Star Rescue CLG RCN 20204765 CHY 22574

established to enable prevention and relief of suffering for animals (primarily the domestic dog, domestic cat and feral cat). Star Rescue CLG is based in Limerick but is not limited to this county. Star Rescue, through a network of dedicated individuals, assists abandoned, sick , injured and unwanted animals. Animals in the care of Star rescue will receive

appropriate veterinary care and be assessed and prepared for loving homes. Star Rescue CLG aims to fulfil this commitment for Irish feral cats colonies through the process of trap, neuter , return (TNR). All animals have an intrinsic value and should be treated with respect and dignity and protected accordingly. Our rescue community is engaged internationally in animal welfare concerns. We also aim to assist in the improvement of animal welfare internationally by providing food and related vet care cost assistance in the case of poverty, war, climate change and natural disasters. This is done either directly by Star rescue or via funding of in-situ organisations at the frontline. Star Rescue, promotes and supports the activities of similar minded animals welfare bodies within Ireland and internationally. Our story began in 2016 with a injured dog we named hope who was abandoned and left to die suffering in agonizing pain in a local housing estate. The dog we named Hope united a small and dedicated group of volunteers who decided there was a need for a animal welfare organisation in West Limerick. In 2016 successful application granted by the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine to allow export of dogs who found it hard due to age or breed stigma to get a home here in Ireland

In 2021 €3000 Animal Welfare Grant Funding was received from the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine. In 2022 €12,350 Animal Welfare Grant Funding was received from the Department of Agriculture Food and Marine.

As we say goodbye to 2025 and mark 9.5 years in Rescue, we’re so proud 💛

It hasn’t always been easy. There have been highs and lows, tough days and harder decisions, but looking back thousands of lives have been changed because we chose to care 🐾

To our fosterers and volunteers, you choose to give your time, your homes, your hearts. You are incredible.
To our families and friends who support us (and tolerate us when rescue takes over our life 😅) thank you.
To our amazing vets who give our animals the very best care every single time, we couldn’t do this without you 🩺🐶🐱
To the pounds we work alongside, thank you for trusting us and working with us to give those another chance.

In 2025 alone, hundreds of dogs and cats were neutered, cared for and homed, because of teamwork 🤝

Our collaborations with UK, Italian and Swedish rescues continue to be a lifeline built on trust, shared values and friendship. Together, we are stronger than ever 🌍

Rescue is not something we have to do, it’s something we choose to do. And together, we change lives ❤️

Here’s to another year of compassion, teamwork and hope.
Happy New Year from all of us at Star Rescue ✨🐾🎉

🎄🐾 Dexter’s First Christmas 🐾🎄

This handsome boy was rehomed in the UK earlier this year and has just enjoyed his very first Christmas with his forever family 💕
Safe to say he fit right in… especially with everyone in matching pyjamas 🥰

Dexter came to us from Carlow Kilkenny Pound, and seeing him so settled, loved and part of a family is exactly why we do what we do. ❤️🎄🐶

❄️🐶 St Stephen’s Day Adventures 🐶❄️

Today, Troy (from Dublin Pound) and Rocky (from Carlow/Kilkenny) enjoyed a well-earned run at Beale Beach Co Kerry, wind in their ears and sand under their paws 🐾

It was a little chilly for us humans… but that didn’t bother these two one bit! Typical spaniels they’re always up for an adventure.

Both boys are loving, affectionate, great with other dogs and children, and will be available for rehoming in January. We honestly can’t understand how anyone would give up on these boys.

We know 2026 will be their year, the year they find families who will love them forever💛

Spaniels aren’t couch potatoes they’re loyal, fun, and full of life, and in the right home they make the most incredible companions.

Your forever families are out there, boys… we just know it 🐾✨

Meet Milo 🎄🐾

Milo is 8 years young and arrived into our care earlier in December. Due to lack of space, he spent a little time in boarding kennels, but we were able to bring him back to HQ and we’re delighted to have him 🥰

Milo is a big lad and yes… he needs to lose a few pounds (won’t we all after the week 😂), but that’s a job for the new year. For now, it’s Christmas, and Santa is on the way 🎅🎁 Who knows, he might even bring Milo a new toy – because this boy loves his toys 🧸❤️

Milo was surrendered after living his life in a small back garden. He deserves so much more, and we’re hopeful that the new year will bring him what he truly needs a loving home, comfort, and companionship 🏡✨

For now, Milo is safe, warm, and on Santa’s good list 🎄🐶

🎄 Meet Dan 🎄

This handsome little mixed terrier came into our care earlier in December after being surrendered, as his owner could no longer keep him. At the time we were very tight on space, so Dan spent some time in boarding kennels but we’re delighted to say he’s now back at HQ and we’re really getting to know him properly 🐾

Dan is settling in well. His lead training is coming along nicely before this he was used to rambling around the town on his own, which was part of the reason he was surrendered. He’s now learning that walks can be calm and structured, and he’s doing great on his harness 👏

He’s brilliant with children aged 11+ and absolutely adores our youngest team member here at Star Rescue who’s 11 the feeling is very mutual 💕 Dan is a friendly, affectionate boy who just wants to be part of a family.

Dan is vaccinated and will be looking for his forever home in the New Year. He can also travel to the right home in the UK 🇬🇧

For now, Santa 🎅 will be paying Dan a visit tonight with some well-deserved goodies

Merry Christmas from Dan and all of us at Star Rescue 🎄✨

🐶🎅

✨ Elsa’s Happy Ever After ✨

Elsa came to us having clearly had many litters being a mum over and over again , to finally being someone’s baby herself

She completed her vaccinations, was neutered, and then the most important chapter began… finding her own forever home. And what a home it is 🏡

Here’s what her new family shared with us:

“We are all besotted with Elsa 💕 She is settling in really well in her new forever home & is loving her warm bed, cuddles, and woodland walks. Thank you so much for all the wonderful work you do. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas 🎄”

🎄🐶
