Morty and Dana

€200adoption fee

“🐾 Bonded Pair Seeking a Home Together – Morty & Dana 🐾 Please note: Morty and Dana are a bonded pair and must stay together. They are very attached to one another and will not be rehomed separately. Morty is an approximately 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who has been with his owner since he was a puppy. He is affectionate, energetic, curious, and loves being close to people. He enjoys running in fields, exploring outdoors, learning basic commands, and is highly food-motivated. Morty can become vocal when left alone initially, but settles after a while. He would thrive in a home that can give him regular walks, structure, and stimulation. Dana is a 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is affectionate, playful, and loves comfort. Her favourite things include burrowing under blankets, tug-of-war games, and digging in the garden when she suspects there are rodents nearby. She prefers having her own bed and food space and can growl at Morty if he gets too close during those moments. Dana would benefit from gentle exercise and enrichment to help keep her active and engaged. Both dogs would suit a home experienced with terriers and able to provide routine, attention, stimulation, and secure outdoor space. They would especially appreciate a home with a large, secure grassy garden where they can safely run around and enjoy outdoor time. They are both neutered/spayed. Vaccinations are currently not up to date. This is a very difficult decision, and the priority is finding the right long-term home where they will receive the time, care, exercise, and affection they deserve To apply for Morty and Dana, please fill in the adoption questionnaire

Tango

€200adoption fee

Tango is a 5 year old saluki lurcher who is a real favourite of everyone at the rescue. He is so beautiful and gentle, but he also gets a regular dose of the giddies which leads to vast, sprinting loops of our fields! Tango, we believe, has never lived inside a home before. He loves bed and will settle easily into a house, however, house-training may be something to work on across his first couple of weeks in a home. He is very clean here in kennels since getting neutered, but it should be considered that living in a home will be new to him. Tango does well with other dogs. He is terrific with the females but will try to be the boss if other males are being annoying around him! We would definitely rehome him with a female dog, but a male would have to be pending a meet and greet. Tango does not necessarily have to live with another dog, but if there is no dog in his home, we would hope there wouldn’t be too many leaving hours. Lurchers do not generally do well by themselves for any real length of time. Tango has never lived with children before and can be a bit grabby with food (perhaps understandably) so we would prefer a home with children 12 plus for Tango. Meanwhile, a secure garden is preferrable, he has probably been used for hunting in the past and may have a prey drive that does not stop at your boundary! This may be negotiable depending on the location of the home offered and the efforts owners put into oversight. We really would love to see Tango find a loving home, he is so so affectionate. If you would like to apply for Tango please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Xena

€200adoption fee

We are sadly looking to rehome our nearly 5-year-old German Shepherd, Xena, due to housing circumstances. Xena is a loyal and protective dog who is excellent with children and has been part of a busy family environment. She is okay with cats, though supervision is advised, especially around food as she can be food dominant. She would make a great guard dog, as she is naturally wary of visitors. She can be unsure at first, but with calm, dog-friendly people and proper introductions, she settles well and builds trust. Xena is a reactive and nervous dog, particularly around other dogs, likely due to limited socialisation during COVID. Because of this, she would be best suited to a home with no other dogs and with an owner experienced in handling reactive or anxious dogs. She has been keyhole neutered (spayed) and is microchipped. Xena has never been crated, travels well in the car, and is good on the lead. She understands and follows basic commands and is a clever, responsive dog. She is also very expressive—she’ll even put her ears back when she knows she’s done something wrong. She is very alert and will bark at almost anything (even small movements like leaves or dust), so she needs an owner who understands this behaviour and can manage or train it appropriately. Ideal home: No other dogs Someone experienced with reactive or nervous dogs A calm, structured environment Secure outdoor space This is a very difficult decision for our family, and we are committed to finding Xena a safe, patient, and permanent home where she can thrive. to apply for Xena, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals

We are hoping to find a home where she will be well cared for, loved, and given the space and activity she needs to truly flourish.

Patch

€200adoption fee

Patch is a classic Jack Russell, he is 6 years old and in great nick having come from a very caring home. Unfortunately Patch developed a tendency towards controlling behaviours – growling, snapping – when he didn’t get his way. In his home he learned that he could get away with not going out, or staying on the sofa by giving a growl to make his owners back off! In the weeks since he arrived to the rescue, we have had no issue with him. Handling him; clipping on leads; sending him out with volunteers for walks; walking and sharing a kennel with other dogs – all fine. So Patch is not for everyone, we know he may try to employ previously-seen controlling behaviours once he settles in a new home. He needs an experienced, quieter home without people going in and out all the time. He also needs someone prepared to give firm correction if he tries to get away with anything! Patch is a clever, loving, entertaining lad. He is very trustworthy on and off the lead and he is immaculately clean in his kennel. Yes, he needs an experienced owner, but also a home where he gets plenty of fun, encouragement and comfort. Because of his history we will not rehome him to a household with young children. Patch mixes really well with other dogs here. It could be a bonus having another dog in the home where Patch more easily understands that the world doesn’t revolve around him! If you are interested in meeting Patch please read the Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Joe

Joe is a lovely gentle boy who wouldn’t say boo to a goose. He must have had a very scary start to life because he is very timid at first. But once he gets to know you he is so loyal and stays nearby despite his fears and nor does his anxiety result in defensive behaviour like growling or snapping. He really is a gentle soul. He just needs time and patience to get to know you. He is a real cuddle bug with the other dogs in foster so he’d love a home with another dog. He is very quiet and calm in the house, never barks, and just enjoys snuggling with the dogs on the sofa or in his own bed and is not a bother at all. His foster mum is full of praise for him. Preferably a rural or quiet spot where he won’t be spooked by too many people, although he might get used to a busier environment with time and patience. If you can offer Joe the calm, steady life he deserves, you’ll be rewarded with a deeply loyal presence and the joy of watching a timid dog slowly blossom. He is house and crate trained. No cats or small furries.

Frost

€200adoption fee

Such a fun dog, Frost is a 7 year old male Husky. When his owner passed away Frost was left in the same outside run for over 2 years until we heard about him. We can’t wait for this lad to have the opportunity of a fun, playful home to make up for those years without exercise or interaction. Frost is very petite for a male Husky. He LOVES toy play and is so affectionate with people, he is properly entertaining to be around! He has his moments of stubborness and is sometimes inclined to not listen, but that is only because he finds it hilarious to wind up his person! He settles really well in his kennel, no barking or pacing, he is immaculate to care for. Frost has spent his entire life without the company of other dogs. At the rescue Frost meets and passes dogs nicely around the block, but when left to offlead with dogs he’s goofy, bouncy and strong. He takes onlead walks really nicely with others and he could be rehomed with another dog but it will need to be a dog who can tolerate this guy’s misguided attempts at play! Alternatively Frost could be an only dog, he would certainly be a great family pet with children 7+. We will need a home where he isn’t left for long hours and secure garden or space within the garden is a must. He cannot be rehomed with cats. Could you be the person who finally gives Frost the life, love and craic he has been missing for so long? To apply for him please read our Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Fiadh

€200adoption fee

Loving 6-Year-Old Collie Seeking a New Forever Home 🐾 I’m looking to rehome my 6-year-old female Collie due to ongoing aggression and jealousy toward her sister. This has been a very difficult decision, but it is the right one to ensure both dogs can thrive. She is an intelligent, lively, and energetic girl who loves long walks, chasing a ball, and playing with toys. She thrives on mental stimulation , enjoys learning new things, and responds well to a structured routine. She is: • House-trained and used to family life • Affectionate and bonds strongly with her person • Eager to please with great potential for further training • Healthy and up to date on vet care (add details if relevant) She would do best in a one-dog home , ideally with someone familiar with Collies or high-energy breeds. A home with a secure garden and owners who can give her the exercise, attention, and consistency she loves would be perfect. She has shown aggression only toward her sister, not toward people. I’m happy to provide her bed, toys, and anything that will help her settle, along with information about her routines and what works well for her. I can also support the transition to ensure she feels safe and understood. If you feel you could offer her a calm, loving, and dedicated home, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals

€200adoption fee

Shadow is a gorgeous, gentle and affectionate 4 year old trailhound. He is house-trained and mannerly and will make a wonderful pet. His only essential criteria is that there is another dog in the home. Without another dog in the home Shadow will have problems with leaving hours.

Shadow is a dream to walk on or off the lead, his recall is very good. Shadow is exceptional with all dogs, they just love him – he is playful, respectful and a really positive influence on others. Shadow has lived with children in the past and has also been around cats before. He is steady, trustworthy and just an all-round wonderful animal .
