This is Blackie. He is 16 years old and has been an indoor dog all his life. He is housetrained and loves walks and the outdoors. He is very hard of hearing but good eyesight. He can sleep a lot during the day on and off . He is excellent around other dogs. Would suit couple in retirement or adults that are home a lot of the day. Excellent with the elderly. Not suitable for kids.

Wishing to re-home blackie to a kind , special loving home that he can spend his last few years with. Prefers a calm , relaxed environment.

He loves company and lots of love.

Please get in touch if you or someone you know thinks they can give Blackie a loving home for the time he has left 🩵

You couldn't make up the timing on this rescue! Late last night, we received a call-out for a deer that had fallen into the river near Ballisodare. This poor fella was exhausted but had enough strength to stand, and as he was on the riverbank, it was initially decided to let him have time and space to recuperate. Today, however, he hadn't advanced, and upon close inspection, it was apparent he has suffered some injuries, likely from being hit by a car before entering the river. He was retrieved and is now under our care. We will be keeping him warm and feeding him up as we assess him for further injuries.

A massive shout-out to for getting in touch with us and helping with every step of the rescue. We would also like to thank Kamila and Maja for watching over him and for naming him Angus. We are very hopeful for Angus' rehabilitation and that he'll be back with his family in time for Christmas 🎄🦌

We will be launching a Gofundme tonight to help us cover our rescue costs - animal food, fuel, veterinary costs, etc - link in bio. We are 100% self funded. Please feel free to donate (every little helps!) or share - we sincerely appreciate your help 💚

This morning, we released our Swan from last night's late rescue. We will be monitoring him to make sure he continues to thrive, and hopefully, there won't be any more severe winds to blow him wayward before he has gained more valuable flying experience. Thanks again to all who got in touch 🦢

Tonight was a late night call out for this young Swan who crash-landed in a back garden due to inexperience and the intense fog. Thankfully, he hasn't sustained any injuries and should be ready to be released back to his natural home tomorrow. Pending another welfare check in the morning, he will hopefully be reunited with his family again. Thanks to everyone who got in touch to help this beautiful animal. 🦢

Whilst we have had to take a step back from rescuing for the past number of months following the arrival of our little lady, today we were called to help out an injured fox by Megan who was in dire need of a quick rescue and veterinary treatment. Thankfully, he was very easily secured and brought to Crowes Veterinary Clinic, who were able to see to his injuries and start him on a dose of antibiotics. We are very hopeful that this lovely chap will make a full recovery 🦊

We are delighted to have finished the Nature/Wildlife Trail we designed and developed for in Riverstown.
This information trail gives people the chance to learn about our local wildlife and how to get involved in helping biodiversity at home.
It ranges from the importance of the river Unshin to wildlife observed in and around it, the importance of pollinators to natives bats, owls, and other creatures often overlooked.
This will be a great addition to both the region as well as Sligo Folk Park and hopefully will be able to be utilized by local schools to aid in their curriculum.
A massive thank you to Sligo LEADER Partnership Company Ltd for funding this project and to Ballast Signs for delivering such great signs.

This handsome fella is looking for a home! He's currently with loving owners who adore him, but simply don't have the time to train and walk him as much as they'd like to due to their recently added addition to the family 👶

He's 5 months old, very affectionate and energetic. He has a very friendly temperament and we would love to help find him a new home 🩵

If that could be you or you know someone who would be interested, please DM for more info
