Poor Rua💔 This lovely boy deserves to feel safe, loved and settled, but he’s found himself in a desperate situation. Please help us spread the word so we can find someone who can help him🙏
Rua is a 7-year-old Staffy, and he really is a sweetheart. One of our volunteers spent time with him recently and came away full of praise for him, saying, “I got cuddles and kisses – he is pure lovable!” 🥰 He’s an affectionate, placid boy who loves people, enjoys a good game of fetch and is always happy to have a fuss made of him. He’s also great with children, house-trained, crate-trained and knows all his basic commands.
Sadly, life has become difficult for Rua. His family have two babies and a young child, and he hasn’t been getting the walks, attention and stimulation he needs. He’s started escaping almost daily, sometimes running for miles along country roads and into fields. He’s even been chasing the neighbours’ calves, not out of aggression, but because he’s bored and looking for something to do.
His family have reached breaking point. They’ve already tried several rescues for help, but nobody has been able to take him. Because he’s not good with other dogs, we don’t have a suitable foster space for Rua either, but we’re hoping there’s someone out there who could give this lovely lad the fresh start he needs🤞
Rua does have some specific requirements. He’s reactive to other dogs and cats, so he needs to be the only pet. A rural home, away from regular encounters with other dogs, would suit him best. He also needs an experienced owner who is strong enough to manage him on the lead.
We know this is a very specific home we’re looking for, but Rua has so much love to give. He shouldn’t have to keep struggling in a situation that isn’t right for him, and we’d love to help him find somewhere he can settle, enjoy his walks, have his cuddles and be happy.

Gracie 🩷
Say to to our newest arrival Gracie 💕 This little poppet is only six months old so still a baby but she's doing really well in foster. 👏👏 Miss Gracie is getting on great with the resident dogs though she us full of puppy energy and playfulness🤗🤗
Gracie is a mini-lurcher or a whippet size lurcher. She is only 9kg (a whippet would be around 15kg when fully grown). She would like another playful dog in the home but would be fine on her own with plenty of playtime with her family.
We are looking for a home with kids 7 years of age or older where she wouldn't be left alone too long during the day. She is young enough to be trained to live with cats and would be fine with a dog savvy cat.
Gracie is microchipped, vaccinated and house trained. If you are interested in adopting this gorgeous girl please fill out the attached form.

Morris has come SUCH a long way since we rescued him a month ago. He’s more than ready to find his forever family – please help us by getting the word out about this handsome fella! 🙏🏡💕
Our sweet-natured Morris is only about a year old, and a kind person found him straying – skinny and suffering with mange💔💔 Thankfully, he’s now a healthy 22 kilos and his skin has healed up beautifully!
Morris is one of the sweetest boys we’ve ever had the pleasure of minding, and he absolutely ADORES his people. Cuddles and rubs are his favourite things in the whole wide world🥰 Like most lurchers, he loves his home comforts and relaxing!
But there’s definitely a playful side to this handsome lad too! Morris is still a young boy and loves a good game and a proper zoomies session🤩🐾 He’d love a home with a nice-sized garden where he can stretch his legs and have a good run.
He also absolutely loves playing with other dogs and gets along fantastically with all the dogs in his foster home. For that reason, we’d ideally love him to have a canine companion or two, preferably dogs around his own size who will enjoy his playful nature🐶💕
Morris is a gentle, happy boy who is wonderful with children. We haven’t tested him with cats yet, but we’d be very happy to arrange a cat test for the right applicant. He’s house-trained, a joy to walk on the lead, a fantastic passenger in the car, and his recall is already excellent. He really is such a wonderful boy😇
After everything Morris has been through, seeing him now – healthy, happy and full of affection – makes us so happy. All this gorgeous lad needs now is a family of his own to love him for the rest of his life💕If you live anywhere in Ireland and would love to give Morris the loving home he deserves, please fill out the form here:

Bán is still waiting for someone to fall in love with her – so please spread the word about this little cuddle-bug to help her get seen🙏🙏🙏
At about 2 or 3 years old, Bán is a beautiful Patterdale Terrier cross, with some Staffy mixed in (we think!), and she’s such a lovely little character. After being found straying in a heartbreaking state, she’s now safe with us and showing everyone what an absolute dote she is🥰🥰
Bán adores her people and is happiest when she can be involved in whatever is going on. She’ll happily curl up beside you wherever you happen to be, soaking up the cuddles and keeping you company. She can get bored when left on her own for too long, so she’s looking for a family where she won’t be spending much of her time alone.
She’s also a lively little girl who absolutely loves her walks, so an active family who will take her along on plenty of adventures would be right up her street! 🤗🐾
Bán is good with other dogs and loves a good play, although any doggie housemate would need to be able to match her energy. We don’t think she can live with cats, so we’re looking for a cat-free home.
After the difficult start she’s had, we’d love nothing more than to see Bán settled into a happy home where she can enjoy all the love, walks and cuddles she deserves. If you live in Ireland and think Bán could be your girl, please fill out this form:

Awww, this adorable couch potato didn’t get any applications after her first few posts here💔😓 So let’s try again for this gorgeous girl, and please give Rayna a share to help her find her people! 🙏🙏🙏
Rayna is about 2 years old and is one of those lovely, easy-going girls who is happiest just being wherever her humans are. Most of her day is spent lounging on the couch, stretching out on a bed or snoozing in whichever room her foster mam or dad happen to be in. She just loves human company! 🥰💕
She’d love a home where she won’t be left alone for long, and where she can spend her days doing what she does best – relaxing, getting cuddles and enjoying the company of her people.
Like most lurchers, Rayna is also lovely and gentle with children. She gets on really well with the terriers in her foster home too, and loves a good play in the garden with her doggie friends🐶💕 She does need a cat-free home, or a home with very dog-savvy cats, as she likes to chase some of the cats in her foster home.
Rayna is lovely out on her walks too 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😇
If you live anywhere in Ireland and would love to offer Rayna the loving forever home she deserves, please fill out the form below:
