Dogs Trust received 235 requests to return a pet after Christmas this year.
That adds up to about six requests a day for the month following the festivities.
While it's a 36% reduction on previous years, but the charity says it's still concerning.
The Centre have specialist facilities for pregnant dogs.
Banana, a heavily pregnant Lurcher arrived the Rehoming Centre in Finglas just before she gave birth.
She had nine puppies and they are adorable.
Karla Dunne, Head of Operations, says they have a Mutt-ernity wing for pregnant dogs to have their puppies.
"We are seeing a lot of vulnerable dogs coming through our doors, which is so incredibly heart-breaking as many of the dogs we have taken in have been pregnant. Thankfully we have a purpose built ‘Mutt-ernity Wing’ to care for pregnant dogs and give them a safe space to give birth."
