Uli

€275adoption fee

Uli is a beautiful young lady with the most stunning coat markings and an adventurous spirit to match. She is a busy, energetic girl who loves being part of the action and is looking for an active home that can keep up with her zest for life. While Uli enjoys being close to her people and likes to know what is going on around her, she is not currently a dog who actively seeks out fuss and cuddles. She is looking for patient adopters who will respect her boundaries and allow her to build trust and seek affection in her own time. There is something very special about earning the affection of a dog like Uli, and her future family will need to appreciate her for exactly who she is. Uli can find being left alone quite stressful and would love a home where someone is around for most of the day to keep her company. With patience and a gradual approach, her new family can help her build confidence when spending short periods on her own. This clever girl is also something of an escape artist and is always on the lookout for an opportunity to squeeze through an open door. Because of this, she will need a very secure home and garden, along with adopters who understand the importance of being vigilant and keeping her safe at all times. Uli could live with sensible older teenagers aged 16 and over and would prefer to be the only pet in the home, where she can enjoy all the attention and companionship for herself. For the right family, Uli will be a wonderful companion full of character, curiosity, and fun. She is ready to find a home where she can feel secure, understood, and loved for the unique girl she is.

Barn Cats – Longford

€150adoption fee

Some of our cats aren't looking for a life curled up on the sofa — they're looking for a place where they can enjoy a little more freedom, whether that's as helpful working cats or simply enjoying a peaceful retirement in the countryside. These independent souls come from all walks of life. Some are younger cats who would thrive in a barn or shed where they can put their natural instincts to good use. Others are older cats who would simply love a quiet rural home with a cosy place to sleep, regular meals, and someone to keep an eye on them. All of our barn and country cats require a safe, warm, and dry shelter, with access to fresh food and water every day. To help them settle and bond with their new surroundings, they must be kept securely indoors for at least 6 weeks before being given access to the outdoors. While they may not all be lap cats, they still deserve kindness, comfort, and a place to call home. Many will form their own special bond with their people, greeting you for dinner or keeping you company from a respectful distance. If you have a nice, peaceful spot in the countryside and would like to offer a deserving cat a safe place to live, we’d love to hear from you. Some cats don’t ask for much — just a warm bed, regular meals, and the chance to live life on their own terms. Could you offer one of our barn cats the fresh start they deserve?

Serena

€245adoption fee

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. She will need an adult only home due to being nervous, a home with a family who will understand it will take Serena time to gain confidence and they may need to visit her several times before they can take her home. Can you give a young girl the chance she deserves? To adopt a dog from our Dublin center, we highly recommend a visit to our site on Mount Venus Road. We are open Tuesday to Sunday 12-4 and no appointment is needed to visit. You can chat to the team about any suitable dogs for your family, fill in an application onsite and most importantly… meet with any suitable dogs! Alternatively you can fill out an online expression of interest and you will hear from our team via phone or email over the coming days. Please be advised an online expression of interest does not reserve a dog, a visit to the center will still be required to activate your application and you may need to fill in further forms on your visit.

Max

Max came into the Louth County Pound when his owner moved home and could no longer take him along. He had lived his entire life outdoors, and suddenly found himself without the only world he knew. Now safe in our care, Max is taking everything in slowly. He’s a little overwhelmed — new faces, new dogs, new routines — but that’s only natural for a senior boy who hasn’t known much change. What he has known is loyalty, and we see that in his eyes already. Our volunteers are gently working their magic, offering reassurance, kindness, and consistency. Max is beginning to understand that he’s safe, and that better days are coming. Senior dogs like Max deserve soft beds, warm rooms, and people who won’t let them down again. Our adoption policy requires all dogs to live indoors as part of the family — and for older dogs, that comfort and security is especially important. If you would like to be considered for Max and help him enjoy the rest of his life with dignity, love, and stability, please get in touch! If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please contact our rehoming team on rehoming@dundalkdogrescue.ie

Lila

Lila Lila arrived into our care in May alongside several feline friends from the same household. This beautiful long-haired calico girl has a gentle, sweet nature and is now searching for a forever home of her own. Lila can be a little shy when meeting new people, but beneath her cautious exterior is a loving companion just waiting to blossom. Given a little time and patience to build trust, she soon shows her affectionate side and is likely to become a loyal little shadow to her favourite person. A laid-back girl, Lila enjoys finding a cosy spot where she can curl up and watch the world go by. She’s also a big foodie, with chicken being a particular favourite! Lila would thrive in a calm, settled home where she can take things at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. With a little understanding and plenty of love, she will make a wonderful companion.

Ollie

Meet Ollie Ollie is a young Lurcher, around a year old, who is slowly discovering that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. When Ollie first arrived in our care alongside his brother Stan, he was extremely frightened and unsure of everything around him. He clearly hadn’t had the best start in life, but with patience, kindness, and understanding, we’re beginning to see the wonderful dog hidden beneath his worries. Ollie can be nervous and skittish when meeting new people and experiencing new situations, but once he learns to trust you, he is a sweet-natured, gentle boy who will give you his whole heart. Building that trust takes time, but the reward is a loyal and devoted companion. He is making great progress and is learning to walk nicely on the lead, growing in confidence every day. Ollie could happily share his home with another dog, and we feel he would particularly benefit from living with a calm, confident female dog who could help show him the ropes and teach him that life can be fun and safe. Ollie is looking for a quiet, settled home with children aged 12 years and over who are dog-savvy and able to understand when he needs a little space and reassurance. His new family will need to be patient and willing to let him settle at his own pace. For someone prepared to invest the time and understanding he deserves, Ollie will be an incredibly rewarding companion and a very special friend.

Zena

€150adoption fee

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } One Year Is Long Enough… Meet Zena For the past year, Zena has watched families come and go, hoping each day that someone might choose her. This sweet 2-year-old mixed breed girl arrived at the shelter through no fault of her own. Her family loved her dearly but were unable to find pet-friendly accommodation and were heartbroken to leave her behind. Zena is thought to be a German Shepherd and Border Collie cross, and she has inherited the loyal, people-focused nature these breeds are famous for. She craves companionship, loves affection, and dreams of having someone special to call her own. She’s a large dog with a gentle, loving personality. Zena enjoys cuddles, has experience living with another dog, and regularly socialises with other large dogs during shelter playdates. She could potentially live with another dog following a suitable introduction. Because of her shepherd background, Zena can find being left alone difficult and would benefit from an owner who understands the importance of building confidence and maintaining a strong bond. She would be best suited to a home with children over 10 years old as she is a big dog. Zena is looking for an indoor family home with a secure garden where she can finally relax and belong. A quieter rural environment would suit her best. Zena has done mantrailing training with Oracle Dogs and regularly goes on playdates with dogs her own size in Woofland dog park. She has already waited a year. Now all she needs is someone willing to give her a chance. Zena had a great few days with one of our volenteers recently who had a few days off work. They took her home to give her a break from the kennel life. Here’s what she had to say about Zena: “She was brilliant all the time and settled quite well, she would play football with my son in the garden and left us alone while we ate, no begging for food at the table, she loved hanging around us while we were doing some DIY in the house, she was very clean in the house and slept in her own bed at night, we really hope Zena will find her forever home soon”. Zenas ideal home would be with someone who has experience with the shepherd breed, a house with children over 10, this is just due to her size, an active home with a secure garden. Could you be the person who changes Zena’s life forever?

Elzaa

Elzaa is a lovely mare and a real sweetheart... Elzaa is a lovely mare and a real sweetheart looking for her next chapter. An ex-racehorse, she has come from a caring home and was surrendered into our care, so she has thankfully not experienced the neglect or mistreatment that many rescue horses face. Elzaa is already broken and can be used for hacking, making her an excellent option for someone looking for a horse they can enjoy straight away. Like many former racehorses, she can occasionally be a little flighty, so she is looking for a knowledgeable home with someone experienced in riding and managing ex-racers. Despite this, Elzaa is a kind, easy-going mare who loves attention and enjoys being part of a routine. She deserves a home where she can continue to thrive and be appreciated for the lovely horse she is.
