Rescue animals for adoption

Bobby

€250adoption fee

Bobby is a friendly 12 year old spaniel who needs a loving retirement home. He is happiest when in company so would make an ideal companion pet for a person living alone. Bobby is gentle and loves his daily walks. Apart from growling at the Vet when having his teeth inspected, it seems Bobby is really non-agressive. He just wants a safe and comfortable place to lay his head with someone to provide him with some loving company. Bobby has just been neutered which hopefully will reduce the swelling of a couple of peri-anal adenomas (benign growths) which had been fueled by his testosterone. They are not interfering with his quality of life so they have not been removed.

Nell

€275adoption fee

Nell is a gorgeous elderly whippet lady. She is looking for a retirement home that is committed to keeping her safe and happy. She loves human company and will never say no to a bum scratch or a cheeky cuddle on the couch. Nell is a bit of an explorer so she requires a fully enclosed garden to be able to stretch her legs without the risk of her wandering off. Nell would prefer to be the only pet in the home. She can get frustrated when she sees other animals when out walking, so she would love a nearby quiet walking route to be able to enjoy a peaceful daily stroll without any triggers. Nell can live with gentle kids that understand not to leave doors open, as she will take the opportunity to head off on another adventure.

Walter

€275adoption fee

Walter may be an older gentleman, but hes still a puppy at heart. He is a gentle, loving boy who adores his people and is looking for a quiet home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by love. Walter has never met a stranger! Everyone he meets is a potential new best friend, although his age-related loss of vision means he can be a little cautious when exploring somewhere new or meeting someone for the first time. He just needs a few moments to work out exactly where you are and whats happening around him. Unexpected or loud noises can be frightening for Walter, so he will need kind, patient people who understand that he may need reassurance when something startles him. Once he has had time to adjust, Walter is happiest simply being with his people. Whether youre working, relaxing or pottering around the house, Walter will happily settle by your feet and keep you company. And then there are the toys! Walter is a huge toy fan and is very often spotted proudly carrying his favourite stuffed teddy around with him. Walter does enjoy the company of other dogs and could potentially live with a calm, gentle canine companion who could help him feel confident as he learns about his new world. Walter is looking for a home with adults or older teenagers who will treat him gently and understand that his older bones may be a little achy. He will need someone around frequently at first, giving him time to learn his new home, establish a routine and build confidence. Because Walter relies on his memory of where things are, a home with a consistent layout and minimal changes to his surroundings would be ideal. More than anything, Walter is looking for someone who will see the adoring, affectionate puppy he still is underneath those golden years. He doesnt need a busy or exciting life; He just needs a loving person, a peaceful home, his favourite teddy and plenty of affection.

Gregory

£100adoption fee

Greg is a popular resident at the sanctuary, and with good reason! He is very chatty, loves a cuddle and has the grumpiest little face. Greg has tested positive for FIV which means he will need to be kept indoor and the only cat in the house. With cat that has FIV (Feline immunodeficiency virus) they will need to have an extra eye kept on them health wise. This does not mean they can’t still live long and fulfilling lives! He also has spinal compression so he would need raised food bowls and lowered bedding to help his back. He is on long term pain medication, which is to be given intermittently. We will help with supported adoption for him, meaning we will cover any vet fees in relation to FIV treatment (as long as he is brought to our vets in Antrim) He would be suited to a home with children who have a sensible approach to cats. He will need to be kept indoors.

Bradley is an approximately 7-year-old Lurcher who is a friendly boy and gets along well with other dogs.

Patience, understanding and learning how to communicate with him will be important as he settles into his new surroundings. Bradley deserves a loving home that sees beyond his deafness and gives him the chance to enjoy life to the fullest.

Poppy

£250adoption fee

Poppy is a fantastic little lady with people, she greets every person she meets with a butt wag. Initially Poppy was an unclaimed stray so we didn’t have any detail on her. Poppy did have some issues with toilet training in her last home but was making progress. Poppy will be best living as an only dog but is not at all reactive when walking past dogs in the street. Any adopter should be mindful that French Bulldogs can be among the most expensive of dog breeds to keep . Breed experience/knowledge will benefit your application.

Lara

€80adoption fee

Meet Lara – Tiny Kitten, Huge Personality! 🐾 Don’t let her small size fool you, Lara is a three-month-old kitten with enough confidence to run the entire household… and she’s fully prepared to give it a try. This little lady starts every day with an important schedule that includes zooming around the room at lightning speed, attacking suspicious shoelaces, and bravely defending her kingdom from dangerous enemies such as fluffy toys, dust bunnies, and her own tail. Lara is a curious, playful, and affectionate kitten who believes every lap is a potential napping spot and every human exists primarily to provide cuddles, treats, and compliments. She’s never met a cardboard box she didn’t love or a dangling string she didn’t consider a personal challenge. When she’s not busy causing adorable chaos, Lara enjoys curling up into the tiniest ball imaginable and sleeping so peacefully you’ll wonder how the same kitten was climbing the curtains five minutes earlier.

Tia

€200adoption fee

Tia is around 8 months of age and has not had a stable upbringing to date. In spite of this she is eager to please, affectionate, gentle and ripe for training. We really hope to turn around her fortunes. Tia was bought at a fair where she shared a pen with several other 6 month old pups. We know this girl has had to fend for herself in her early months – she eats and swallows stones, she eats soil, and she is protective of resources around other dogs. We are looking for a home who can slowly undo these experiences and help her develop confidence across these next crucial months. Tia is super with all dogs she meets, but she would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Future owners should be committed to giving her regular opportunity to meet, walk with and play with other dogs. A daily walk with a dog buddy or visits to dog parks, must be part of her future. Tia walks well on lead and she is very in-tune with her person, always searching them out when she is offlead. Tia will be fine to live with children 8+. We don’t know about cats but she will probably settle fine with them. Leaving hours would not be helpful for Tia, we would like someone to be around and interacting with Tia throughout the day. If you are interested in this wonderful girl, please read the Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Pearl

€275adoption fee

Pearl is a sweet, loving Frenchie with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. Shes the kind of girl who wants to be by your side wherever you go, happily following you around like your very own little shadow. Pearl can take a little time to get to know you and learn that she can trust you, but once she lets you into her heart, she forms an incredibly special bond - one that will last a lifetime. For Pearl, her people mean everything. Shes looking for a home with adults or older teens who understand that good things take time and are willing to give her the patience, love and attention she needs to settle in. Once she feels safe and secure, youll have a devoted little companion who simply wants to be part of your world. She is small in size but can be quite strong on lead so she will need some help in learning some better manners on lead. She has gradually been getting used to car travel in her wonderful foster home, and this will need to be continued in her forever home. Pearl enjoys meeting doggy friends when shes out and about, but at home she would love to be your one and only pet so she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. If youre looking for a loyal little shadow who will adore you with all her heart, Pearl may just be the special girl youve been waiting for.
