Rescue animals for adoption

Athena, Buck, Chimney, Eddie, Hen and Beans

€100adoption fee

Our fabulous bottle babies, and their bonus brother Beans, are officially ready to take the next step in their little adventure..... finding their forever families! Believe us when we say that this bunch of bounciness is not for the faint hearted! Athena, Buck, Chimney, Eddie, Hen and Beans are six happy, confident and ridiculously entertaining little characters who are full of energy, curiosity and have a zest for life. They are at the age where everything is exciting, everything is a game and apparently everything needs to be investigated! Because kittens are happiest with a feline friend to grow up with, these little ones will be rehomed in pairs. They all get along wonderfully but some sibling combinations have formed particularly strong bonds and complement each other better than others. So rather than simply picking two kittens, we will help match each one with the sibling who is the best fit for them and their family. Like all our kittens, they must live indoors as part of the family. Safe outdoor access when they are older is a bonus, but it isn't essential. They can live with respectful children and other cats and, having started their lives in foster care alongside dogs, they have already had a great introduction to the world around them. Of course, like all kittens and cats we rehome they are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered before adoption. What they need now is a family ready for the fun, the zoomies, the mischief, the cuddles and all the adventures that come with raising kittens. We think they are pretty special. Now they just need the families who will think so too. Please remember that these kittens will be carefully matched and rehomed as pairs, with their personalities and relationships taken into consideration to give them the very best chance of a happy life together.

Gruffalo Kittens

€100adoption fee

Our Gruffalo litter weren’t quite sure how to react to the news that their lovely mum, Owl, had found her forever home on Saturday. But they were very happy to hear that they’re now ready to start their own search for forever families! Tiddler, Zog, Frog, Squirrel and Gruffalo are all looking for their forever homes. As they are a close knit, playful bunch, we’re looking to home them in pairs or with another young, social and playful cat because kittenhood is even better with a friend! As with all our wonderful kittens, they will be looking for indoor homes where they will be part of the family. We do not home our kittens to sheds, garages, outbuildings or similar accommodation. All of our kittens are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered before adoption, and most importantly, we take the time to match each kitten with a home that is right for their individual needs and personality. Could you be the forever family these little characters has been waiting for?

My previous family had a young school-aged boy, so I’m used to having little humans around. ❤️ In summary: Friendly? ✅ Affectionate? ✅ Playful? EXTREMELY ✅ Good with humans? Absolutely.

✨ Introducing this lovely distinguished little gentleman ... Scrappy 💙 🐾 He is approx 6 years young, a dachie x who sadly came into our care as a stray & has not been re-claimed. Scrappy has been a delight to have in our care, when he first arrived he was very scared & confused ... he didn’t really want to know us at all ... but finally after some perseverance & tasty treats - He’s decided he likes us now 😅 Since then, we’ve discovered what a tennis ball chasing, belly rub lover, cuddle bug he was hiding inside this whole time 🫶🏽 Scrappy can be a bit shy with new people, but once he realises you are there for playtime & rubs he is all over you. He is thriving now he is getting all the attention & is such an easy going boy. He loves being close for cuddles, rolling over for good ole belly scratch & chasing after balls 🎾 He’s a playful, loving chap underneath it all ! Scrappy is great to walk on the lead & loves his little nosies down the road. He can be a little barky with other dogs & may be more suitable to any only dog home where he can be the king of the castle 👑 He is toilet trained & not child or cat tested. Due to his cautious, older nature, we would not re-home with children. Scrappy is an absolutely stunning little boy, I mean just look at him 😍 He has such an easy going, pleasant nature .. he wouldn’t require endless walks , a little toddle down the road & a roam in the garden to lie in the sun & chase his tennis ball would do him. This little gent deserves a second chance, a new chapter to his story ... and we know the perfect forever home is out there waiting for him 💙 🐾

Ruby

Ruby is a small Maltese mix, approximately 4–5 years old. We are not sure what he is mixed with, but he is a small dog. Ruby can be quite fearful and nervous, and we believe he may have had some difficult experiences earlier in life. There is also a possibility that he spent a lot of time tied or leashed outside when he was younger, which may help explain his strong fear of leads and some of his nervous behaviour. He can be territorial and may bark a lot, especially when he feels unsure or uncomfortable. Ruby is not leash trained and is very frightened of leads. When a leash is put on him, he tends to freeze rather than walk, so he would need a very patient and gentle approach to leash training. Ruby is affectionate and enjoys human attention. He will approach people himself for attention and especially likes head rubs. However, he can become nervous if he feels overwhelmed, so he is happiest when attention is given on his terms and his body language is respected. He has been patient around children and has not shown a tendency to bite. However, because he can be nervous and somewhat unpredictable when frightened, interactions with children should always be supervised and calm. Ruby does not seem bothered by cats, but he does not get along well with other dogs. He can become very reactive and aggressive around them, particularly in his own space. This is the main reason he is being rehomed, as there is now another small dog in the household and Ruby is not coping well with having another dog around. Because of this, Ruby would likely be best suited to a home where he is the only dog. He would benefit from an experienced, patient owner who understands fearful or reactive dogs and can give him time, space and consistent boundaries. A quieter home may suit him best, where he can gradually build trust and receive gentle training. to apply for Ruby, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire

Benno

Benno is a beautiful, healthy, 5 year-old rough collie looking for a quiet, loving home. He is a clever and energetic dog who needs regular exercise and stimulation. Benno is a lot of fun to be around when there’s a frisbee or ball to chase, and he loves to rub his back on a frosty lawn! Benno can be headstrong but is also keen to please and likes obedience training (with treats). Benno is not especially affectionate, but seeks out his our company and flops companionably at our feet in the evenings. Benno is highly reactive and reacts strongly to noises. He finds loud noises like motorbikes, blenders and vacuum cleaners threatening and reacts aggressively with barking. He also sometimes also barks at other sounds like laughter, singing or children playing on the street. He is overly protective of his household and can be aggressive towards visitors. He gets excited by airplanes (and will give chase). Benno has lived companionably with two cats, but has been the only dog since we adopted him as a puppy. When walking he is a bit nervous of small dogs and can be reactive to larger dogs, but also interested in meeting other dogs. Benno needs a peaceful home, maybe with teenagers but not young children. We’re looking for a quieter home (away from an airport flight path) and an experienced owner who can help Benno overcome his reactive and protective tendencies and become a happier and more settled version of himself. to apply for Benno, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire

Jordan and Felix

Jordan is about 2 years old , black male, neuteured and vaccinated. He is very loveable and friendly with new people and loves play time. Felix (black and white male) is about 9 years old, vaccinated and neutered) . He was very timid of people when he first arrived but has warmed up to us and love snuggles on the couch and is playful once he gets used to you. It will take him a little bit of time to adjust to a new place and new people but showering him with plenty of affection will build his trust. They are both indoor cats at the moment and if they could get a home together it would be great as they are good friends. Due to Felix bieng a little more timid, these cats are looking for an adult only home to apply for Jordan and Felix, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire

Bobby and Pesto

Bobby (grey and white) and Pesto (black and white), are two beautiful 5-month old male kittens who are looking for their forever home. They are litter trained, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and have been treated against fleas and worms. Both of the boys love to play and run around, have a great appetite, and always curl up together for a nap. Although they are still a little shy with people, they are gradually becoming more comfortable with receiving affection. A family who is happy to continue socialisation would be perfect. As they are very bonded, we are looking to rehome them as a pair. An indoor home with safe access to the outdoors would be ideal, but fully indoor homes will also be considered. They get on very well with other cats and kittens, so would be suitable for a home with or without existing cats.

Dustin

Meet Dustin , our 21-month-old neutered Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. He’s a registered purebred with papers, stands about 60cm tall, and has a soft, golden, non-shedding coat. I always thought Dustin and I would grow old together, so writing this breaks my heart. We’re rehoming him because our home is surrounded by horses, and he’s become determined to get into the fields to round them up, which puts both him and the horses at risk. We spent six months trying and considering everything: fencing, GPS collars and additional training, but nothing can match his herding instinct. The space is too big to fence in, and building a pen and keeping him penned up while his dog friends play freely would be no life for such a sociable boy. He deserves somewhere he can run safely. Dustin is joyful, affectionate and full of character. He’s wonderful with children, loves everyone he meets, and is happiest playing with other dogs. He adores woodland walks, beach runs, car trips and the postman (who brings him biscuits!). He’s housetrained, knows lots of tricks, and is a champion cuddler. What we’re hoping for: 1. A doggy companion to play with. He’d make a wonderful younger brother. 2. A large, secure garden away from livestock and with no access to traffic. Dustin is fully vaccinated, and his March booster is already paid for. His vet records are available and show he’s prone to itchy paws, which is very manageable. Dustin is my shadow and the centre of our world. We love him beyond measure, and the hardest part is knowing we won’t see him grow into the wonderful adult dog we know he’ll be. If you think you could give him the home he deserves, please fill out the West Cork Animals Adoption Questionnaire.

Rocco

With a very heavy heart, we’re looking for a new home for our much-loved Rocco. After many years as part of our family, an unexpected move abroad for work means we now have to find the right person or family to love him for the next chapter of his life. ❤️ Rocco is a dog who has definitely travelled. Born in Hungary, shipped out to the Middle East, where we were lucky enough to find him in a rescue shelter, and after two years with us, we brought him home to Ireland to continue living with our family. Around the house, Rocco’s favourite place to be is chilling with us all. With young kids, he moves from room to room and will happily plonk himself down wherever they are — sometimes right in the middle of their fort! 😂 Rocco’s bowel movements are like clockwork — up in the morning and out he goes, and again in the evening. He’s fully house-trained and, when he needs to go out, he’ll generally just come and stand beside you to let you know. During the day, he’s often out in the back garden with the kids at their tree house, playing or simply tagging along with them on whatever adventure they’re having out the back. He’s fed once in the morning and has always been very puppy-like, something we’ve been told from the beginning and something the kennels he stays with while we’re on holidays have said too. At the kennels, he happily plays and mixes with all the other dogs and has no problem staying there overnight. We’re very happy to provide references from them. If we’re heading off for the day, Rocco is quite happy at home and we’ll usually just leave the radio on for him for a bit of company. When a visitor comes to the house, there’s no barking — simply a sniff to say hello. Then off he’ll go to find a toy, a bone, a ball — anything he can bring back in the hope that you’ll play with him. Living out in the countryside, we know how privileged we are, and Rocco is completely at home here. With cows grazing in the fields next door and nature all around us, he’s just as chilled outside as he is in the house. Out for walks, predominantly in our local woods, you may get a bark when an oncoming dog approaches, as Rocco is lead-reactive. He’s much better now than when we first met him and really just wants to be free to go over and say hello. Off the lead and in the kennels, he’s happily playing and socialising with other dogs. Rocco has been my son’s best friend since birth — he’s now 8. He happily lets our now 6-year-old play with his long hair, and our 3-year-old, well, she’s only recently become taller than him! 😂 He really has grown up as part of our children’s lives and right in the middle of our family. Health-wise, Rocco is doing incredibly well for 12. He’s not on any medication and never has been. Two years ago, he had a twisted stomach which required an operation. The operation went really well and he’s had no problems since. He will occasionally develop a hot spot, particularly if we’ve been away on holiday a little too long. If one appears, we pop his cone on to stop him bothering it, which he doesn’t mind at all, and he’s usually fine again within a few days. Our move has all come about very quickly and certainly wasn’t something we had planned for. At 12, Rocco is beginning to slow down with old age, his hearing is starting to go too, and where we’re moving will simply be too hot for him. We don’t feel it would be fair to put him through another international move at this stage of his life. We want to find him a loving home where he can continue to live out the rest of his days surrounded by love, companionship and, hopefully, the beautiful countryside he’s become so at home in. ❤️ Hes a real gem of a dog!

Billie

€275adoption fee

Billie is a sweet and lovable little lady whose big personality can sometimes hide a more insecure side. Her excitement and giddy behaviour are often her way of coping when she is unsure, so she will need adopters who are patient, understanding and able to read her signals and recognise what she is really trying to communicate. Billie would love to be the only pet in her new home, where she can enjoy plenty of one to one attention, guidance and positive training. She can have doggy friends outside the home who are happy to cope with her enthusiastic personality, although Billie is not always the best at reading other dogs signals yet. She will need kind guidance and support to help her learn appropriate social skills and understand when another dog needs a little space. Billie can live with sensible teenagers aged 14 years and over who can respect her boundaries, give her space when she needs it and understand that her giddy, playful behaviour can sometimes be a mask for how unsure she is feeling. A fully secure garden is essential for Billie, along with a home where her new family can give her the time, patience and encouragement she needs to grow in confidence. With the right support, positive training and plenty of reassurance, Billie has so much potential. As her confidence grows, we are sure this lovely little lady will blossom into a wonderful and devoted companion.
