The team at CAW give their sincere condolences to the family and friends of Frances Murphy. A remarkable woman who dedicated her life to being a voice for those who could not speak for themselves.
For many years, Frances ran her animal rescue with tireless dedication, infinite patience, and a heart large enough to welcome every creature in need.
Because of her devotion, countless animals were given a second chance at life, experiencing love, warmth, and safety for the very first time. She also helped many people in need to care for their animals.

A big welcome to our lovely best boy Ringo Starr🤗🤗
This lovely lurcher is eager to please and a quick learner. He is great to focus and people orientated.
Ringo is almost three years old and a lovely age for adoption. Old enough to chill but young enough to go on adventures and enjoy playing. He has been brought to meet a cat and was fine in the same room but the cat wasn't running away so we are not sure if he would chase. He's probably fine with a confident cat and he's very trainable.
If you are interested in adopting a young friendly dog who is great with people and other dogs Ringo might be the boy for you!
Please fill up the pre adoption form for a chance to meet Ringo Starr!

Bán would make a wonderful little sidekick for someone who loves getting out and about just as much as they love a good cuddle on the couch🥰 Could you help us find the special person who’ll give this lovely girl her chance? 🙏🐾
At around 2–3 years old, Bán is a Terrier cross, with a little Staffy in the mix. She was found straying in a heartbreaking state, but she’s come through a difficult start and has so much love to give💕
This little girl absolutely ADORES people and loves nothing more than being wherever you are. Whether it’s joining you on a walk, tagging along on your adventures or snuggling up beside you at home, Bán just wants to be part of the fun! She’s a lively girl who loves her walks, so she’d be delighted with an active family who can give her plenty of outings and adventures🐾
Bán really thrives on company and can get bored if left on her own for too long, so she’d suit a home where someone is around for much of the day. She’s good with other dogs and loves a bit of playtime, but she’ll need a doggie friend who can keep up with her energy. We don’t think she can live peacefully with cats, so she’s looking for a cat-free home.
There’s so much to love about this little girl, and we’d be over the moon to see her finally get the happy ending she deserves🏡💕 If you think Bán might be the one for you, and you live in Ireland, please fill out this form:

Amazing news🥳🎉!! Peggy, our fabulous Staffy girl, has found herself a wonderful home, right here in County Clare! Here she is with her new sister, Lulu – who was also adopted from us, back in 2024🥰💕
Huge thanks to Eimear’s family for giving Peggy such a wonderful home – we’re thrilled to see her looking so happy and totally loved💕
Massive thanks to our new fosterer, Eamon, for taking such good care of Peggy while she waited for her forever family, and to everyone who shared, liked and commented on Peggy’s (many!) posts, and helped her get seen🙏🙏
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🙏
