UPDATE: Safe at home

Elderly German Shepherd Looking for Retirement Home 🐾🫶🧡

Nine year old Lucky came to us from the Dog Shelter. Sadly he was given up when his family moved in to accommodation where they couldn't have a dog.

It's tough on an old boy losing his family so we hope to find him a loving home very soon. Lucky has lived with a collie and got on well with a rottie in the Dog Shelter so he's good with medium and and large dogs. He isn't good with cats.

Lucky grew up alongside a child. He doesnt like people to be near his food and we are looking for a family with teenagers and older or no kids. He was used to being left during the day and is fine alone. He likes to sleep a lot though he's fairly active for a nine year old.

If you are in Ireland and interested in adopting this lovely dog please fill in the attached form. Lucky is neutered, microchipped and house trained.

Elderly German Sheph

Say hello to our newest little fella, Chester🥰💕 This adorable Frenchie is on the lookout for a loving home – please help us spread the word and find this lovely boy his forever family! 🏡🙏

Sadly, 5-year-old Chester was surrendered into our care through no fault of his own. His previous family have a young child with complex needs who was finding it difficult to understand when Chester needed some space, and the poor little dude was getting overwhelmed. We’d love to find him a home either without children or with older kids aged 12+ who understand how to give him the space he needs.

Chester is now settling in really well with one of our amazing foster families, and his fosterer has described him as “a little gem”. He’s crate and house trained, loves his walks and is good on the lead. He’s also a very affectionate little fella who loves his rubs and cuddles, and he’s playful too!🤩

He’s getting on with all the other animals in his foster home, including dogs, cats and even chickens! That said, he’s a sensitive fella who can get a little stressed if there’s too much going on around him, so he’d ideally love a peaceful home where he can fully relax😇

Chester is such a little superstar, and we’d love to see him settled into a home where he can feel safe, loved and understood. If you live in Ireland and can offer Chester a loving forever home, please fill out the form below:

Say hello to our new

This poor neglected girl is in the pound, and we’d love to get her into a cosy foster home where she can get some much-needed TLC💔💔 We don’t have a suitable fosterer available right now, so please give this lovely girl a share and help us find a kind-hearted person who can take her in for a few weeks🙏🏡

The shelter staff have named this gentle soul Skye. The poor girl has mange, which is being treated, but she ideally needs a pet-free foster home while she recovers, to avoid passing it on to other animals. We can consider homes in Clare or any neighbouring county – Limerick, Galway, Tipperary or West Offaly.

The shelter staff reckon Skye is between 2 and 4 years old. She’s a shy girl who has clearly been through a lot, but she’s also very sweet, and her affectionate side is starting to come out🥹 So many lovely lurchers like Skye are neglected and abandoned in Ireland, and it’s just heartbreaking as they’re the sweetest dogs💔

All Skye needs right now is somewhere safe and cosy to rest, with a bit of patience and kindness while she recovers. If you can offer her a temporary home for a few weeks while we search for her forever home, please fill out our fostering form below. Skye is not yet on our system so no need to select a name on the drop-down list.

This poor neglected

We really need to find a new home for poor Rua as soon as possible💔 He’s so bored and lonely that he’s been taking himself off on adventures every day, wandering the roads and chasing farm animals😰 His family are at breaking point, and we’re desperate to find a better life for this affectionate boy. Please give Rua a share and help us get the word out! 🙏🥺

We would also consider offers to foster Rua at this point, as we’re desperate to get him to safety but we don’t have a suitable foster space available right now.

Rua is 7 years old and has been with his family since a pup, but they now have three very young children and their house is undergoing major renovations, so he hasn’t been getting the walks, attention and stimulation he needs. Without a secure garden, and with the house currently a building site, he’s been running off daily to find his own entertainment. We’re really worried that something will happen to him😢

Like most Staffies, Rua is an affectionate, happy lad who LOVES people, enjoys a game of fetch and is always up for cuddles on the couch. He’s also great with the young children in his family, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all his basic commands😇

Rua is good with female dogs, although he can be a little nervous around male dogs he meets out and about. He recently spent time with one of our volunteers and her dogs, and he was SOO happy to finally have some company and attention! He needs a home without cats, with an experienced owner who is strong enough to manage him on the lead and can give him the exercise, companionship and stimulation he’s been missing💕

This sweetie-pie deserves to feel safe and loved, with people who have time for him, walks to look forward to, and plenty of cuddles. If you live anywhere in Ireland and can offer Rua the second chance he so badly needs, please fill out this form:

Or if you live in Clare or a neighbouring county and can foster Rua for a few weeks, please get in touch!
