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.

Amazing news!! Moana and Rocky, our gorgeous bonded pair, have been adopted TOGETHER🎉💕🎉They’ve been having a brilliant time so far with Kelly-Anne’s family in County Meath, and it sounds like they’ve settled in better than we could have hoped️. Just a few days after adopting them, Kelly-Anne sent us this lovely update:“Little update on the dogs, they have settled in remarkably well. They’ve changed from skittish and nervous to complete pups. Playing with toys, chasing each other and collapsing in exhaustion. They are loving their walks and are very easy to manage out and about. Moana has been renamed, Mona, although I think Princess Mona might be her full title. She has proper chihuahua energy and decided Saturday afternoon we were her people and is full of love. She’s completely dropped her guard and wants all the pets. We are so delighted with our new family additions!”Huge thanks to Kelly-Anne and her family for adopting this gorgeous pair and giving them such a happy home🏡🥰And a massive thank you to our wonderful fosterers for taking such great care of Rocky and Moana while they waited for their forever home. Finally, thank you so much to everyone who shared their posts and helped us find a home where they could stay together🥰🙏
Say hello to our newest gal, Vanta🥰🖤 This gorgeous 4-year-old Black Lab is absolutely full of love and can’t wait to find a family of her own. Can you give her a share to help her on her way?🙏🏡Vanta came into our care from Clare Dog Shelter earlier this week and has settled into her foster home like an absolute dream! Like most Labradors, she’s super friendly, cuddly, and loves nothing more than being close to her people🥰🐶She doesn’t seem to show much interest in the other dogs in her foster home – she’s definitely all about the humans! That said, she’s very happily and peacefully co-existing with them, so she won’t mind at all if there are other dogs in her forever home. They’ll just have to be happy with the fact that Vanta might never be interested in playing with them😆She’s also living with cats in her foster home, so she could potentially live with dog-savvy cats who are confident enough to show her who’s boss! 😼Vanta would love an adopter who can help her gradually lose some weight and build up her fitness with longer walks over time. The poor gal isn’t very fit at the moment, so she’ll need to take things slowly to begin with. She’ll also ideally need a secure garden, as she has a bit of a tendency to roam. In fact, this was the reason she was surrendered by her previous family to the dog shelter – she would follow strangers when they were out walking and would frequently go missing. The poor gal was likely pretty lonely being left in the garden alone💔Vanta is such a lovely, affectionate girl and we’d absolutely love to see her find a family who will keep her safe and give her all the love she deserves🥰🏡 If you live in Ireland and would love to offer Vanta the second chance she so deserves, please fill out our adoption form below:service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=caw&method=online_form_html&formid=41

Wonderful news🥳🎉 Our handsome Staffy boy Harlo found his forever home two weeks ago, and he’s a new man! He’s absolutely loving life in beautiful coastal Connemara🌊🐾Just look at how besotted he is with his new best pal, Floki🥹 This gorgeous pair have been having so much fun together since Harlo arrived!A huge thank you to Kevin and Floki for welcoming Harlo into their family, and a massive thank you to everyone who shared Harlo’s (many!) posts and helped him get noticed🙏It can take us a little longer to find forever homes for Staffies and other bullbreeds, so we’re absolutely delighted to have found such a 5-star home for Harlo. He really deserves it!🥰🐾
