Weāre delighted to finally introduce you to this adorable little dudeš„°š Benny has been in our care for a few months, and we feel that heās finally ready to find his forever home ā please spread the word about him!ššš
Benny is a teeny-tiny little Border Collie whoās only about a year old. The poor fella had basically been feral for months before we found him. Although he was absolutely terrified, this sweet boy was longing for human company, which made it surprisingly easy for our volunteer to catch him.
His confidence has been slowly growing over the last few months, and his super-sweet nature is starting to shine through. Our trainer has been doing excellent work with him, and heās quite the clever boy! š¤©š§
Benny really thrives on the company of other dogs, so we certainly need to find him a home where heāll have a canine companion or two (or more!)š¶š¶ Heāll likely be nervous for the first few weeks in his forever home, so weāre also looking for a home with a secure gardenš”
We think that he would get spooked easily by young children, so weāre either looking for a child-free home or a home with kids over 8. While Benny hasnāt met cats yet, his adopter thinks heād be totally fine with dog-savvy feline friendsš±š
Adopting a dog like Benny is the most rewarding thing in the world ā watching them relax and start to enjoy life is nothing short of wonderful. And that first cuddle will be absolute blissš„¹š If you live in Ireland and would love to offer Benny the patience, love and stability he needs, please fill out the form below:

Great newsš„³š Rory, our adorable whippet, has been adopted, and heās loving life with his forever family in County Limerick! š”š
Weāre absolutely delighted for this little dude, who was found straying with no collar, no chip, and nobody looking for himš Thankfully, his story has a very happy ending!
Huge thanks to Emilyās family for opening their hearts and home to Rory, to his wonderful fosterer for minding him so well, and to everyone who shared his post and helped get this gorgeous boy seenš
And if youād love to have a sighthound sweetheart in your life, please see our recent posts about Molly, Rayna, Rondo and Mack!š
Dang... We home-checked a lovely applicant for Molly, and they were due to adopt this gentle beauty this weekend. Sadly, theyāve had a change of heart before they got the chance to meet herš With Mollyās foster dad going away very soon, we really need to find her forever home quickly, or someone willing to foster her for a week or so. Please help us spread the word about this gorgeous girlšš„°
Molly is one of those special dogs who just makes a home feel calmer. Thereās something incredibly peaceful about this beautiful 3-year-old Saluki-Lurcher, and her foster dad says she is an absolute joy to have around. Sheās affectionate, cuddly and wonderfully relaxed, with the most gentle natureš
Sheās fantastic with other dogs and is friendly with everyone she meets. Sheās also wonderful with children, and is just such an easy-going, soothing presence to have aroundš„° Itās really hard to imagine how anyone could abandon such a saintly beingš
Molly enjoys her walks and is a lovely girl on the lead, but sheās equally happy lounging around the house and keeping her foster dad company. She travels well in the car and is almost fully house-trained too. She hasnāt met any cats yet, so for now weāre looking for a cat-free homeš”š
If youāre anywhere in Ireland and looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who would love nothing more than relaxing walks, cosy cuddles and quiet company, Molly could be your girlš Please fill out the form below:

And if youāre based in Clare or a neighbouring county and can help us out by fostering Molly for a week or two, please get in touchš”š
Youād never guess the hardship Rayna has been through from the joyful, affectionate girl she is todayš„° This sweet lurcher has such a happy nature, and weād love to help her find the family who will cherish her. Please give her a little share and help us get her story in front of the right personšš¾š
Rayna is about 2 years old, and when she was found straying near Galway, she was terribly thin and had sores all over her bodyš Thankfully, those days are behind her now, and this lovely girl has blossomed into the happiest little soul in foster careš
Her foster mam says Rayna is incredibly friendly, sweet and affectionate. She absolutely adores attention and would happily spend her day getting rubs and cuddles! Sheās also wonderful with children and has that lovely gentle, easy-going nature we adore in our lurchersš
Rayna gets on really well with the terriers in her foster home and loves having a good play with them in the garden, so sheād be very happy to live with a doggie friend. She could also live as an only dog, as long as she has human company for most of the dayš”š
Rayna likes to chase the one of the less confident cats in her foster home, so she needs a cat-free home, or possibly a home with very dog-savvy cats.
Sheās such a pleasure out on her walks! Rayna loves getting out and about and is already enjoying off-lead strolls along the country lanes near her foster home. She stays close to her foster mam and isnāt interested in wandering off, and she takes no notice of the cows and sheep along the way š
After the terrible start Rayna had in life, she deserves nothing less than a wonderful home where sheāll be totally adored! If you live anywhere in Ireland and would like to offer Rayna the loving home she deserves, please fill out the form below:

This beautiful 7-year-old Staffy has found himself in a desperate situation, and we really want to help him. Can you give Rua a share to help him get seen? šš
Ruaās family have two babies and a young child, AND their house is undergoing major renovations. As such, they havenāt been giving Rua the time, walks and attention he needs, and he has been finding his own ways to stay entertainedš
Rua is now escaping almost daily, sometimes running miles along country roads and into fields. Heās even been chasing the neighboursā calves ā not aggressively, but because heās just so bored and wants to play. His family know that things canāt continue like this, and they are at breaking pointš¢ They have tried several different rescues before coming to us, but nobody has been able to take him. We donāt have suitable foster space for him either, but weād love to help find him a new home if we canš¤
One of our volunteers assessed Rua a few days ago, and heās SUCH a lovely boy. She said āI got cuddles and kisses ā he is pure lovable!ā Rua is affectionate, placid, and loves nothing more than a fuss, a game of fetch, and a good cuddle. Heās excellent with kids, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all his basic commandsš„°
Sadly, Rua is reactive to dogs and cats, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. He ideally needs a rural home where he wonāt constantly encounter other dogs, and an experienced owner who is strong enough to manage him on the lead and understands Staffies or other bully breeds. We know the right home for Rua is going to be a very specific one. But it has to be out there somewhere!!
