Wally

Wally is a 9yr old neutered Springer Spaniel.
He acts his shoesize not his age, he has a lot of energy but loves cuddles and would make a superb walking partner or for a family with older children. He has been living with another dog for most of his life and after an introduction he should get on well with another dog.
He is housetrained and will listen to commands like ‘sit’ and ‘come’ (though he does get overexcited sometimes). He LOVES socks and finding things you thought you lost!
Wally loves to play, and is a really happy boy when a ball is involved- though his first love is exploring and sniffing anywhere he can get to.
A home in a rural envirnment where he would have a nice sized garden to explore, sniff and play ball would be perfect for him! He isnt keen on being left alone so would benefit from someone that is largely around

Barnaby

Handsome Barnaby is an approx 5 year old lurcher who came to the centre having been found straying around West Cork

Barnaby is extremely mellow, he rarely goes mad for zoomies, just jogs along contentedly around the fields.  He is a dream to walk onlead –  very mannerly, no pulling or straining.

Barnaby is fine with other dogs but we have no history for him around cats so we will aim for a home with no cats (we presume he has been used for hunting in the past). He is becoming a huge fan of a cosy bed and also of toys, he would be fine to be left for several leaving hours a day.

Barnaby’s only issue is around food.  In his past he probably needed to grab food from wherever possible and this has formed bad habits. We are working on it but unfortunately it will affect the age of children with whom he can be rehomed. Older sensible teenagers minimum for Barnaby – at least until we have him being more patient and gentle with treats and meals.

If you would like to offer Barnaby a loving home, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Morty and Dana

“🐾 Bonded Pair Seeking a Home Together – Morty & Dana 🐾
Please note: Morty and Dana are a bonded pair and must stay together. They are very attached to one another and will not be rehomed separately.
Morty is an approximately 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who has been with his owner since he was a puppy. He is affectionate, energetic, curious, and loves being close to people. He enjoys running in fields, exploring outdoors, learning basic commands, and is highly food-motivated. Morty can become vocal when left alone initially, but settles after a while. He would thrive in a home that can give him regular walks, structure, and stimulation.
Dana is a 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is affectionate, playful, and loves comfort. Her favourite things include burrowing under blankets, tug-of-war games, and digging in the garden when she suspects there are rodents nearby. She prefers having her own bed and food space and can growl at Morty if he gets too close during those moments. Dana would benefit from gentle exercise and enrichment to help keep her active and engaged.
Both dogs would suit a home experienced with terriers and able to provide routine, attention, stimulation, and secure outdoor space. They would especially appreciate a home with a large, secure grassy garden where they can safely run around and enjoy outdoor time.
They are both neutered/spayed. Vaccinations are currently not up to date.
This is a very difficult decision, and the priority is finding the right long-term home where they will receive the time, care, exercise, and affection they deserve

Tango

Tango is a 5 year old saluki lurcher who we believe was used for hunting until his owners surrendered him.  He is so beautiful and gentle, but he also gets a regular dose of the giddies which leads to vast, sprinting loops of our fields!

Tango, we believe, has never lived inside a home before.  He loves bed and will settle easily into a house, however, house-training may be something to work on across his first couple of weeks in a home.  He is very clean here in kennels since getting neutered, but it should be considered that living in a home will be new to him.

Tango does well with other dogs.  He is terrific with the females but will try to be the boss if other males are being annoying around him! We would definitely rehome him with a female dog, but a male would have to be pending a meet and greet.  Tango does not necessarily have to live with another dog, but if there is no dog in his home, we would hope there wouldn’t be too many leaving hours.  Lurchers do not generally do well by themselves for any real length of time.

Tango has never lived with children before and can be a bit grabby with food (perhaps understandably) so we would prefer a home with children 12 plus for Tango. Meanwhile, a secure garden is preferrable given that he has probably been used for hunting in the past and may have a prey drive that does not stop at your boundary! This may be negotiable depending on the location of the home offered and the efforts owners put into oversight.

We really would love to see Tango find a loving home, he is so affectionate when happy.  He is also deserves a home where he is very much part of the family rather than a hunting accessory. If you would like to apply for Tango please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Xena

We are sadly looking to rehome our nearly 5-year-old German Shepherd, Xena, due to housing circumstances.
Xena is a loyal and protective dog who is excellent with children and has been part of a busy family environment. She is okay with cats, though supervision is advised, especially around food as she can be food dominant.
She would make a great guard dog, as she is naturally wary of visitors. She can be unsure at first, but with calm, dog-friendly people and proper introductions, she settles well and builds trust.
Xena is a reactive and nervous dog, particularly around other dogs, likely due to limited socialisation during COVID. Because of this, she would be best suited to a home with no other dogs and with an owner experienced in handling reactive or anxious dogs.
She has been keyhole neutered (spayed) and is microchipped.
Xena has never been crated, travels well in the car, and is good on the lead. She understands and follows basic commands and is a clever, responsive dog. She is also very expressive—she’ll even put her ears back when she knows she’s done something wrong.
She is very alert and will bark at almost anything (even small movements like leaves or dust), so she needs an owner who understands this behaviour and can manage or train it appropriately.
Ideal home:
No other dogs
Someone experienced with reactive or nervous dogs
A calm, structured environment
Secure outdoor space
This is a very difficult decision for our family, and we are committed to finding Xena a safe, patient, and permanent home where she can thrive.

Lexie

We are looking for a loving new home for our beautiful collie dog, a 4-year-old neutered female with a rich brown coat. She is incredibly friendly, gentle, and wonderful with families, making her a perfect companion.

She is full of energy and absolutely thrives in an active environment, so she will need plenty of space and regular exercise. At the same time, she has a calm and affectionate side, enjoying quiet moments and companionship.

We are hoping to find a home where she will be well cared for, loved, and given the space and activity she needs to truly flourish.

Patch

Patch is a classic Jack Russell, he is 6 years old and in great nick having come from a very caring home.  Unfortunately Patch developed a tendency towards controlling behaviours – growling, snapping – when he didn’t get his way. In his home he learned that he could get away with not going out, or staying on the sofa by giving a growl to make his owners back off!

In the weeks since he arrived to the rescue, we have had no issue with him. Handling him; clipping on leads; sending him out with volunteers for walks; walking and sharing a kennel with other dogs – all fine.

So Patch is not for everyone, we know he may try to employ previously-seen controlling behaviours once he settles in a new home.  He needs an experienced, quieter home without people going in and out all the time. He also needs someone prepared to give firm correction if he tries to get away with anything!

Patch is a clever, loving, entertaining lad. He is very trustworthy on and off the lead and he is immaculately clean in his kennel. Yes, he needs an experienced owner, but also a home where he gets plenty of fun, encouragement and comfort.

Because of his history we will not rehome him to a household with young children.

Patch mixes really well with other dogs here.  It could be a bonus having another dog in the home where Patch more easily understands that the world doesn’t revolve around him!

If you are interested in meeting Patch please read the Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

Frost

Such a fun dog, Frost is a 7 year old male Husky.  When his owner passed away Frost was left in the same outside run for over 2 years until we heard about him. We can’t wait for this lad to have the opportunity of a fun, playful home to make up for those years without exercise or interaction.

Frost is very petite for a male Husky. He LOVES toy play and is so affectionate with people, he is properly entertaining to be around! He has his moments of stubborness and is sometimes inclined to not listen, but that is only because he finds it hilarious to wind up his person! He settles really well in his kennel, no barking or pacing, he is immaculate to care for.

Frost has spent his entire life without the company of other dogs.  At the rescue Frost meets and passes dogs nicely around the block, but when left to offlead with dogs he’s goofy, bouncy and strong. He takes onlead walks really nicely with others and he could be rehomed with another dog but it will need to be a dog who can tolerate this guy’s misguided attempts at play!

Alternatively Frost could be an only dog, he would certainly be a great family pet with children 7+. We will need a home where he isn’t left for long hours and  secure garden or space within the garden is a must. He cannot be rehomed with cats.

Could you be the person who finally gives Frost the life, love and craic he has been missing for so long? To apply for him please read our Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.

 

Ali

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.
