*Rehoming *

Vinny is a 1yr old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped rabbit looking to find his forever home!

Vinny was found straying around the parkmore area before coming into our care,

He is the most social, sweet and loving boy who would make an amazing companion for another bunny..

Vinny will require an i door home where he will be part of the family and get to be involved in the day to day family activities

As with all our Small animals, vinny will require a living space that allows him behave appropriately and have enough room to exercise and play naturally (no cramped petshop cages or double wooden hutches)

A minimum 6ft x 4ft enclosure would be needed to allow him a safe place when unsupervised at first,

Vinny is litter trained and clean once he has settled in a new environment, but a bunny proofed room is recommended

Applications are available on our website www.gspca.ie

*New arrivals*

Last week "Johnny Cash" and "Missy Elliott"

Both found alone and in need of rescue...

J.C. was lucky to be discovered by vet Briarhill vet Nurse Orla and kept safe until he could come in
And M.E. was found by volunteers Shane and Hazel along a stretch of road and taken home with them until we could make room ..

These babies were likely left to fend for themselves by their mums, who have now likely gotten pregnant again...
And the kittens may have even travelled in cars miles away from their original destinations!

With the unpredictable weather kittens will look for anywhere safe and warm to shelter

This morning alone we have received 3 calls from people who have found kittens in their engines this weekend (and this morning) and we expect many more....

These have been the lucky ones, who have escaped unphased and unharmed but many others are being seriously injured or killed...

Vigilance is vital!

Both these kittens are still in quarantine and won't be available for adoption until all their vet work is complete

***NEW ARRIVALS***

These 3 babies wandered into a yard last week and thanks to the kindness of the homeowners were kept safe and off the road that night...they contacted us asking us to share their photos to try and find their owner but just before we could do that,an owner was found.

The next day we recieved a call from another person to say they had just had to swerve to avoid hitting dogs wandering in the middle of the road but had thankfully been able to stop and get them into her car before bringing them home.

Yes ,you've guessed it ...the same pups again !

We further learnt that these two "adventures" these puppies had been on were not unusual and they had been spotted a week earlier a few times out on the busy enough road .

So enough was enough and last Monday evening we collected these beautiful babies and bought them to the safety of our sanctuary despite the fact we have ZERO SPACE.

They are currently staying in our indoor area which is not ideal but alot better and safer than the road they were previously on.

No surprise that they were not chipped also no surprise that they had bellies full of worms ,had fleas and many ticks. Obviously pups left to their own devices ,living outdoors without secure fencing .

They are just the sweetest of pups ,approx 3/3.5 months old and we believe lab x maybe some spaniel/pointer and possibly a smaller breed thrown in too .

Two girls and one boy who have seen our vet ,started their vaccinations,been chipped and treated for worms,fleas,ticks.

Three happy souls who seem to be enjoying all the attention ,the regular feeds and exploring our field .

Applications are open for adoptions or foster homes.

Please remember puppies will need someone at home all day at this early stage ...they will also need toilet and lead training ...

Photos of pups in comments below ..🥰

Welcome to Heathlawn and a whole new future ...

*SIREN*

Siren came into our care a couple of weeks ago after she was found straying on fields by a local ...With no kennel space he very kindly kept her safe for a week until we could say yes .

Siren arrived extremely emaciated ,full of worms and ticks ...Whatever her previous life had been it most definitely wasn't one of love, comfort and care .

She arrived with no collar ...No chip and we had recieved no phone call about a missing wire haired pointer either before or since her rescue.

We believe Siren to be approx 2 to 3 years old .

She has slowly gained some much needed weight and has started to open up to us ...

She loves a run around the fields and walks very well on her lead ...

She has met and socialised well with other dogs on lead walks but we do see some female bossy characteristics at times(bet all the men nodding their heads reading that 🤣) but nothing more than the usual 😅.

We feel Siren would be happy as an only dog or with a male dog who doesn't mind being told what to do from time to time 😆..

She has had off lead playtime with a male dog and is abit of a tomboy so a dog who is similar in size or thereabouts ...

We have no history of Siren with young children so possibly teenagers and above .

Siren is a calm ,gentle sweet natured girl who can be a little introverted to start off but once she knows you is open to cuddles and attention (see photos below) .

Yesterday Siren went on a walk to our local marina where she walked perfectly past cars,people,bikes and was more than happy to chill on the grass and watch all the goings on ....especially the ducks!😁

Siren really does deserve a chance to become part of a family where she will be loved and kept safe always.

A beautiful soul 🥰

Siren is now spayed,vaccinated and microchipped(available on request).

*Biscuit aka Tiny *

This delightful little chap was sprung from the pound by our team just over 3 weeks ago .

The teeniest terrier puppy with a big character 🥰.

Biscuit is now approx 11/12 weeks old and whilst he may only have little legs he most certaintly has the biggest heart .

Lucky enough to have gone straight into foster with Christine,Paul and their family of 6 kids and as many dogs,Biscuit is loving every minute of it .

Your typical confident ,gutsy,playful,delightful,energetic affectionate,mischievous terrier pup who loves nothing more than a good game of rough and tumble with the other dogs and doesn't let being the smallest one there stop him from being first into the toybox or first out into the garden ...

But Biscuit also likes to wind down and he loves nothing more than clambering up onto the sofa to find a pair of human knees to chill on ...

He is a boy who just loves being involed in everything that's going on and always up for some fun.

Biscuit would love a home with another playful but kind dog or If anything only dog he must have his humans around most of the day to keep him company ...

He will need further training with lead walking and toileting but is a very clever little boy .

We see no reason why Biscuit cannot live with respectful children ,other dogs or cats once a meet and greet is successful.

Who wouldn't want this little bundle of joy and love in their lifes.

*Seamus*

2 year old terrier boy Seamus is currently in foster and now hoping for his forever home.

This small but chunky little chap is just the sweetest,funniest adorable boy who absolutely LOVES humans of all ages ...

He loves a drive in the car,loves meeting and making new doggie friends especially if they are up for a game of chase !

Seamus is housetrained and settles into his bed each night once the lights go out ...

He also LOVES cuddles on the sofa and watching tv .

He is a energetic,playful boy but once he gets his walks is happy to take charge of the tv remote and chill.

Seamus can happily live with respectful children and other dogs pending a meet and greet ..

He has no history with cats .

A forever home with someone who is at home alot as he just LOVES the company .

The perfect best friend who will love you to the moon and back ..
Always happy,always ready for some fun and cuddles.

*TODDY*

Toddy is a 2 year old Patterdale Terrier x with the biggest heart and an equally b8g zest for life .

He has been in a foster home whilst awaiting his chance to find his forever home.

His foster mum says;

Toddy is just the sweetest,most affectionate, fun boy who is very clever (sometimes a little too clever🤣).

He currently lives with 3 other male dogs though he would be perfectly happy as an only dog too as long as he has lots of human company as he just loves the attention.

Toddy has met and is very good with children ,is housetrained and lead trained though he will pull at the start of his walk in his eagerness to get out exploring .

Toddy does travel in the car but will need to wear a car harness as he does move around (very nosey).

Probably best suited to a more rural/semi rural home and he must have a fully secure garden with gates as he does have an adventurous streak ....(what terrier doesnt😁)

All in all Toddy is a fab boy full of character who will definitely keep you entertained and loved with his happy ,cheeky ways and affectionate friendly nature.

Toddy cannot live with cats or other small furries.

Please visit our website for adoption forms. https://gspca.ie/pages/pet/toddy

Toddy is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped (available on request).
