Little Christy came down with Parvovirus yesterday. He is a little better today having been on a drip. Both Tara and Christy are very vulnerable and have no history of care to fall back on. Hawkfield Vets are fighting hard to save them. Robbie is still in great form but we just have to watch him very closely.

These poor little dogs deserve and need a bit of luck.

Our 3 beautiful dogs taken off the bog near Athy late last week have not had it easy since then. Tara the beautiful collie tested positive for Parvovirus a few hours after she came in. We knew she was exhausted and let her have her sleep but then she refused food and we knew there was a problem. She has been on a drip ever since and is much brighter since yesterday.

Joe Boland

We were greatly saddened to hear of the passing of our long time friend and volunteer. For more than 20 years Joe worked incredibly hard to help us in every way possible. His love of animals was evident in everything he did and said. People often admired our grounds being clean and tidy at all times. All of it was down to Joe. In hard times I would go to Joe and ask him to pray for us. Joe was a man of great faith and never let us down. He was our friend and protector. We will miss him dreadfully. The world will not see the likes of him again. We ask God for peaceful rest alongside Molly for the man from Ballybofey.

Karma Waits .......

These 3 little souls were taken off the bog near Athy today. They were seen yesterday but a witness says he saw the poor collie there about 2 weeks ago but he could not catch her. This means she was there through the awful cold last week. She is pure terrified and so far she has not been able to keep food down. We want to let her rest and get warm first. A leaf weighs more than her. Her 2 buddies are eating well and are anxious but responsive. Another 3 journeys have begun. Say a little prayer for them and all the sad confused little faces who don't understand why they no longer have a home.

Don't Forget .....

These wonderful puppies are looking for homes. Only 3 remaining. They are the perfect all round puppies ... they have been socialised with adults and children of all ages. They are full of fun and adventure. They will be medium size at least when fully grown so not suitable for small children under five. They have been cared for by the very experienced Gina out in the peace of the country and are beautifully healthy and happy as a result.

A Big Thank You.

We want to thank our neighbours who needed to use crow bangers on their land. The noise has reduced so much and it is much farther away. Thank you for doing this to help us. Our dogs are in great form again. I was very reluctant to say anything because these are the people who have dug us out of the snow countless times in the past 3 decades. They pull us out of the field when we get stuck and provide us with water when we have none. I salute you good people. Some people say the old ways of helping your neighbours are gone. Not here. Definitely Not here.

From a follower:

Hello, I hope your well, I am just wondering would you mind popping up a post of my missing cat😢 he has been missing since october but I dont want to give up hope that he’s still out there😢
He has a very distinctive striped tail and has some light stripes over the rest of his body but not as noticeable as his tail, he may appear more brown than black in the sunlight as seen in some of these photos🙏🏼🙏🏼

Blind dog chases ball.

Karole is blind but still every inch a collie.

A volunteer found a ball that squeaks when you pick it up, when you throw it and when it lands. Karole loves it. Now that her Diabetes is under control and she has gained weight ... she just wants to play. She brings the ball everywhere with her. It is lovely to see her run with such confidence. We are so proud of the progress we see in all our animals here at Kildare Animal Foundation.

Sonny fought sleep for his first couple of nights with Jess and Darren. He was so afraid to be left alone again. They took turns sitting up with him and he is full of beans now with all their care and attention.

Which one more? Having taken one more again and again we had only one Foster place left and it came down to a final choice between the above dog locked in a tiny cage with no cover in a frozen garden or many others. These are choices we face every day. It never gets any easier. This little chap was made safe and well within 20 minutes of the call. That is honestly the best we can do.

Almost ready to start our walk!!!

Pure Magic Imogen wanted to take her puppies on an expedition up the fields but it was like trying to herd mice. Gina as always found an enjoyable way to make it happen. A barrow full of fun.

Rowena This beautiful kitten came to us four weeks ago. Her tail had been caught in a trap and it was almost fully severed. She had been in the trap several days. The small of decay and infection was horrible. She was so far gone with pain, hunger and thirst .... we don't think she cared what we did to her. We were not at all sure that she would survive that night. Following several interventions by our miracle workers at Hawkfield Vets she is well on the mend. This video was made 2 weeks ago. She is haring around too fast today for me to get an up to date picture. Please don't forget our animals this Christmas. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=PZG2MQFGG7SWS

Visiting 2-4pm Mon-Sun

2 weeks on and Henry (who was rescued from the M7) is doing great…here he is is trying to wake up his foster Dad Max, who is having none of it!

One week on .... Little Henry is having a better time this Sunday.

This tiny kitten was found on the M7 last Sunday by a gentleman called Joe. It was amazing that he even saw a kitten so small. He risked his own life to save little Henry. After a difficult first 24 hours Henry found his voice and his appetite. We salute Joe for his courage and all those who follow their hearts and save animals.

*Foster homes found* These beautiful little dogs were found in the Monasterevin area 3 weeks ago. Both heavily pregnant with one due to give birth in the next 10 days. The finder will keep both dogs and have them neutered. However he is not in a position to care for a mother and puppies at this time. A Foster home, a shelter space or owner is urgently needed in the next few days. Please TEXT only: (087)6261412
