Clare Greyhound Sanctuary

25/06/2025

We’re so grateful to the Irish Independent Clare for highlighting our fundraiser and the challenges we’ve been facing at CGS.

It means so much to see support spreading beyond our circle. Thank you to everyone who’s donated, shared, or sent kind words — you’re helping us keep going. 💛🐾

Clare Greyhound Sanctuary has issued an urgent call out to their supporters for donations through GoFundMe.

25/06/2025

We’re incredibly grateful to share that we’ve hit our €5,000 target — and it’s all because of your support. Every donation, share, and kind word helped get us here, and we can’t thank you enough.

That goal was set as the minimum we needed to pull CGS out of the red — to cover urgent vet bills and get our van back on the road. But as anyone who runs a rescue knows, unexpected costs are always around the corner.

So while we’ve reached the target, we’re keeping the fundraiser open a little longer. Any extra funds will go directly toward keeping things running smoothly and covering whatever surprises the van (or the dogs!) throw our way.

If you still want to donate, it will go a long way — but know that just by helping us reach this point, you’ve already made a real difference. Thank you for standing with us.

We’re running a fundraising raffle to help cover mounting vet bills and much-needed van repairs — and we need your support.

💛 Every ticket sold helps us get back to rescuing greyhounds and caring for the dogs already in our care. Things are tight right now, and this raffle could make a huge difference.

🛍️ Prizes have been kindly donated by , , , .art — and a few treats from us too!

Can’t buy a ticket? A share means just as much. Thank you all for always showing up for the hounds. 🐾💚

This is Sonia — a very special girl, somewhat of a long time resident of the Sanctuary. She’s sweet, gentle, and so affectionate she’d probably crawl inside your chest if she could.

Like Coinneach, Sonia was only hours away from being put to sleep — the unfortunate fate of many greyhounds discarded in Ireland when they’re no longer wanted. Thanks to your support, we were able to step in and give her a second chance.

We’re now over €3,300 into our €5,000 fundraiser, and we need your help to keep going. Please consider donating or sharing — every bit helps us save more lives like Sonia’s. 💛

This is Coinneach, a beautiful, horse-sized greyhound we were only able to rescue because of your support. He was hours away from being put to sleep, like so many greyhounds discarded when they’re no longer “useful.”

Please consider donating to our fundraiser if you haven’t already. With your help, we can keep saving more greyhounds like Coinneach. 💛

Our gorgeous Tyreek celebrates midsummer by moving in with his very own family. This stunning boy has been absolute pleasure to have here and we hope he will give his family as much joy as he has given us. Have the best life, darling. I'm sure Ella and Hugo will guide you from the bridge.

Suki and all the other hounds here would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated to.our appeal. We know we are asking for a lot and your generosity is both heartwarming and humbling. Please keep sharing the appeal, it does help. ❤️

We hate to ask, but we really need your help.

Our rescue is under pressure — vet bills are piling up, our van is out of action, and monthly donations aren’t covering basic costs. We’ve had to pause taking in new dogs until we can recover.

We’re trying to raise €5,000 to get back on our feet and keep rescuing greyhounds. If you can help, even a little, it would mean the world. 💛

SORTED thanks to Nora.

The dog food delivery will not arrive until tomorrow ( it was supposed to be here yesterday). Is there anyone in the neighbourhood who can bring me a sack of dog food to feed the hungry hoards today? Please...

Eleven years ago, Eileen took this 11 year old greyhound from the pound, and brought her to me. We named her Nell. She had had one litter at the age of nine. A messy C section. Why anyone would breed a nine year old is beyond me. Nell was a darling. She loved basking in the sun, snoozing on the sofa and just pottering around. She got pain meds for her achy hips and back and for a few months she was sprightly and happy. But one day her back went out and I had to let her go. Even though she was only with me a few months, she left the greatest imprint. Her happy dance, her grin, her sheer contentment. Happy Gotcha Day, Nell, wherever you are. You are still missed. ❤️

Suki was born in 2021 and has finished racing. She is an extremely pretty, brindle girl who also happens to be a velcro dog. Suki loves human company to the point we're she would prefer to be physically attached to you. She is now starting to move around on her own, but never too far, and if I'm out of sight for more than 45 seconds, she will come running. She will also greet me with wild jumps every time I let her outside. Because she is so physical, Suki is not suited to a home with smaller children.

Hectic morning with our gorgeous Tone setting off for Germany and his new life. We will miss this happy, friendly boy, but he has a family waiting for him. Safe journey, sweetheart ❤️
Many thanks to Pam for getting Tone to the transport. 😊
