Zebo is a 10 year old Brittany Spaniel who is being rehomed because his activity levels are too much for his elderly owners.
Zebo is a strong, excitable dog who even at 10 has a need for regular and stimulating exercise. A secure garden would be preferrable for Zebo so he has somewhere to dash around.
Zebo does not have a lot of experience around other dogs, he would likely do best in a home where he is the only pet.
This is a very happy, well-natured dog that we hope will be a terrific walking and hiking companion for the right owner.
To apply please fill in the Adoption Questionnaire for Zebo.

Danny is a 10 month old large, mixed breed dog who has a soft, affectionate temperament. He came into us from an elderly owner who wasn’t able to give him the time, training or exercise that he needs.
Although Danny has all the traits to be a wonderful family pet we will have to be careful about the age of any children in his home, simply because he is unaware of his size and strength and he doesn’t lack for enthusiasm! He is still just a big puppy…
Danny will not do well with leaving hours. He spent a lot of his life to date alone in a yard when really all he wants to do is to follow someone around. We are determined to find him a home where he has human or doggie company for most of every day.
An active, nurturing home is what Danny needs. He would be fine to live with another dog, he absolutely loves them, but it would need to be a happy playful dog who is mellow enough to accept a new large presence in their home.
Danny is strong onlead. He walks well on a harness, but he really has no idea of his size yet. A home with a large garden or access to nice offlead walks, along with regular training on the lead would be helpful. He is terrific off the lead with instant recall.
Danny is extremely clean in his kennel, house-training should not be a problem. However, he is very unsure of what people want from him and will still do the submissive peeing we see from pups when they are uncertain or worried. Danny needs consistent kindness and encouragement to shed this puppy behaviour.
We would love to see Danny in a happy home, he is going to be a wonderful, devoted pet for whoever gives him his big break! To apply for Danny please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
Toby is a 7 year old border collie
he is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped
He is a typical Border Collie, well trained but can be reactive when he feels nervous. We have been socialising him over the past few month since we have had him and is getting so much better. He takes commands/direction very well.
Toilet trained, will never do his business in the home.
Takes commands well.
Off the lead when a ball or a stick is thrown. When off the lead, I have a clicker, he responds to (recall)
Obedient, sleeps in his bed.
Loves swimming in lakes and walks.
We always use a ball to distract him when meeting new people. It keeps him occupied.
Toby is reactive to strangers and other dogs.
he will need a home that is experienced and patient with him
he will be best in an adult only home
Olive is a 5 / 6 year old collie who came to us once she completed her stray-hold time after being found wandering by herself in West Cork. We have no history on this lovely dog, although we suspect she didn’t receive all the love she deserved. We intend on changing that now!
Olive shares a kennel with another dog here in our centre, but she is fairly indifferent to other dogs. She is ALL about the person! She wants to follow you around, stare up at you adoringly, lie at your feet while you are on the computer…
Olive has a bit to learn when it comes to lead-walking. She is entirely dependable off lead, she is right with you, but we don’t think she was ever on a lead before. So she can get herself a bit wrapped up in the lead as she walks next to and around you! She will learn – she is clever and dying to please!
We don’t know what Olive is like with cats. We imagine she is also indifferent to them, so as long as any cats in the home are dog-savvy we would be fine to give it a go!
We doubt Olive has lived within a home before, owners will need to put a bit of time into house-training and settling her into living in a home. Depending on the location of the home and also on leaving hours, a secure garden may not be essential.
More than anything, Olive wants somebody to be as faithful a companion to her as she will be to them. To apply for Olive, please read the Adoption Process on the website, and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
Adelle is a dream dog, we absolutely love this gorgeous, gentle lurcher. She has a very soft nature and will make a fantastic pet.
Adelle is around 2 years of age and is very easy-going. She is fantastic with all dogs, large or small, and it would be lovely to see her in a home with a companion dog. She has the cutest little zoomies when she’s happy and she makes us all smile with her silly bursts!
Adelle walks nicely on lead but sometimes lacks confidence when being walked away from where she feels safe. We send her out on roadwalks with plenty of volunteers but she need cajoling and encouragement when she’s alone. Walking with another dog – no problem! Whoever takes Adelle will need to go slowly and help her get over any shyness.
Adelle is very clean in her kennel, she is gentle and polite around food, she loves her bed! She is also one of the few lurchers we would consider rehoming to a home where there is a cat, her nature we feel is too soft to pose any real threat.

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.
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
Daisy is a 4 year old Jack Russel
Daisy is a very intelligent jack russel & while she can have moments of high energy she also loves cuddling on the sofa. Daisy has done dog agility & loves playing with a ball (she will do all her tricks for a ballie) Daisy loves walks on a beach or anywhere near water as she loves to swim. She has great recall & will never wander more than 20m away from you. Daisy loves her comfort & will steal a blanket on the back of a sofa and snuggle up with it.
Daisy is suited to a home with teenagers & above as she has curled her lip up at a younger niece when she tried to hug her too much. Daisy is toilet trained on dog pads but also if people are home she will go to the toilet in the garden. Daisy loves humans more than dogs and will only react if they get too close. Daisy also isnt a fan of cats as her prey drive kicks in when she sees them. Daisy would be suited to a home where she is the only dog as she will want to be the centre of the family.
