Kobe is a handsome 7 month old Golden Retriever x Rottweiler pup who is a very soft, happy boy.  He came to the rescue because his previous home had no secure garden and he was often heading off next door to the fields where there were cattle when noone was at home.

His nature is very gentle and good.  Kobe has experience of living with a family and his condition is perfect.  He mustn’t have had too much experience with other dogs until he arrived to WCAWG but within just a few hours he had lost his slight worry about them and was participating in lovely, respectful play.

Kobe is going to be a big dog when he grows up.  He will need an active, experienced home who will provide him with the consistency, guidance and love to accentuate an already lovely personality.

Minimum leaving hours for a dog of this age. He could live with children 8+.  Kobe will still be too young for neutering when he heads off to his new home.  Owners need to bear in mind that they will need to oversee that step when the time comes!

If you have a loving, active, consistent home to offer Kobe, please do read the Adoption Process on the website and apply via the Adoption Questionnaire.

Reuben is a 5 month old mixed breed pup.  We can’t overstate what a lovely, well-balanced dog he is.  He was found many weeks ago in West Cork with no microchip, no collar and no owner claiming him in spite of several appeals.

Reuben is happy and easy-going, he just bundles along delighted with life and thrilled with everyone he meets. He is going to make a great family pet or companion dog for the lucky people who offer him a loving and active home.

Reuben already walks really well on the lead and his recall offlead is great.  He has been well-socialised with us here and would be fine to be rehomed with another dog.  He occasionally leaps up out of joy and happiness but he is a quick learner and understands when you want him to sit instead.

Reuben can live with children.  Please bear in mind that when he is fully grown he will be a medium / large sized dog, so perhaps best not to be homed with really young kids, but kids 6+ would be fine.  He has no tendency to nip or mouth.

It is hard to toilet train pups at WCAWG because they are left for longer hours overnight at the rescue than they would be in a home.  Still, Reuben knows to use the back, outdoor part of his kennel for any night-time toilet breaks and we are confident that house-training, with consistency, will be no hassle.

Reuben will not be neutered before going to his new home, he should have the chance to reach a year of age before this is considered. New owners should bear in mind that this is something they will need to oversee, and we will be checking up to see that it has been done!

If you are going to invest in one special thing this year, let Reuben be it!  He is a gem and will make every day a good one!  Please read the Adoption Process on the website if considering Reuben and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Lexi is an almost 5 year old Spaniel x Malinois making her an active girl who is cleverer than all of us!  She will be an extremely loyal, trainable pet but she will need an experienced home.

Lexi has not has much consistency across the past year, this lack of stability has led her to being unsure of people and new situations. Once she knows and loves you, you’re golden. She responds really well to kindness and calmness and has fun, cheeky side to her.

Lexi could live with another dog if that dog is able to tolerate extreme play! The Malinois in Lexi leads to serious “mouthiness” and she looks like she is all teeth when she is playing.  Once she has a good robust playmate she will also snuggle up nicely with them and enjoys their company. She will also be fine as an only dog because she is really faithful to her human.

Meeting dogs onlead is a problem with Lexi.  She is very leash reactive and she is not a fan of small dogs.  A home where she has plenty of rural walks and enough space to have plenty of exercise in her own garden would be a big asset.

Lexi is immediately wary of new people and needs a hands-off approach by visitors until she has a chance to suss them out.  A home without too many people coming and going, a home without children, and a home that is able to manage introductions capably is going to be needed.

To come visit Lexi and learn more about her, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Benji is a 9 year old Maltichon who came into our care recently.  He is a very healthy, happy dog who is full of character and looking for a home where he can dote on his owner and follow them around all day long.

Benji handles very nicely and we would have no problem rehoming him where there are children.  The most important consideration for him are leaving hours – he is a real companion and does not like to be left for long periods.

Benji gets along fine with all dogs so a home with another pet will be considered as long as they gel during a meet and greet.

Benji is in peak health and still requires decent exercise and stimulation.  A secure garden is a must .

If interested in offering a home to this lovely little lad, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Teddy is a 3-year-old purebred border collie looking for a good home. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date with his vaccinations. He currently lives on a working dairy farm but because of his natural tendency to herd, his current owners are regrettably looking for a new home for him. Teddy is very sociable, easy company and great with children. He loves his walks, is good on the lead and follows command well. Teddy gets on very well with other dogs but does like to be the centre of attention. He is eager to please and will do anything to win your love and affection! He is not house trained but is very clean and would be easy to teach if necessary. Teddy would happily take up residence wherever he feels the love, but he is not suitable to a working farm unless his new owner is willing to train him to herd.

to apply for Teddy, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals

Teddy is a delightful, affectionate and loyal 9 year old Maltichon. He is looking for a new home as his owners are no longer able to care for him.  Teddy has been doing great since he arrived to us – full of beans, very sociable and handles beautifully. He walks really well on lead and is a happy, well-balanced boy.

Teddy is used to having someone around most of the time so we hope to find him a home where he can be with his owner(s) most of the day.  He is very much a companion pet, he will want to sit on laps and follow you around!

Teddy gets occasional skin dryness. He does not need medication for it, nor does he show any signs of irritation or scratching. A bath with something herbal and soothing like Botanica wash every few weeks might be something for a future owner to consider.

We would prefer to see Teddy living somewhere with a secure garden. He could live with children 6+.

To apply for little Ted, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using with Adoption Questionnaire.

Levi is a very special little lurcher who we cannot wait to see loved and cosy in a new home.  He is been with us for months because he was so terribly underweight and unwell when he arrived (and because we adore having him here, what an absolute gentleman!)

We would happily rehome Levi to most homes – he will be lovely around children, dogs, we may even consider cats! This dog is just the soundest, softest dog ever – to meet him is to love him! He walks nicely onlead, sticks with you offlead, adores every other dog, loves bed!!!

With Levi, it is more the veterinary side to discuss.  He was so skinny and low in energy over a prolonged period that we started to worry there may be some underlying condition.  Throughout the last 10 weeks he has had bloods taken, scans and xrays to rule out every possible issue.  The vets have now signed him off as healthy, but weight-gain and not too-much-exercise remain important for a while.

Levi is slightly anaemic which vets suspect is from starvation over a long time as a young fella.  He also has increased globulin levels which indicate that he was fighting infection / inflammation across many months.  When we first got him we found a wooden fork in his stomach (eating out of bins maybe??) which was safely removed and may be the source of that globulin increase.  Again, a steady diet to increase his weight and robustness is all that the vets’ advise to his future owners now.

Please consider giving Levi the care and happiness and love he deserves, you could not be getting a more wonderful animal.  To apply, please read the Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Remi is less than a year old and is very petite, more of a whippet-lurcher than a greyhound-lurcher.  He is still gaining weight after he was found fending for himself in a deserted office block in Cork city at the start July ’26.  Since arriving to us he has been happy, loving, playful and so grateful for the attention and comfort.

Remi will be several months trying to balance out his weight but there is no reason why this can’t happen in a home (three smaller meals a day until he is in peak shape!)

With other dogs Remi is playful. He loves having the craic with them and we feel he would do great in a home with another dog. Another dog isn’t essential, but he should be provided with opportunities to walk with / meet other dogs if there isn’t a buddy in his home. Also, if no other dog in the home, we would hope for minimum leaving hours.

This is a very gentle dog, but still has some manners to learn around food (unsurprisingly).   So we probably wouldn’t rehome Remi with very small kids, but children 8+ would be fine. He walks nicely onlead and walks right next to you even when he is offlead. And he LOVES bed!

This handsome boy will probably need a bit of house-training in his new home. Overall he is very clean overnight at the rescue but he will have never lived in a home before. Have a consistent routine (night and morning) for your first few weeks so he understands the parameters – and you’ll be away on a hack!

We love this dog so much but it is time for him to be loved and spoiled in a home now.  Please consider offering him a bright future. You can apply once you have read the Adoption Process on the website and then please do submit an Adoption Questionnaire!
