Tip is a lovely affectionate Jack Russell who is almost 2 years old. All of his veterinary work is up to date. He is looking for a new home because he gets over excited around the young children in his house so we would prefer either an adult-only home for him.
Tip would do really well in a rural active home. He is terrific both on and off the lead, really reliable and absolutely loves his walks. Tip is also used to living within a home and is perfectly house-trained.
Tip enjoys the company of other dogs and meet and greets really nicely on walks. He would probably prefer to be an only-dog because he is dying to bond with an owner so we don’t want any jealousy issues over attention.
If you are looking for a fun and affectionate walking-companion look no further than Tip, he will be a wingman for life for the right person or couple! To apply for Tipp please fill in the Adoption Questionnaire and we will be in touch. A Home Visit will apply.
Mousey is a beautiful, fluffy black-and-white female cat between 3-6 years old. She came into our care as a frightened feral cat and is still very nervous and unsure around people.
She’ll need a calm, quiet home with someone patient and understanding who can give her the time and space to settle at her own pace. Ideally no other pets.
Mousey has had some health issues, and the vet has noted a heart murmur. She has been vaccinated, wormed, and spayed.
Her ideal home would be rural, away from busy roads, where she can safely explore outdoors once she feels secure.

Littel Felix is a young femi feral cat looking for a home of his own,
Unfortunately this little lad was caught at an age that might be a little too old to tame up to be a cuddly domestic pet but you never know! In the meantime we are looking for a safe shed or barn with a cosy bed, ideally with a few playmates where he will be cared for & fed regularly.

Ive been minding Misty for the last year. I think he was just barely fully grown when he arrived. I would guess less than 2 years old. He’s neutered and a bit tame. He’s quiet a small compact male. Black with just a small barely there white dickey bow. He is an outdoor cat, but is very interested in coming in doors, he rolls over and shows us his belly and gives us leg rubs, hes a bit cheeky.
It would be very easy to fully tame him I think, he is a character. But for us he was always an outdoor passing through cat. Unfortunately he is not a sociable with my other rescue cats, and my 2 indoor cats, he can be aggressive to the other cats. He would be suited to a house where he is the only cat. I think he has a lot to offer as a solo family cat,
Wendy and Suzie have been at our rescue centre for over 7 months, since Sept 2025. They have very special needs but deserve a chance at a calm, safe, comfortable home.
Brief history – these two were living alone in a wooded area having been dumped there. It took 3 weeks and a team of volunteers to finally trap them. They were matted and terrified – our assumption is that these were 2 breeding bitches whose services were no longer needed.
Wendy, the younger one on the left of the photo is about 5 years old and the braver of the two. Suzie is around 9. We assume they are mother and daughter, they are completely co-dependent, we cannot split them up.
We can’t really touch Suzie. If we corner her in a confined space she will submit to handling, grooming etc, but she will never ever approach you. Wendy is better – after a spell of getting to know you she will allow cuddles, belly rubs and loves being picked up for a good hug.
Neither dog will walk on lead in spite of months of practice and encouragement. Their miracle home will need a secure garden and an owner who has little interest in walks or excursions. They would live happily in someone’s garden with access to a warm, comfortable shed / garage initially, with the hope that they will gain the courage over time to come inside the house to sleep and interact.
Graduating to living within a home will take time and patience. They are curious so we would advise giving their meals near an open back door where they will eventually poke their nose in and choose to spend time inside. But for starters a cosy shed or garage in a secure space would be absolutely fine – better than they have ever had.
If you would like any more information about Wendy and Suzie please send a message to 086 8500131 and we will call you back to discuss them further.
Bruno is a 15 month old male mixed breed (Spaniel x Terrier) who is absolutely tiny! No larger than a small dog and he is already fully grown.
This is a very biddable, well-behaved little lad who absolutely loves his walks both on and off the lead. At first meeting he can be a bit shy or anxious but we already know that he has been passed around between a couple of homes before coming to us so any uncertainty is absolutely understandable. He will need a committed home who will put time into gently acclimatising him to friendly people and happy places.
Bruno walks nicely with the other dogs at the rescue centre and really seems to enjoy pottering along and playing with them. He loves toys and treats and keeps himself entertained for short periods with them.
We would prefer Bruno did not have long leaving hours, especially if he is an only dog. He travels very nicely in a car, he is well house-trained and he is an all-round easy dog for a happy, encouraging home.
Dog-savvy children would be fine with Bruno, and a secure garden is preferrable for this lad.
If you would like to apply for Bruno, please read the Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
Sami
Sami is a large 2 year old female maine coon.
She is a people person and would thrive in a busy house hold with plenty of company.
She is very friendly and really affectionate!
Sami is looking for an experienced home, preferably with some previous experience of the breed.
Her coat will need regular grooming and maintenance, as she will be very prone to matting.
She has only lived as an indoor cat, so indoor only, with plenty of space and lots to do to help keep her stimulated.
Kids 12+ only, as she is an extremely large and playful girl
If you think you provide this gorgeous girl with the perfect home, please read the adoption process on our website and fill in the adoption questionnaire

Tiggs is a beautiful young ginger male cat.
He is lovely and friendly and enjoys
his rubs. He is friendly with other cats and is looking for a cosy indoor home with access to outside once he is used to his surroundings.
Tiggs would be best in an adult home with older teenagers.

Ruby is approximately 18 months of age and is a sweet, soft-natured girl. Her home will have to have a secure garden because she came into us due to regularly escaping from her previous home.
Ruby is a little nervous meeting people for the first time, but if you allow her the teeniest bit of time and space she just LOVES you! She is affectionate, gentle and always willing to please.
Ruby loves playing with and interacting with other dogs here at the rescue but she does tend to bond quite hard with her handler / owner so would probably settle best as an only pet. Opportunities to keep her sociable, by taking walks with other dogs or meeting them out on fun-filled walks, would be great for her.
Ruby could live with children 10+ (we would say even younger except for the need to take it gently at the start), she will need a secure garden and she definitely needs a cosy bed! She is never destructive and she is always so clean in her kennel.
To apply for this most lovely of dogs, please read the Adoption Process on the website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
Bella is a dinky 9 year old terrier mix who would make a great companion pet in a quieter home.
In terms of a history, we know that up to about 4 months ago she was owned by an older gentleman who could not keep her. Another person took her but Bella didn’t gel with her own dog, so now Bella is here with us.
For her first days here, Bella was a bit wary of the team and volunteers and was unsure about handling. We have seen such a difference in just a couple of weeks – she is becoming much more relaxed and expressive – looking for attention, climbing up on our laps!
Bella has plenty of pep in her step still. She loves going on lead and taking walks, she loves chewing on toys or chasing after balls – but not bringing them back! We walk her with dogs here and she shares a kennel with another dog, but Bella will likely do best as a single dog.
An owner who will give her a few days to find her feet in a new home and a bit of space to win her trust, will be rewarded with a fun, happy companion. A secure garden is a must and ideally not too many leaving hours.
If you would like to apply for Bella, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
