Lyric

€275adoption fee

Lyric is a stunning young Newfoundland with a heart every bit as big as he is. Still growing into his enormous paws, this handsome boy greets life with boundless enthusiasm and absolutely adores meeting new people. Every new friend is met with a wagging tail and puppy-like excitement, so his new family will need to be comfortable handling a giant breed and helping him learn that not everyone is ready for such an enthusiastic hello! Like many young dogs, Lyric loves getting out and about and can be quite strong on the lead as he eagerly heads off to explore the world. Hes looking for a family who are committed to continuing his training and helping him develop into the calm, well-mannered companion we know he can be. When its time to play, Lyric is always ready for fun. He loves a game of fetch and is just as happy making new friends over a favourite toy. While Lyric loves people, he can find other dogs overwhelming, so hes happiest walking in quieter areas where he wont meet lots of canine companions. Hed love a family who enjoy hopping in the car to discover peaceful walking routes together, giving him the chance to explore without the stress of busy environments. Lyric is searching for a calm home in a quiet area with a secure garden where he can stretch his legs, play and relax.

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.

Luna

€275adoption fee

Meet Luna, a gentle soul with a quietly confident spirit. This lovely lady is sweet natured and affectionate in her own understated way. She is not one for constant fuss or overwhelming attention, but she truly enjoys being near her people, happily sharing space and companionship on her own terms. Luna is looking for a calm, adult only home where she can be the only pet and enjoy the peaceful life she prefers. A secure garden is important for her, giving her the freedom to stretch her legs, explore, and play safely at her own pace. She would love to live close to quiet walking areas where she can enjoy relaxed strolls without encountering too many other dogs. Even better if these spots are within walking distance, as she prefers not to spend long in the car. After a gentle walk and a bit of fresh air, Luna is perfectly content to settle down beside you and simply relax, soaking up the comfort of home. She would thrive with someone who is home for most of the day, offering her steady companionship and a reassuring presence. In return, Luna will be a loyal, calming companion who brings warmth and quiet joy to the right home.

Papi

£250adoption fee

Papi has been a nervous little guy in kennels. He has taken a little longer than most to settle so it will be important that any adopter will take the appropriate time to allow Papi to decompress from his stressful kennel stay. Behind that though Papi is a little ball of energy and fun, he is very active and everything is 100 mph. Papi could live with children aged 13 + years who have a sensible approach to dogs. Papi will need to be the only dog in the home.

Karen

Karen is between 3 and 4 years old. Karen spent a long time waiting in the pound, but now that she’s in rescue, we’ve had the joy of getting to know the real Karen — and she’s absolutely beautiful, inside and out. In the house, she’s a dream. She’s calm, respectful, and gentle. No chewing, no destruction — just a lovely companion who’s happy to quietly share your space. She’s comfortable being left alone and doesn’t stress or make a fuss. Honestly, she’s a lot like having a Labrador around — affectionate, steady, and loyal. Outside, Karen enjoys doing her own thing. She loves a good sniff and walks beautifully on the lead. While we haven’t fully tested her with other dogs yet, she passes them calmly and politely on walks. Karen is a deeply loyal girl who’s ready to bond with someone special. She doesn’t ask for much — just a safe home and someone who’ll love her as much as she’ll love them. Could that be you? This is Karen on a day out from the kennels.

Marshall

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.

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.

Jasper

€250adoption fee

Jasper is a gorgeous five-year-old lurcher who is incredibly loving and affectionate and forms strong bonds with the people he trusts. He much prefers humans over dogs! Having recently benefitted from some wonderful time in a foster home, Jasper can now cope with an urban setting and indeed sharing a home with another resident dog is also possible. Of course a successful meet and greet is essential if he’s to share this home with another dog. We will not consider a home with cats for Jasper. A quieter living environment suits him best with walks in peaceful areas where Jasper is much more relaxed. He really enjoys his walks and is excellent on the lead. A village or small town would be suitable but not a very built-up residential/urban area. Jasper will make a wonderful and devoted companion as he has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right person or family to give him the chance he deserves.

Isadora absolutely adores meeting people and bonds quickly with everyone she meets. Because she feels her emotions so deeply, Isadora can sometimes be a little over-eager with her greetings and may jump up to say hello. Shes still learning how to manage those big feelings, so ongoing, positive training will be important to help her grow into her best self. Isadora is a strong girl on lead and would thrive with an active family who enjoys long walks, hikes, or runs to help her burn off her youthful energy.

Isadora is hoping to find a family who can continue her training and help her learn to manage her big feelings when seeing other dogs out and about. Isadora would love to be the only pet in the home, where she can soak up all of your attention. At this stage, she would be best suited to an adult-only household while her training continues.
