Peggy is feeling a bit sad because nobody wants to adopt her😭, so she’s hoping you can cheer her up today💕 We thought it would be lovely if you could share some photos of your own rescue doggos. It’ll show Peggy all the happy endings out there, and give her a little hope that her loving family is out there somewhere too🥰
So please drop your pics below, tell Peggy to hang in there, AND give this gorgeous girl a big collective share! All these things will really help her to get seen this week🤞🏡💕
Peggy is a big, lovable 3-year-old Staffy-cross with a HUGE personality. She absolutely adores her people and is such an affectionate, playful girl who loves nothing more than getting plenty of fuss and attention🥰💕 Peggy gets along great with the dog in her foster home, so she would be happy to have a doggie friend in her forever home. She would also be very happy as your one-and-only, of course – just think of all those cuddles she’d have to herself! 😆
Peggy is good with children, although she’s a big, lively girl, so we think older children aged 12+ would be the best match for her. She’s not suitable for a home with cats, but she’s been chilled out around livestock on her walks, so a rural home would be no problem🐑🐄
She’s a clever girl and is now almost fully house-trained. Her lead manners are still a work in progress, so her new person will need to be strong enough to handle her while she continues learning. She’ll also need a secure, enclosed garden, as this adventurous girl would be only too happy to go exploring! 😆
Peggy has so much love, fun and affection to give, and we’d absolutely LOVE to see her finally get the happy ending she deserves🥰🏡💕 If you live in Ireland and think Peggy could be your girl, please fill out our adoption form below:

And don’t forget to show us your pics!🐶📷

These five adorable Collie X Pointer pups are on the lookout for five loving homes – please help us get the word out😍!! For anyone interested in adopting, please don’t ring the CAW phone. Instead, fill out the application form linked at the bottom of this post🙏🙏
These stunning puppies are now 5 weeks old, so they’ll be ready to trot off to their forever families in 3 weeks from now. They’ve been absolutely thriving in foster care since they joined us two weeks ago. They’re healthy, joyful and playful pups who are an absolute DELIGHT to have around🥰
We’ve got four adorable little girls and one beautiful little boy. You’ll see sisters Millie (left) and Sally (right) in the first photo here, and then Daisy is the stunning black-and-white girl in the second pic. The third photo shows Milo🖤, the only boy in his litter, and finally, you’ll see our adorable Coco (female). All outrageously cute, playful, and hilarious😁
Since they’re such young pups, we’ll be looking for either child-free homes or families with gentle children over the age of 6. And because they’re Collie X Pointer, they’ll need active families where they’ll get plenty of adventure, playtime and exercise.
If you live in Ireland and would love to adopt one of these little bundles of fun, please fill out the form below and select your favourite pup from the drop-down list: Millie♀️, Sally♀️, Daisy♀️, Milo♂️, or Coco♀️:

Update: Found
MISSING CAT - ENNIS
This lovely boy has been missing from his home in Ennis since yesterday. He was last seen around the Watery Road and Bishopscourt. Please get in touch if you have seen him🙏🙏
...
We can’t believe it😱!! Yet ANOTHER beautiful, adorable Staffy has been kicked out of the only home he’s ever known, because his breed isn’t allowed in social housing💔💔 Philip is now in Clare Dog Shelter, and we desperately want to get him into a comfy foster home. We have a LOT of dogs coming into our care this week, and we’re already short on foster homes for all of them. Can you please give this sweet little fella a share, in the hope that we can find him a fosterer? 🙏🐾
Sadly, Staffies are on the restricted breeds list, and the local council found out about Philip. His family were forced to surrender their beloved boy, or they would have had to move out of their home. Anyone who has ever lived with a Staffy will know just how friendly, cuddly and affectionate they are. It’s heartbreaking that Philip has lost his home because of his breed💔
Clare Dog Shelter actually had a new family lined up to adopt this gorgeous boy, but sadly they changed their minds and didn’t show up😔
Philip is 3 years old, and the shelter staff say he’s an absolute dote🥰💕 He has been excellent with the other dogs in the shelter, so he can happily go into foster with canine companions. He was also living with children in his previous family, and true to his lovely nature, he was fantastic with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, though, so we’ll need to find him a cat-free home.
Philip is house-trained, great on the lead, neutered, and well used to being part of a loving family. Our hearts are breaking for him to be in this situation now, after losing the family and home he’s always known💔 If you’d love to help Philip and could offer him a safe, comfy place to land for a few weeks while we search for his forever home, please fill out our fostering form below. We’re hoping to find Philip a foster home in Clare or a neighbouring county, but if you think you might like to adopt him after a period of fostering, we can consider homes anywhere in Ireland:

Here’s another poor girl who has been forced to leave her beloved family, simply because of her breed... The local housing authority found out about Nova, and she now needs to find a new home ASAP💔 Can you please give this beautiful girl a share and help us find her a new family? 🙏🙏🙏
Nova is a gorgeous 6-year-old Staffy girl who loves nothing more than lounging around and enjoying a nice, relaxed lifestyle🥰 The only thing she loves more than lounging is her humans! She absolutely adores cuddles, affection and simply hanging out with her favourite people💕
Nova has been living with children and is fantastic with them – she’s such a lovely, gentle girl. However, because of her size and her love of the quiet life, she’s looking for a home with no young children under 10. She also lived happily with two other dogs, so she can have canine companions in her new home🐶🐶 She hasn’t lived with cats, though, so she’ll need a cat-free home.
She’s house-trained, very good on the lead and cool as a cucumber in the car😇
Nova is going to miss her family terribly, so we’re looking for a patient and caring adopter who understands that she may need a little time and space to settle into her new life. She deserves someone who will give her all the love and reassurance she needs while she finds her feet🥹🥰
If you’d love to offer this beautiful couch potato the second chance she deserves, please fill out our adoption form below:
