Say hello to our newest boy, Oscar👋🤩! Another poor, abandoned and neglected lurcher looking for a loving home💔 Can you help us get the word out about this gorgeous chap?🙏🙏
Oscar is somewhere between 1 and 2 years old and still has a silly puppy streak🤪! He absolutely adores people and is such an affectionate, cuddly, sweet-natured boy🥰
Oscar will need plenty of human company in the first few weeks in his forever home while he settles in. He shouldn’t be left alone for more than a couple of hours at a time, as he’s still learning that when his people go out, they really WILL come back! Now that he knows what it feels like to be loved, he can’t get enough of it! 🥹
Like most lurchers, Oscar is a gentle boy who is great with children. He’s also fantastic with other dogs and is happily living in foster with lots of them right now. He’d love a home with another dog of a similar size who he can play with. He hasn’t met any cats, so to be on the safe side, he’ll need a cat-free home.
Thanks to his foster parents, Oscar is now fully house-trained, and travels well in the car too. He’s a fairly standard size for a lurcher, at 22 kilos.
This lovely lad has so much love to give, and we’d love nothing more than to see him find a family who’ll show him that he’s safe, loved and home for good🏡💕 If you live anywhere in Ireland and think Oscar might be the boy for you, please fill out the form below🙏

LOOK at this little cuddle-bug! Bliss mode😇 Can you give our lovely Bán a share and help us find her people?🙏🥰
At 2 or 3 years old, Bán is a Terrier cross, with a bit of Staffy in her mix. She adores people, loves her cuddles and is always happy to tag along on an adventure. She’s an active girl who loves her walks, but she’s just as happy snuggling up beside you at home, or sitting on your lap!
Bán loves company and can get bored if left alone for too long, so she needs a home where someone will be around for much of the day. She’s good with other dogs and would enjoy a playmate who can match her energy, but she would be just as happy as your only dog too. She doesn’t like cats at all, so needs a cat-free home.
After her difficult start, this gorgeous little dote deserves a family of her own. If you live in Ireland and would like to adopt Bán, please fill out our adoption form:

Wonderful news🥳🎉 Many of you will remember Ruby, who was seized when neighbours reported her living in a yard full of rubbish out the back of a house in Clare. The photo on the left was taken by the dog warden when he found her – the poor girl was so neglected and depressed💔
Well, we’re happy to report that we found a wonderful home for Ruby almost straight away, where she’s been getting pampered and absolutely loving life! 🥰
Huge thanks to Liza, Brian and their kids for opening their hearts and home to this beautiful girl, to Ruby’s fosterer who took her in when she was first seized, and all of you who shared her story and helped her find the happy ending she deserves🙏🐾
After the sad life she had until now, we couldn’t be happier to see Ruby surrounded by love🥰
Poor Rua💔 This lovely boy deserves to feel safe, loved and settled, but he’s found himself in a desperate situation. Please help us spread the word so we can find someone who can help him🙏
Rua is a 7-year-old Staffy, and he really is a sweetheart. One of our volunteers spent time with him recently and came away full of praise for him, saying, “I got cuddles and kisses – he is pure lovable!” 🥰 He’s an affectionate, placid boy who loves people, enjoys a good game of fetch and is always happy to have a fuss made of him. He’s also great with children, house-trained, crate-trained and knows all his basic commands.
Sadly, life has become difficult for Rua. His family have two babies and a young child, and he hasn’t been getting the walks, attention and stimulation he needs. He’s started escaping almost daily, sometimes running for miles along country roads and into fields. He’s even been chasing the neighbours’ calves, not out of aggression, but because he’s bored and looking for something to do.
His family have reached breaking point. They’ve already tried several rescues for help, but nobody has been able to take him. Because he’s not good with other dogs, we don’t have a suitable foster space for Rua either, but we’re hoping there’s someone out there who could give this lovely lad the fresh start he needs🤞
Rua does have some specific requirements. He’s reactive to other dogs and cats, so he needs to be the only pet. A rural home, away from regular encounters with other dogs, would suit him best. He also needs an experienced owner who is strong enough to manage him on the lead.
We know this is a very specific home we’re looking for, but Rua has so much love to give. He shouldn’t have to keep struggling in a situation that isn’t right for him, and we’d love to help him find somewhere he can settle, enjoy his walks, have his cuddles and be happy.

Gracie 🩷
Say to to our newest arrival Gracie 💕 This little poppet is only six months old so still a baby but she's doing really well in foster. 👏👏 Miss Gracie is getting on great with the resident dogs though she us full of puppy energy and playfulness🤗🤗
Gracie is a mini-lurcher or a whippet size lurcher. She is only 9kg (a whippet would be around 15kg when fully grown). She would like another playful dog in the home but would be fine on her own with plenty of playtime with her family.
We are looking for a home with kids 7 years of age or older where she wouldn't be left alone too long during the day. She is young enough to be trained to live with cats and would be fine with a dog savvy cat.
Gracie is microchipped, vaccinated and house trained. If you are interested in adopting this gorgeous girl please fill out the attached form.
