs someone patient enough to bring out the best in him. Could that be you?
๐ฉ DM us to find out more about Baloo and how to meet him!
