9 month old playful Penny, came to us from our center in Longford. She loves being around people and adores attention. Due to her size she will best suit a home with teenagers who have had a large dog before. This clever girl loves to learn, she behaves well in the house and is toilet trained. Penny enjoys the company of other dogs when out and about but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Can you offer this clever girl a home?

Small in size but overflowing with personality, Tomas is a sweet little terrier who is searching for a kind, patient family to help him continue to grow in confidence. Like many sensitive dogs, he can sometimes be misunderstood. The world can feel like a very big and overwhelming place for such a tiny chap, but with understanding and encouragement, Tomas has already made incredible progress in his training. Tomas is looking for a calm, adult only home where he can keep building on everything he has learned. Once you earn his trust, you will discover a playful, affectionate little dog who loves spending time with his favourite people. Whether he is happily entertaining himself with his squeaky toys or keeping you company while you work, Tomas makes a wonderful office buddy and is always happiest when he is close to those he loves. Because he is a sensitive soul, loud noises such as barking dogs or heavy traffic can make him feel uneasy. He would much prefer peaceful walks in quieter places where he can enjoy exploring without the pressure of meeting lots of other dogs. Recently, Tomas spent some time on foster where he was unbothered by the resident cat so he may potentially be able to live with cats in the future but this will need dedicated time to do slow introductions. For someone willing to see beyond his worries and give him the time he needs, Tomas will reward you with endless loyalty, fun and companionship. Watching this little dog continue to blossom will be one of the most rewarding journeys you could take.
Toby came into our care from the pound so we don’t know much about his background. What we do know is that he is a young, energetic & happy little boy. He can be a bit shy initially so we think he may suit a quieter home. He isn’t the biggest fan of every dog he meets so we think he would be best as the only dog in the home setting. He would love if someone was home most of the day to help settle him in. Toby will thrive with consistent training, regular exercise/play & routine.
Meet the lovely Serena! Serena came into the NSPCA from another rescue in search of her forever home. She is a super social girl with other dogs but is nervous of people. Her ideal home would be a multidog household with some enclosed garden space for her to run and play.

Violet is a spunky little terrier with a big personality wrapped up in a small, adorable package. She's had a tough few months and has shown incredible resilience even when she had to have one eye removed due to an old injury. Despite everything, Violet's spirit shines through. She's a sensitive girl who likes to take her time getting to know new people. But once she feels safe and comfortable, she becomes a wonderfully cuddly companion who enjoys gentle affection and quiet moments by your side. True to her terrier nature, Violet also has an independent streak. She prefers to explore at her own pace and isn't a fan of being picked up. Walking and wandering under her own steam is much more her style. Violet is seeking a calm, quiet home as the only pet, ideally in a peaceful area away from busy streets and heavy traffic. She isn't keen on other dogs, so she'll thrive with owners who can give her tranquil walks where she won't have to encounter many canine neighbours. If you're looking for a small dog with a huge heart, a gentle soul, and a spark of terrier sass, Violet may be the perfect addition to your home.
