HOW YOU CAN HELP

What is fostering?

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.

Our Adoption Process
Why Donate?

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.

More Information

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.

This is one of those posts we really wish we didn’t have to write💔💔 Our adorable Rex had found himself a lovely home, but sadly, after a few months, he’s just come back into our care😔 His adopter is absolutely heartbroken, but she really tried everything to make things work. So, we’re hoping we can find this sweet fella the home that’s just right for him – please give him a share to help us find it🙏🙏🙏Rex is a very handsome, 1-year-old Basset Hound X Collie – a “Basset Collie”, if you will! He’s a playful, energetic little character who loves having fun🎉Unfortunately, Rex’s older, chilled-out doggy housemates were getting totally fed up with his antics, as he just wouldn’t stop trying to play with them. Rex did, however, get along fantastically with the younger, playful dog in the home who could match his energy. So we think he could happily live with another energetic dog who enjoys a good game. He’d also be perfectly happy as your one and only dog, getting all the attention and cuddles to himself🥰And speaking of cuddles, Rex absolutely ADORES people. He’s super affectionate, very cuddly and just loves hanging out with his humans. He’s a quirky little character with a big personality, and he’s the sort of dog who will have you smiling at his antics every day😍Rex can’t live with cats, and because he’s such a bouncy, playful fella, we’re also looking for a home without very young children – but he’s fantastic with kids over 8. He’s house-trained, great in the car, neutered, and so ready to belong again🥹It’s such a shame that things haven’t worked out for Rex, especially when his adopter had grown so fond of him, but sometimes the right home isn’t necessarily the first home. We’re determined to find him somewhere that suits his fun-loving personality perfectly🐾 If you live in Ireland and think Rex could be the boy for you, please fill out our adoption form here:service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=caw&method=online_form_html&formid=41 ...

Just LOOK at this absolute beauty😍 Gina is waiting patiently for her forever home – please give this gorgeous gal a share and help us find her people🙏🙏Gina is such a sweet, affectionate, 2-year-old Kelpie who absolutely adores her humans. Once she gets to know you, she’s a real cuddle bug and will be very happy keeping you company and getting plenty of fuss🥰She’s also great fun and absolutely LOVES playing fetch – in fact, she’s a little bit obsessed with it😂🥎 She enjoys getting out and about on her walks too, and is a fabulous little adventure buddy.Gina was originally living on a farm and was meant to be a working dog, but she had other ideas! This clever girl decided that farm work wasn’t really for her and that she’d much rather be a much-loved family member. So she went on strike🙌She can be a little selective about her doggie friends, but she would be happy to live with an easy-going dog. We’re be looking for a home without cats unless they’re very confident around dogs and aren’t likely to be bothered by Gina. As she’s a lively young girl, children over 12 would be best too.Gina is a truly fantastic dog, and we can’t wait to see her settled into a home of her own where she’ll get plenty of walks, cuddles and, of course, all the fetch she could possibly want! She’s fully house-trained, good on the lead, and a great passenger in the car.If you live in Ireland and would love to give Gina the happy home she deserves, please fill out our adoption form below:service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=caw&method=online_form_html&formid=41 ...
