Louie is a young small male Lurcher. He was picked up running outside Charleville. He had very bad mange and was starving. He is now on the mend and looks very handsome. The mange has mostly all cleared and his coat is a lovely white with big brindle patches. He is exceptionally friendly and would make a great companion for anyone. He is still waiting to be neutered but has had all his shots and has recently been wormed. He is ready to go when he is neutered.

Oh Schumann, how can you summarise such a lovely dog in just a few short words? This handsome chap is only ten months old. A very kind student called Roz noticed him sitting outside the local college library all day. It certainly was a smart move on Schumann's part, as Roz phoned us to take Schumann into our care. Schumann has the sofest, cuddliest coat, and he loves being rubbed and having his ears stroked. He's a complete teddy bear who loves people and just wants someone to be his best friend. He travels well and enjoys the company of other dogs. We just can't say enough nice things about this gentle boy! To find out more about him, please phone Ann on 087 2744896. Schumann will be neutered and vaccinated before going to his new home. A homecheck is required.

This handsome boy is Roscoe. He is a Collie/Spaniel X aged between 2 and 3 years old.

He is very gentle and affectionate and loves lots of attention. He also gets on very well with other dogs. As you can see he has 3 legs but this does not slow Roscoe down at all. He loves going for walks but short walks suit best. Roscoe needs a cat free home. He is neutered and vaccinated. For more information please contact Paulines Rescue.

Click on the thumbnail for a larger image | Paddy
Paddy is a very friendly neutered male dog who loves being around people the whole time. He likes playing, going walks and any kind of fun. He would suit someone that wants a devoted animal because he always wants to be inside with the family. Paddy is a very expressive dog as you will see by the photos, as he was looking unsure of himself with the camera, so his ears are down! Paddy would suit a family that want a dog to live indoors and be an active member of the family. Paddy needs to be rehomed due to his owner going to work abroad.

Click on the thumbnail for a larger image | Raven
This is Raven, a mostly all-black female greyhound. We think she is around 18 months old. She is very friendly and wants to play with everyone. She is in a large pen with two other dogs and gets along well with both of them. She would love to find a forever home and with good care, and a good brush to get the old winter coat out of her she will be very pretty and a beautiful shiny black. She will have her shots, worming and spaying done in the next few weeks and will be ready to go to a new home. Poor Raven, her only fault is that she is yet another greyhound that does not make the grade and is not fast enough to go on to a racing career.

He is begining to trust us and we would like to find him a very understanding owner who will love him and give him a great home where he will never know another day of cruelty. Please call the number below for more information on Brand.UPDATE: Brand is becoming a really outgoing boy who enjoys play time with the local boys who visit him and he loves his walks.

Click on the thumbnail for a larger image | Mischa
Mischa is a delicious Border Collie puppy. She's just eleven months old. We'll try to be balanced in our description of this gorgeous girl, as we really are quite smitten! Mischa is a typical collie pup, all wriggles and giggles! She is super-friendly and loves attention. She's also bursting for a nice long run through the fields and someone to teach her a trick or two! Border Collies are very smart and athletic dogs with a strong working drive. They can develop bad habits out of boredom and frustration if left to their own devices for long periods or if given insufficient exercise. We feel Mischa is going to be a super pet for the right person. We would like to place Mischa with someone with knowledge of the breed and who can devote a lot of time to fulfilling Mischa's needs for exercise and mental stimulation. She will need a securely enclosed garden. Mischa will be spayed (neutered) and vaccinated before going to her new home. For information on Mischa, please phone Ann on 087 2744896.

He travels well and enjoys the company of other dogs. He is in excellent health and will be neutered and vaccinated before going to his new home. Our vet will also give his teeth a clean and polish, so he'll have a bright smile for his new owners. For more information on Rocky, please phone Ann on 087 2744896 or email us.

Sylva is a pretty greyhound of a most unusual colour and we have never had an all white greyhound before. She has tiny light brown spots on her ears but other than that is totally white. She is three years old and has never raced. She is quiet and a bit shy but once she gets to know her new owners she will come out of her shell. She is getting more friendly every day. Sylva needs to gain some confidence and that will happen with all the wonderful and friendly care she is now getting. Already she is getting much better and is not so shy. She comes up to you to be petted. She will have all her shots, worming and spaying done in the next few weeks. For more information on Sylva, please phone Rosie on 022 24008.

Click on the thumbnail for a larger image | Klepto
Klepto is a very unusual looking chap. He's quite tall, with long straight legs, and Spitz-like ears! He's certainly a head-turner. Klepto gets his name for his funny habit of borrowing bits and bobs and bringing them into his bed! Klepto is just ten months old - and still very much a puppy at heart. He has a smashing temperament - he is very sweet and absolutely loves attention and human contact - in fact we think he would do best in a home where he wouldn't be left for long periods, as he's much too sociable! Klepto is very good with other dogs and travels well - he is as quiet as a mouse in the car! He's a medium-sized dog with a good dollop of collie in the mix, so he does need an active home where he'll get lots of walks. Klepto is one of those go-anywhere, do-anything kind of dogs - a great all rounder! He'll be neutered and vaccinated before going to his new home. For more information on Klepto, please phone Ann on 087 2744896.

Bella is a very elegant Foxhound with beautiful markings. We estimate she's approximately eight years old, possibly even ten years old. Bella has been in the care of one of our volunteers for the last eighteen months and is now at our sanctuary and waiting to find her forever home.

Bella has very soulful eyes, that would melt the hardest of hearts. She's very sweet, placid and affectionate. She greets new acquaintances with a dignified calm, and enjoys the company of other dogs. Our volunteer tells us however that she is not great with cats! Bella is easygoing and would love a kind hand to rub her, a warm bed for snoozing and some nice walks. She is spayed (neutered) and fully vaccinated. To find out more about this special dog, please phone us at the sanctuary on 087 6371044 or 063 91110. A homecheck will be required for Bella.

Tootsie is a brindle Boxer, approximately five years old. We have nothing but nice things to say about this lovely dog. She is sweet, placid and easy-going. She is sociable with people and mixes very well with other dogs. We've also discovered that she's clever and obedient - while telling another dog to sit, we turned around to find Tootsie sitting perfectly! The same thing happened when we told another dog to lie down! At some point in her life, someone put a lot of time and effort into Tootsie, and it shows. Tootsie is thin at the moment, but with good food she is rapidly gaining condition. She has a bit of an underbite, with a permanent toothy smile. We find this very cute! Tootsie has started on her vaccinations and will be spayed before going to her new home. A homecheck will be required. Please phone Ann on 087 2744896 for more information on Tootsie.
