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:

Sadly, Peggy had zero interest after her first two posts here💔😔 It’s such a shame, as she’s such a fabulous, friendly, cuddly girl. Can you all help Peggy today and give her a big share to help find her forever home? 🙏🙏🙏

Peggy is a big lovable Staffy-cross who absolutely adores her people. She’s affectionate, playful and full of personality, and she’ll happily soak up all the fuss and attention going🥰💕

She’s around 3 or 4 years old and is doing really well in her foster home. She has a doggy friend there and the two of them have become great pals, so we think she’d enjoy having another playful dog around. That said, she could also be very happy as your only dog, getting all the cuddles to herself😆

Peggy is good with children, although she’s a strong, lively girl, so we think older children aged 12+ would be the best fit. She’s not suitable for a home with cats, but she has been absolutely fine around livestock while out walking, so a rural home would be no problem for her🐑🐄

She’s a clever girl and is almost fully house-trained now. Her lead manners still need a bit of work, so her new person will need to be strong enough to handle her while she continues her leash training. She’ll also need a secure, enclosed garden – Peggy is an adventurous gal😆

Peggy has so much love and fun to bring to her forever home, and we can’t wait to see her in a loving family of her own🏡💕 If you live in Ireland and think Peggy could be your girl, please fill out our adoption form below:
