Rosie, Ruby & Rhylee
Dog
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Meet the 3 cutest Jack Russell’s, Rosie, Rhylee and Ruby Unfortunately their owner sadly passed away and they came to Almost Home, but these 3 sweetie pies have been a dream to care for. They are very settled, very clean and very happy and easy going dogs We recently had them to the private dog park and they absolutely had a blast! They may be a little bit older, but still young at heart, they enjoyed running about and of course had to get a pup cup They always say having 3 dogs is better than 1

Megan
Dog · 4 years · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Lovely girl Megan is ready to find her forever home, shes a 4 year old staffy with plenty of love to give! She arrived in such a sorry state, brought in as a welfare case, tiny and scrawny, extremely underweight and a prolapse. She’s now at a healthy weight with her prolapse fixed Despite her hard start to life she is such a friendly girl and loves people, she loves giving kisses She loves getting out for her walks, and then loves getting cosy in her bed after She’s extremely food motivated which should make training a lot easier for her! She prefers her own space so being the only animal at home would be best for Megan! As we don’t know much about her past, she would be best with a family with older children who are dog savy.

Dorothy
Dog · 6 years · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Dorothy is a 6-year-old pointer cross looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe and settled. She is very much an indoor dog who loves comfort and being close to her people. Dorothy is an extremely sociable girl who enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with canine companions and plenty of open space to explore. Dorothy can find busy environments overwhelming, particularly heavy traffic, busy roads and loud surroundings, so she is looking for a peaceful, quieter lifestyle. She absolutely enjoys walks in forests, along rivers, on beaches and in open spaces where she feels relaxed and comfortable. She is good with children, however we feel an older, calmer home would suit her best where her boundaries and need for peace can be respected. An ideal home for Dorothy could be somewhere rural or semi-rural, perhaps with a secure garden, open land or even a farm-style environment where she can enjoy life at a gentler pace alongside other dogs. She is a lovely, affectionate girl who simply needs the right environment to truly flourish

Zimmi
Cat · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Zimmi Our handsome boy Zimmi, arrived into our care in April and he has been winning the hearts of all our volunteers ever since. This young adult boy is lovely and affectionate, always happy to spend time with the volunteers and enjoy plenty of fuss and attention. He has a playful side too and loves his toys, especially when there’s catnip involved, which always brings out his fun, cheeky personality. His greatest love, however, has to be food, and mealtimes are very much the highlight of his day! always eager and ready when it’s time to eat, which only adds to his charm. Zimmi really would make any house a home, bringing warmth, companionship, and plenty of character with him.

Smokey
Staffy cross · 12 years · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Meet Smokey Smokey is a young Staffy cross with the most stunning brindle markings and an equally beautiful spirit. When she first arrived with us a few weeks ago, she was terrified of the world and unsure of everyone around her. Since then, we’ve had the joy of watching her blossom into a happy, confident girl — and it has been truly wonderful to see. Smokey is fine when out and about with other dogs, but she would prefer to be the only dog in the home where she can enjoy all the love and attention to herself. Sadly, she cannot live with cats. We are looking for a home with dog-savvy children aged 12 plus who will understand her lively, bouncy nature. Smokey is strong on the lead, so an active home with someone willing to continue her training would be ideal. A secure garden where she can have a good run around and burn off some energy before walks would really benefit this fun-loving girl. Smokey has come on so far already and now needs a loving home where she can continue to thrive.

Marshall
Dog · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Introducing Marshall Marshall is a small hound with the most gentle and affectionate nature. He’s a truly lovable boy, but beneath that sweetness is a shy, vulnerable soul that has clearly not had the easiest start in life – and it’s that softness that makes him all the more special. Marshall adores the company of other dogs and would very much benefit from sharing his home with a confident, friendly dog who can help him settle, show him the ropes and give him reassurance as he finds his feet. He’s looking for a calm, understanding home with: • A secure garden • Someone with the time, patience and kindness to help him feel safe and loved • Another dog would be a big bonus for his confidence • Children 6+ who are confident around bouncy dogs With reassurance and routine, Marshall will blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion. He’s the kind of dog who will form a strong bond with his people and repay their patience with endless affection and trust.

Mercedes
Dog · 3 years · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Meet Mercedes. Mercedes is an absolutely brilliant girl — a Bulldog cross, around three years old, with a heart as big as her smile. She has the most wonderful, gentle nature and is simply a joy to be around. Waggy, happy, and full of life, Mercedes loves everyone she meets and greets the world with enthusiasm and warmth. She gets on beautifully with other dogs and shows no issues in their company, though we feel she would truly shine as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. She’s a strong, springy, lively girl who enjoys her walks and is excellent on the lead. Mercedes can live with children aged 12+, and would thrive in a home that enjoys her fun, affectionate personality. There’s honestly nothing bad to say about her — she’s one of those dogs who just leaves an impression on your heart. All Mercedes needs now is a family to call her own.

Nyoka
Corn Snake · 10 years · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Everyone meet Nyoka — our beautiful 10-year-old Corn Snake. Nyoka was originally rehomed from us around six years ago as a young adult. Sadly, her beloved owner recently passed away, and she has now found herself back in our care. After experiencing such a loss, she needs a calm, confident new home where she can settle again and feel secure. Nyoka is feeding brilliantly and has just come through a shed — she’s grown noticeably since returning, looking stronger and healthier each day. She isn’t used to being handled at the moment; although her owner did handle her regularly at the beginning she hasn’t had consistent handling in quite some time. With a patient and experienced keeper, she absolutely has the potential to become comfortable with it again. She’s a sweet-natured girl who simply needs someone confident with snakes, someone who understands their sensitivity and can give her the calm, steady routine she deserves. Nyoka is ready for her new chapter — a safe, understanding home where she can continue to thrive.

Kylie
Dog · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Kylie is a beautiful crossbreed with a truly loving heart. She was once adopted but, through no fault of her own, found herself back with us. While we’re heartbroken that her first chapter didn’t last, we know the right family is out there waiting to give her the forever home she deserves. This sweet girl adores people – she loves nothing more than being by your side, soaking up attention, affection, and playtime. Kylie is playful, loyal, and has so much love to give. She would thrive as the only dog in the home, where she can be the center of someone’s world. Kylie has already shown us her resilience, her joy, and her gentle soul. Now she’s ready to share all of that with a family who will never let her go. Could that be you? ‘”,

Larry
Dog · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Meet Larry Larry is one of those dogs who really makes you appreciate just how far patience, love and understanding can take a dog. Larry arrived at Almost Home 18 months ago after being found as a stray in Armagh with his two siblings, who have long since found their forever homes. Larry, however, needed a little more time. When he first arrived, Larry was terrified. He had never really been handled or given the chance to understand that people could be trusted, and he certainly wasn’t the easiest boy at the beginning. But over the past 18 months, he has come such a long way. Today, Larry is a completely different dog. Once he knows you and feels safe in his environment, he is full of life, fun and personality. He loves being out and about and is now walking fantastically on the lead. Watching him grow in confidence has been amazing. We’re now looking for a very special home for Larry — one that understands that he may need a little time to settle and build a relationship, but will be rewarded with a wonderful, fun-loving boy once he does. Larry would ideally like to live with another dog, male or female. We feel having a confident canine companion will really help him, as Larry takes his cues from other dogs and learns from them. Larry isn’t looking for a home that expects everything to happen overnight. He’s looking for someone willing to give him the time, patience and consistency he deserves. After 18 months with us, we would absolutely love to see Larry finally get his chance at a forever home. If you think you could be the person to give Larry that chance, please get in touch with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI.
