HOW YOU CAN HELP
Fosterers assess dogs for us, help them after surgery (spaying and neutering usually) and socialize and train the dogs.
This is usually temporary and can last for a few days to months. Fosterers can adopt, although keeping a healthy number of fosterers is imperative for us.
Adoption is similar to fostering as regards caring for the animal. However, adoption is a permanent arrangement.
We are a non-profit, charity organisation registered in Ireland. Please support us by contributing. Your contributions help to ensure we continue to re-home unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned dogs.
Please donate here.
We help members of the public paying vet bills as we want to encourage spaying and neutering for those who cannot afford it. Please fill out your application here.

Dawww, look at this lil’ cutie-pie! Please give Sammy a share to help find his forever family 🥰🐾Sammy is a tiny 6-month-old Whippet who was found straying, with no collar, no chip and nobody looking for him💔😔 Thankfully, he’s settled into his foster home like a dream, and his foster mammy has nothing but praise for this adorable little lad😍Sammy is super-friendly, sweet-natured and affectionate, and he’s having an absolute ball with resident dog Buddy. The two of them LOVE playing together, tearing around the garden doing zoomies, playing tug-of-war and generally having a great time! 🐶🥰Having seen how much Sammy gets from having a canine pal around, we feel that living with another friendly dog or two is essential for him. Sammy also ADORES people and doesn’t like being without human company for too long, so he’ll need a home where he won’t be left on his own for long stretches. He’s such a fun and affectionate little character, and whoever is lucky enough to adopt him with get plenty of laughs and cuddles in equal measure🥰He’s a bit frightened of the neighbourhood cat who sometimes wanders into the garden, and will usually make a quick dash back into the house when she appears😹 So we don’t think a home with cats would be a good fit for him.Sammy is now house-trained, very mannerly on the lead and a superstar passenger in the car. He loves getting out and about for his daily walkies, followed by a long relaxing snooze on the couch (often on his back, with limbs sprawled!)If you live in Ireland and have a friendly dog who would love a playful little Whippet pal, we’d love to hear from you!

Just LOOK at this gorgeous, gentle, affectionate girl😍🐾 Our delightful Diana is looking for a family of her own – please give her a share so that we can find them🙏Diana is around 7 years old and is a beautiful Deerhound X Lurcher. She had a very difficult past, spending much of her time chained up outside, and when she first came into our care 2 months ago she was understandably timid and unsure of the world💔Thankfully, Diana has the most wonderful foster family, along with the support of our amazing trainer, and she has come such a long way. She’s gaining confidence all the time and is really blossoming into the sweetest girl🥰She’s incredibly gentle, loyal and affectionate, although she can still be a little shy when meeting new people. Give her a bit of time to get to know you, though, and you’ll discover a very cuddly girl who loves nothing more than being close to you💕Diana loves other dogs and would ideally have a friendly doggy companion or two in her new home. She can chase cats though, so she’ll need a cat-free home. She’s also lovely and gentle with children, but as she enjoys a peaceful life, a home without kids under 8 would suit her best. She may be a little nervous when she first arrives in her forever home, so she’ll need a secure garden where she can take her time settling in and finding her feet🏡💕True to her breed mix, Diana is a very low-energy lady! She’s quite content to spend her days relaxing, lounging around and enjoying all the home comforts she missed out on for so long😴🛋️If you live in Ireland and would love to offer Diana the loving home she deserves, please fill out our adoption form below:service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=caw&method=online_form_html&formid=41
Sammy REALLY loves playing with Buddy, and we’d really love to find him a forever home where he’ll have a friendly young dog to play with. Can you give Sammy a share to help us find his perfect family? 🙏🥰🐾Sammy is a gorgeous little Whippet pup, about 6 months old, and he’s such a friendly, sweet-natured and affectionate little lad. He’s a tiny little fella: his foster brother Buddy is a terrier mix, so that’ll give you an ideal of his size. He and Buddy have become great pals, and Sammy absolutely loves running around the garden with him, playing with toys and getting up to all sorts of mischief! 🤩 He also bonds strongly with his people, and adores affection and cuddles, so we’re looking for a home where he’ll have plenty of human company too🏡💕Sammy is a bit frightened of the neighbourhood cat who sometimes wanders into the garden. In fact, when she appears, he usually makes a quick dash back into the house😹 So we don’t think he’d be happy living with cats.He’s doing brilliantly in foster and is now house-trained, very polite on the lead, and a great passenger in the car. He’s also a great little character who will do his best to persuade you that he really does need just one more treat! 😇Poor Sammy was found straying last week with no collar, no microchip and nobody looking for him💔 So we now want to make sure that his future is filled with love, comfort and joy. If you live in Ireland and would love to give this gorgeous little lad a home, please fill out our adoption form below🙏🐾service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=caw&method=online_form_html&formid=41
We’re delighted to introduce you to our stunning Diana🤩! This gentle girl has been with us for two months, and she’s now ready to find her forever home – please spread the word! 🙏🐾🙏Diana is about 7 years old, and a beautiful scruffy Deerhound–Lurcher. The poor girl had spent much of her life chained up outside, so she was quite timid and under-socialised when she first came into our care💔 Thanks to plenty of love and TLC from her wonderful foster parents, along with the help of our amazing trainer, Diana has grown so much in confidence and is really blossoming🌸This lovely girl is so gentle, loyal and affectionate. She can still be shy when meeting new people, but she’s incredibly cuddly once she knows she can trust you🥰💕Diana is fantastic with other dogs, and would ideally love a friendly doggy companion or two in her forever home to help her confidence continue to grow. She has been known to chase cats, so we’re looking for a cat-free home. Her gentle, calm nature makes her great with children, but since she enjoys the quiet life, a home with no young kids under 8 would suit her best.Thanks to her sighthound ancestry, she’s a low-energy gal who loves lounging around and enjoying her home comforts😴🛋️ After the hard life she’s had, Diana would love a peaceful home where she’ll only know comfort, care and love😇🏡 Because she will likely be a little nervous for the first few days in her forever home, she’ll need a secure garden where she can safely settle in and find her feet. If you live in Ireland and would love to be the one to give Diana the loving home she so deserves, please fill out our adoption form below:service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=caw&method=online_form_html&formid=41
Beautiful Milo is sadly looking for a new family, through no fault of his own. His person is being forced to leave her home and is really struggling to find another rental that allows pets😢💔 She is absolutely heartbroken, but has been left with no choice but to surrender her beloved companion. Please give Milo a share to help us find him a new loving home🙏🐾Milo is a shy boy who’s around 3 years old. Because he can be a little timid, he needs someone patient who will give him plenty of time and space to settle in🥰 Once he feels comfortable, he’s a very sweet and affectionate boy who has lots of love to give🏡💕He doesn’t really like being petted, but absolutely loves getting kisses on his head! 😽Milo seems happiest as the only cat and hasn’t lived with dogs, so a quiet pet-free home where he can feel safe and secure would suit him best. If you live in Ireland and can offer Milo the second chance he so deserves, please send us a message here🙏🐾
