Seb

Seb a beautiful Male Blue Merle collie, who was 2 in April. Neutered, vaccinated with kennel cough and House trained
Seb will be suited to a house as an only dog, active household with older children, as he is not good with small children. Not great with cats, he barks at them.
He is indoors by night and most of the day with access to the garden, he loves been outside and sitting on the step and watching the world go by.
He loves his cuddles and snuggles, and will give you the most beautiful licks, he is so affectionate.
Seb is so much fun, full of energy and also loves to curl up and have a good sleep too. He loves company and will follow you around the house to check what you are up to and offer his help and advice!
He loves his toys, maybe too much if they have stuffing, but keep the outer shell after the stuffing is gone, he has more fun with this part!
Seb is food motivated, which has been fantastic for training, and boy is he so clever. He picks things up so quickly and understands. He loves to learn.
He walks well on a lead, might pull a little for the first 20 seconds, but settles quickly and will trot away and sniff. Now if we pass other dogs, he does not mind, as he knows he will get a treat. We have done a lot of training with Seb over the months and have seen the positive rewards from this by working closely with a trainer. He is so easy to train and eager to learn.
He will sit before his walk, sit before food, sit before treats.
He does play and interact with other dogs, but may need a bit of time to be best friends, but his human is his best friend in his eyes.
He loves his food and carrots, and Lickit mat, this a lovely treat that he will happily enjoy on his own. You will not need a vacuum cleaner in your home anymore 😊
Seb knows his name so we didn’t change it, and he has excellent recall. If he gets out for an explore, he comes back/home very quickly.

Spot

Spot is just over 3 years old.  He is neutered, chipped, and has a passport.  Spot is looking for a new home because his companion dog is not allowing him to interact as he would like with his family.
Spot has a very playful and energetic personality, is very loyal and loving. He loves cuddles and strokes, loves water, loves trail-running or running along with the bike on harness. He’s OK ish with cats, tolerant but not besties!
Spot, like a lot of collies, likes to have outlets for running and burning his energy.  A home with plenty of space or access to fun walks would be ideal.
He could live with children 12+ as long as he initially has a bit of time and space to ease into his new surroundings.  A secure area in the garden may be required depending on how rural his future home is.
If you would like to apply for this lovely, gentle, loyal dog, please fill in our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals

Ruby

Ruby is a lovely 5 year old Rottweiler x Labrador. Due to the ill health of her owners she needed to be surrendered into our care.

Ruby is a happy, attentive companion who walks along gently on onlead walks, while also having plenty of bounce and fun on field walks.

She is used to being the only dog in her home so we hope to find her a similar situation again. That said, she has taken many walks with other dogs here at the rescue, always greets them nicely and plays enthusiastically.

Ruby could live in a home with children 12+.  A secure garden is preferrable, a cosy bed is a must!

Daisy

Daisy is a very tidy-sized collie.  She is approximately 18 months of age is doing very well here in WCAWG.  She was surrendered to the rescue as she wasn’t suitable as a working dog.

Daisy loves the love.  She is obsessed with hugs and cuddles and we know that in her future home her owner will be the apple of her eye!  She has wonderful recall when she is off the lead – any excuse to be near you! – and walks ever so gently on the lead.

Daisy shares a kennel and takes walks with plenty of dogs here at the rescue centre.  Meeting dogs is no problem at all but we still envisage she might do best as an only dog in the home. This is largely because she is so human-focused that we don’t want any jealousy issues to arise with a companion dog.  However, if you do have a mellow companion who would be happy for Daisy to steal a fair portion of your attention this could also work.

Daisy is a nimble, agile, clever little lady who doesn’t have any tendency to bark or be destructive.  She will make the most loyal companion for somebody! If you think you could be that person, please do fill in our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals

Bruce – reserved

Bruce is a very mellow and happy 2 year old Golden Retriever.  His family had to surrender him to our care due to a lack of rental homes on offer that will allow pets.

Bruce is a very straightforward dog – no jumping up, lovely with other dogs, walks nicely on lead and is used to walking on harness and halti. He is also terrific off the lead, stays right next to you enjoying the moment.

Bruce unfortunately is carrying too much weight on his young body.  His new home will have to commit to establishing a dietary regime that will help him to shed some pounds over the course of the next few months so he can have the longest, healthiest life possible. With this, exercise will need to build up incrementally taking longer and longer walks, or more and more playtime, as his weight evens out.

Bruce could live with children, other dogs or cats.  To apply for this happy, gentle lad please read our adoption process and fill in our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals

 

Ella – reserved

Ella is a 4 year old Shihtsu x Maltese who came into our care as her owner was no longer able to care for her. She is looking for a fairly active, child-free home.  Initially Ella will be cautious around people but if you take it at her pace she warms to you quickly. Once she loves you, she really loves you!

Until her arrival at WCAWG Ella led a reasonably sheltered life, as a result she can be wary of new situations – again future owners must be prepared to take things slowly and gently with her.

What has been very interesting is to see how much she enjoys the company of other dogs.  If possible we would love to see her in a home with a canine companion who can show her the ropes and enjoy fun play sessions with her.

Ella enjoys cuddles but is not always great for handling.  Her hair can grow knotty and her skin (detailed below) can occasionally get inflamed so if she is in discomfort she will let you know! For this reason we are looking for a child-free home.

Ella has a minor skin condition that has been improving since we treated her for possible parasitic infestation as well as giving herbal baths to soothe her itchy skin.  There is no medication or special diet needed but owners should do a soothing, cleansing bath every couple of weeks to keep her skin in good condition. We will provide details of this herbal bath product.

Moe

Moe is a terribly handsome 4 year old male collie who is looking for a rural home.  Moe is not particularly high-energy but he really enjoys his country walks so we would like to ensure he continues to get these in his new home.

Since arriving to the rescue he has really settled nicely, becoming much more interactive with people and other dogs. He would do well with a female companion dog in his home, he loves sharing his walks with other dogs – nicely playful and interactive.

Moe can be wary of strangers, we would like a quiet home where he has the space to keep to himself when visitors come by. For this same reason we would like an adult-only home for Moe.

Moe is an incredibly clean dog, but we are not sure that he has ever lived in a home before.  He never messes his kennel at the rescue but owners can take it that most aspects of living in a house could be new to him.

A secure area on your property for him to be in when owners aren’t there is preferred.

Secure garden is a must. If you are interested in adopting Dolly please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals
