You’d never guess the hardship Rayna has been through from the joyful, affectionate girl she is today🥰 This sweet lurcher has such a happy nature, and we’d love to help her find the family who will cherish her. Please give her a little share and help us get her story in front of the right person🙏🐾🙏
Rayna is about 2 years old, and when she was found straying near Galway, she was terribly thin and had sores all over her body💔 Thankfully, those days are behind her now, and this lovely girl has blossomed into the happiest little soul in foster care😍
Her foster mam says Rayna is incredibly friendly, sweet and affectionate. She absolutely adores attention and would happily spend her day getting rubs and cuddles! She’s also wonderful with children and has that lovely gentle, easy-going nature we adore in our lurchers💕
Rayna gets on really well with the terriers in her foster home and loves having a good play with them in the garden, so she’d be very happy to live with a doggie friend. She could also live as an only dog, as long as she has human company for most of the day🏡💕
Rayna likes to chase the one of the less confident cats in her foster home, so she needs a cat-free home, or possibly a home with very dog-savvy cats.
She’s such a pleasure out on her walks! Rayna loves getting out and about and is already enjoying off-lead strolls along the country lanes near her foster home. She stays close to her foster mam and isn’t interested in wandering off, and she takes no notice of the cows and sheep along the way 😇
After the terrible start Rayna had in life, she deserves nothing less than a wonderful home where she’ll be totally adored! If you live anywhere in Ireland and would like to offer Rayna the loving home she deserves, please fill out the form below:

This beautiful 7-year-old Staffy has found himself in a desperate situation, and we really want to help him. Can you give Rua a share to help him get seen? 🙏🙏
Rua’s family have two babies and a young child, AND their house is undergoing major renovations. As such, they haven’t been giving Rua the time, walks and attention he needs, and he has been finding his own ways to stay entertained😔
Rua is now escaping almost daily, sometimes running miles along country roads and into fields. He’s even been chasing the neighbours’ calves – not aggressively, but because he’s just so bored and wants to play. His family know that things can’t continue like this, and they are at breaking point😢 They have tried several different rescues before coming to us, but nobody has been able to take him. We don’t have suitable foster space for him either, but we’d love to help find him a new home if we can🤞
One of our volunteers assessed Rua a few days ago, and he’s SUCH a lovely boy. She said “I got cuddles and kisses – he is pure lovable!” Rua is affectionate, placid, and loves nothing more than a fuss, a game of fetch, and a good cuddle. He’s excellent with kids, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all his basic commands🥰
Sadly, Rua is reactive to dogs and cats, so he needs to be the only pet in the home. He ideally needs a rural home where he won’t constantly encounter other dogs, and an experienced owner who is strong enough to manage him on the lead and understands Staffies or other bully breeds. We know the right home for Rua is going to be a very specific one. But it has to be out there somewhere!!

Update: Saoirse is reserved now.
Awww, poor little Saoirse thought she had found a loving family, but sadly they pulled out before meeting her😓 Can you give Saoirse a share to help her find her forever home? 🙏😻
This gorgeous little kitty is full of playfulness and loves a good cuddle. She’s doing fantastically in foster care, and she’s more than ready to find a family of her own💞
Saoirse gets along well with other cats, so can happily live with another feline friend or two. Since she’s still a teeny kit, she would love a home where any kids are gentle and over the age of six.
If you live in Ireland and would love to have our adorable little Saoirse in your life, please fill out the form below:

We had really hoped we would be sharing Mack’s happy adoption news this week, but sadly, he has just been returned to our care💔😭 We are totally heartbroken for this gentle soul... Please show Mack some love today – give him a share and tell him to hang in there. Let’s hope his forever person spots him today!!🤞🤞
Due to his adopters’ work commitments, there were a few times that Mack needed to be left on his own for up to about 5 hours in the first two weeks. Sadly, that was too long for this sensitive lad to be alone while he was still settling, and he was getting stressed out and knocking things off the counter tops💔
For the first three weeks in his forever home while he settles, Mack will need to have human company most of the time and not be left alone for more than a couple of hours. His adopter may also need to let him sleep in their bedroom for the first week or two. Mack has been abandoned before, and he’s afraid it will happen to him again, so he really needs an adopter who understands him🥹💞
Mack is a lovely Lurcher boy of around 3 years old, and he is quite simply one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet🥰 He’s incredibly affectionate, gentle, super-friendly, and absolutely loves a good cuddle. His fosterer describes him as “SUPER cuddly” and “the best dog EVER” – and it’s the truth💯
Mack’s gentle nature means that he’s lovely with children, so he would make a wonderful family dog. He’s also fantastic will all the dogs he meets, and is happily in foster with several dogs right now. He hasn’t met any cats, so to play it safe he’ll need a cat-free home. This affectionate, gentle boy has so much love to give and will make a wonderful companion for the lucky person or family who takes him home🏡
