    Nikki

    €245adoption fee

    German Shepherd / Lurcher · 2 years · Male · Large

    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Nikki is a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd/Lurcher cross who is looking for a patient and understanding home where he can learn that the world isn't such a scary place. Nikki is a nervous boy who needs some help building his confidence. He can be a little reactive when he first sees other dogs, but once introduced to friendly dogs, he can get on really well with them. We’re still getting to know Nikki and aren’t yet sure whether he would be suitable to live with another dog. Any potential canine friendship would need to be assessed through a successful meet and greet. With the right person, Nikki has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. He’ll need someone who understands nervous dogs and is willing to give him the time, patience and positive experiences he needs to become more confident. Behind those nerves is a lovely dog who deserves the chance to feel safe, settled and loved.

    Hulk

    €245adoption fee

    Staffordshire Bull Terrier · 1 year · Male · Medium

    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Hulk is a gorgeous Staffie, around 1 year old, who is looking for a special home where he can continue to learn, grow and build his confidence. Hulk is a clever boy with so much potential, but he’s finding kennel life quite stressful and we would love nothing more than to see him settled into a home environment where he can relax and show his true personality. He’s currently working on his lead training and would benefit from an owner who is happy to continue this work using patience and positive reinforcement. Staffie experience would be highly desirable, particularly for someone who understands the breed and their big personalities! We’re still assessing Hulk around other dogs, so we’re not yet sure whether he could live with another dog. This will become clearer as we get to know him better. Despite finding things a little overwhelming at the moment, Hulk is a great dog with so much potential. He just needs someone who can see past his kennel stress and give this young lad the chance to thrive.

  • Roman – Photo 1 of 6

    Roman

    €100adoption fee

    Mixed · 4 months · Male · Small

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    a fun-loving nosy bun! Roman is a 4 month old lop cross who came into the shelter with his mother, Patty, and 4 other siblings. Patty came into the shelter when her babies were no more than 2 weeks old, and she had 5 of them! Even though this time was stressful and she had been living in bad conditions, Patty gave her babies everything and has been an excellent mother. Her babies have been thriving since coming in to us. Roman is too young to be neutered yet so he must go to a foster home until he can come back to the shelter for his surgery. We are planning on booking his neuter surgery for the end of September so he’ll will be on foster until then. We are particularly looking for families to foster with the intention of adopting Roman after his surgery; we call this process ‘fostering-to-adopt’. Thank you for choosing to foster-to-adopt a rabbit from the NSPCA. Please make sure to do your research on how to care for a small animal before considering adopting. We recommend rabbits be kept indoors with an enclosure that’s a minimum of 140 x 60cm for two rabbits with plenty of indoor free roam time. Rabbits require proper housing, bedding, food, enrichment, exercise and vet visits. Small animals are not pets for young children to look after, all the family must be on board to look after and care for any new pet coming into the home. We have seen too many being abandoned so please make sure that you are in a position to look after them and provide them with everything they need. All our rabbits are microchipped and vaccinated and will be neutered once they are ready.

    Holland Lop · Male · Small

    Co. Longford, Ireland

However, we believe that with patience, consistency, and time to build a bond, he will become much more comfortable with his new person. He’s a lovely boy who simply needs someone willing to respect his boundaries and let him come around in his own time. Give Chilli the chance to get to know you, and you’ll discover a wonderfully curious and affectionate character. Reserved

    Crystal Broken & Riding 14.2hh Crystal is a 6-year-old 14.2hh bay mare. She came into our care in a very poor condition, having been severely underweight. With time, proper care and attention, she has made a fantastic recovery and is now ready to find her forever home. She has been recently broken and is being ridden every day.

She behaves well for the farrier and is used to regular handling and care. She can live out full time when appropriately rugged and provided with access to shelter, making her a flexible option for a variety of suitable setups.

    Domestic Short Hair · 3 years · Male · Small

    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Donut is a sweet 3-year-old boy who just needs a little time to find his confidence. Donut is a really sweet 3-year-old boy who has come on leaps and bounds since arriving with us. He was quite nervous at first, but he’s really starting to show us his lovely personality — and it turns out he’s a big fan of cuddles, pets, and attention! Donut would need to be the only cat in the home, as he doesn’t get along with other cats. He would also suit a home without young children, where he can enjoy a calm and relaxed environment. We think Donut would probably be happiest as an indoor-only cat, as he can be a little scrappy when he’s out and about. Give him a cosy home, plenty of love, and a comfortable spot to curl up, and he’ll be a very happy boy. He’s come such a long way already, and we’d love to see him continue to flourish in a home of his own. If you’re looking for a loving, cuddly companion, Donut could be your perfect match!

    Burbon & Cinnamon

    €135adoption fee

    Domestic Short Hair · 2 years · Small

    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Cinnamon and Bourbon are a beautiful pair looking for a home together. Both are a little nervous and can take some time to feel comfortable, so they’re looking for someone who understands that confidence takes time and is willing to let them settle at their own pace. Cinnamon is a beautiful 2-year-old girl who can be a little skittish at first, but we’re confident she’ll come around with patience and reassurance. Bourbon is a handsome 3-year-old boy who is also a little fearful and will need a quiet, relaxed environment where he can decompress and find his feet. As they are both on the nervous side, we think they could potentially suit a barn or country-style home, provided they have a safe, warm and dry shelter, regular food and water, and plenty of patience. They would need to be kept safely indoors for at least 6 weeks initially to allow them to settle and become familiar with their new surroundings before being given outdoor access. Alternatively, a quiet home where they can simply relax and build their confidence together could be perfect for them. Cinnamon and Bourbon don’t need to be rushed or pushed — they just need someone willing to give them the time, space and kindness they deserve. With each other by their side, we’re hopeful they’ll continue to blossom.
