Peter is a 7 year old Jack Russel
Hes such a cool dude and we are all in love!
Peter seems completely unfazed by anything and is just out for a good time,
He gets along great with other dogs, and loves people. He would be fine with a companion dog in a home, but would be totally cool being the centre of attention too.
He loves everyone he meets, and would make an utterly amazing adventure buddy!
He adores his walks and is a really energetic fellow, so he will be looking for an active home, where he will get plenty of exercise!
Peter can be homed with kids from 6+

Ollie is a 6 year old cockapoo that has come into our care after his owner sadly passed away.
Ollie is such a sweet boy, and is great with people.
He adores his walkies, walks well on lead and loves to explore new places. Once he gets to know and bonds with his new owners, he recall is excellent!
He gets along well with other dogs, although he hasnt shown much interest in play, hes happy to be in the company of other dogs
Ollie is great to be groomed, and would have to be groomed on a regular basis (every 8 weeks or so) to ensure his coat doesnt get matted and uncomfortable, so this would have to be taken into consideration by the new owner.
Although Ollie is very sweet, he is looking for an adult-only home. He does show some resourcing guarding behaviours around food and toys, but this is something that can be managed within the home.
Ollie adores bieng around his person, so long hours where he is left alone would not be suitable.
If you think you can offer this handsome boy his forever home, please read the adoption process and fill out our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals
Donut is a 10 week old Jack Russell pup. He was born at our centre and has had all of his primary veterinary work – vaccinating microchipping and worming done and is ready to start life in a loving home.
Donut is one of three who were in the litter. He is gentle and curious and lovely to handle – he should adapt well to being in a new encouraging home away from his litter.
We are looking for a home with minimal leaving hours – ideally there would be someone around for most of the day. Another gentle companion dog would be fine and kids 8+ would also be fine.
All of the house-training and basic training including walking on lead will need to be put in by his new family so please bear this in mind when applying. Pups are a lot of work and people need to be committed to a consistent routine for the first several weeks so Donut can learn to adapt to home living.
If you would like to apply for Donut, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire. We expect to have a high volume of enquiries so please be patient for a few days after applying, we will be in touch to let you know if your application was successful.
Jaffa is a 10 week old Jack Russell pup. He was born at our centre and has had all of his primary veterinary work – vaccinating microchipping and worming done and is ready to start life in a loving home.
Jaffa is one of three who were in this adorable litter. He is the bravest, biggest (although still so small) and happiest of his group, he should adapt well to being in a new home and away from his litter.
We are looking for a home with minimal leaving hours – ideally there would be someone around for most of the day. Another gentle companion dog would be fine and kids 8+ would also be fine.

Marlay is an almost 9 year old golden retriever. He is a big, cuddly dude who adds a lot of happiness to the days at WCAWG!
Marlay arrived to us with a very large cancerous tumour on his face. We have taken off the Mast Cell tumour, we hope we got it all, but the lump was so close to his eye it was hard to acheive the cleanest margins possible.
Whether or not this tumour regrows in a year or so, another Mast Cell tumour could reappear elsewhere at any time. As a result we are looking for a home who understands that Marlay may have a limited lifespan, but who would like to make whatever months or years he has left the best ever!
Marlay is great with other dogs, he is happy to share his space with them and play away on walks. He has always had a doggie companion so a home with other dogs is a plus, but not essential. Marley loves having company – we are looking for a home with minimal leaving hours.
Marley is strong onlead initally but once you settle into your walk he eases up and walks along nicely. Off the lead he is very reliable. He can be quite mouthy which, along with future potential health issues, makes us err on the side of caution and look for a home with children 14+
Marlay loves walking around with a soft toy in his mouth all the time – he is a classic retriever! If no toys are on hand a blankie or food bowl will also work nicely!!
Zuma is a 7 month old chocolate Lab x Collie. She is a very sweet, playful dog but she is mistrustful of new people, she will be looking for owners who are prepared to work on positive socialisation.
Zuma loves playing with other dogs and would do really well with a companion dog in the home. Her house-training is still a bit hit-and-miss so owners will need a consistent routine for those first weeks to help her understand what is expected.
Zuma absolutely loves toys, she will keep herself occupied for ages with them! She walks reasonably well onlead but could do with a bit more input as well as being introduced to a harness. She is very reliable off the lead, always checking back with you. Having toys or treats with you for those first few offlead moments will ensure she’s right with you!
Her wariness with people comes from not regularly meeting new people throughout her early life. It only takes a couple of minutes for her to warm to everybody, we hope that with plenty of encouraging introductions she will shed the wariness as she gains trust in her surroundings.
Children 12+ for Zuma and long leaving hours will not suit this young, interactive dog.
Darling Saffi is a bundle of love and energy. She is about 3 to 4 yrs old. A terrier, believed to be a chihuahua Jack Russell cross. She is microchipped, vaccinated and treated for parasites. She absolutely loves people and wants to please them! She is a rescue girl but due to a lack of knowledge about her past I didn’t discover her issue with jealousy around other dogs until 5 months into bringing her home.
Re-training and medication were tried but after a year of perseverance her possessive nature is too engrained. sudden unprovoked attacks are stressful for all the dogs, Saffi included. When not insecure she plays happily with my Maltese and younger Yorkie.
I cannot stress strongly enough that she adores people and always wants to please them, have her belly rubbed and told she’s a good girl. And she loves her treats.
However, she would be best suited as an ONLY pet in a home with adults and/or teenagers. In the interests of finding Saffi the best home, people need to understand she has had no contact with youngsters. No cats, please.
She is house trained and crate trained but loves beds; sofas and laps! She is great on her lead. When in the garden she loves to burn off her terrier energy, once this is accomplished she will happily take herself indoors. She has never damaged the house when left alone and seems to be road aware as she does not blindly run towards open gates.
She loves to play and is very curious about everything and anything. She would be wonderful for an older person or someone with teenagers. She is a champion jumper so will need a secure garden.
In essence, she is a true terrier. Loyal and loving. Intelligent and strong willed with so much to give the right person. A tiny bundle of pure love for a someone needing a companion.
Ali is a 1 year old female kelpie cross dog. She is very energetic and needs lots of exercise. She is very affectionate and loves being rubbed. She can be walked on a lead but is strong at the start of the walk. She loves running around the fields. She has very good recall even though she is not trained. She needs a home with lots of space to run around. She would be a very good working dog but needs training.

Attention Spaniel Lovers! Fergal is such a dote of a dog – he’s a 1 year old Springer Spaniel, now neutered and looking for his forever home.
Fergal is terribly timid due to having a not-very-nice start in life. When he sees you he tends to pancake and crawl around uncertainly on his belly so we are going to need a lovely, encouraging, soft home for this lad. Don’t be too concerned though, he loves gentle handling and cuddles and will nuzzle right into you. We are in no doubt that his confidence is going to develop beautifully in a fun, loving home.
Fergal probably never saw a lead and collar until he arrived to WCAWG. He is a bit strong and skittish on the lead, but he is learning! A harness will be the better way to walk him. He also loves offlead time – he’s not looking to bolt or hunt or run away he stays nicely in the area and is in tune with his handler and listens to recall. New owners will need to build gradually to offlead walks, making sure there is a strong and definite bond with him before experimenting!
Fergal is gentle and loving and grateful, he is going to make the most wonderful pet, he could live with children 8 plus. He also gets on really well with other dogs, he never annoys them or gets in their face but enjoys their company. A home with or without another dog would be fine.
It would be preferrable for there to be a secure area in Fergal’s new home for those initial few weeks of bonding and learning. If it is a very rural, safe area we may consider not-fully-enclosed homes, but owners would need to be committed to having him onlead every time he steps out the door into the garden for the first while.
To apply for Fergal, please read our adoption process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
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
