Since 1990 we have taken in many unwanted dogs and cats and a variety of other animals.
(492)

We spend our lives doing our very best caring for them, rehabilitating some and looking for loving homes for those that can be homed. We are a non-profit organisation. Throughout the years we have homed hundreds of dogs and cats. We’ve rescued many animals from horrific situations that we still can’t comprehend and many of these dogs and cats are now sitting by their owners feet in a house or runn

ing happily in a park chasing a ball and are the apple of someone’s eye. Sadly this isn’t always the case and sometimes we won’t ever succeed in rehoming. We have a strict NO-KILL policy and take this very seriously. Any animals that can’t be rehomed for whatever reason will become permanent members of our ASH family and we will care for them for the rest of their lives. We can’t stress enough that this is not an invitation to offer/bring us dogs that are not suitable for homing. We’ve survived until now on the generosity of friends, donors, volunteers and sponsors but right now we, like everyone else are very seriously struggling to keep our head above water and care for the animals that are already in our care. Ash Animal Rescue would like to sincerely thank the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, for the continuous support and allocation of public funds to our organisation. The received funds assist Ash Animal Rescue in its continued services for Animal Welfare in Ireland. Ash Animal Rescue will continue to need the support of the general public to maintain operations at an effective level and would appeal to the public to continue to give their support in any way they can when required.

Talk about a 'rags to riches' story 😍

Little Bhishma (Tyson with us) spent a year in kennels being overlooked time and time again - fast forward another year and he's on his holidays in Valencia with an adoring family who haven't looked back! ☀️

The length of time a dog has been in rescue is no reflection on the sort of dog they are! Take a look at some of our long term dogs and you might find yourself as lucky as Bhishma's owners!

We'd like to say a very big 'thank you' to all of you who have made such generous festive donations recently! The animals are feeling the love! ❤️🎄

To those who have come visiting with items for the animals, those who have anonymously donated via PayPal, and those who donate via standing order who we never get to meet - We thank you all so much! Your support is so appreciated, and essential to carry out the work that we do, at this time of year as well as year round 🐾

Remarkably, Pippin is still available! ❤️

Pippin is a 10 year old border collie who was surrendered to us recently following the passing of his owner. He's such a fantastic dog and we really can't say enough positive things about him - it's comes as no surprise that he's a fan favourite here in Ash!

He walks beautifully on the lead, loves playing fetch in the field, gets on well with other dogs and loves people, is fantastically well behaved for grooming and is just an all round 'top lad'!

He needs a cat-free home, and can live with teenagers upwards. It's worth noting that we have found him very placid with everyone he's met of all ages here, but we were told that he doesn't like children - this isn't something we've seen any sign of but in the interest of responsibility, we won't home him with young children.

If you can offer Pippin the committed and loving retirement home that he so deserves, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer him with as much relevant detail as possible and including your phone number!

Meet Pippin 🩵
This absolute gentleman was sadly surrendered recently following the passing of his owner. He's a 10 yr old border collie.

Pippin is a pleasure to have around. He walks really well on the lead, loves playing ball and is just such a mannerly dog!

He gets on well with other dogs, but does chase cats. We've been told that Pippin doesn't like children - although we have no info on the context of this, we've seen absolutely no hint of aggression of any sort from him towards anyone, but to stay on the safe side we'd ask for a home with teenagers upwards!

Pippin's coat was in dreadful condition on arrival so he has been fully clipped off (on the bright side, we now know that he's a total gent for grooming too!). He's also unfortunately obese, which is doing him no favours at the moment - to prevent this from happening again he'll need an owner committed to a strict diet and regular exercise - he'd benefit so much!

If you can offer Pippin the committed and loving retirement home that he so deserves, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer him with as much relevant detail as possible and including your phone number!

Most will know we've rehomed huge numbers of bassets over the years and the breed has a very special place in our hearts - the BASSET HOUNDS OF IRELAND group have kindly organised another charity Basset calendar in aid of Ash Animal Rescue again this year. Last year's was a huge success!

If any of our basset-loving supporters would like to go along, meet a great number of bassets and pick up a charity calendar, details are posted below! 🐾❤️

📌📌 Booked - Thanks for all the interest 📌📌

Handsome Teddy is still looking for a loving home to call his own! ❤️🧸

Teddy was originally surrendered to us due to sad circumstances outside of his owner's control. He's a 14 month old English Cocker Spaniel and has been an adored pet up until his surrender.

He loves people and is an absolute cuddle monster. He'll need an active home that can offer him plenty of mental stimulation and exercise. He's good with other dogs out and about when introduced.

Unfortunately as is the case with a huge number of cockers, Teddy is inclined to resource guard high value items (treats/toys he deems to be very special). This can be resolved with patience, time and positive training, but it will need to be managed in the meantime to set him up for success (ie giving him his own space to eat, trading high value items for a higher value reward if needed rather than just taking them etc). For this reason he'd be best suited to an adult only home as the only pet. A home experienced with cockers/dogs who RG would be fantastic - but not essential (an open mind and a willingness to work with him not against him is more important!).

If you can offer Teddy a loving happy ever after, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer him with as much relevant detail as possible and including your phone number.

Feel-good Fridays! 🐾

What a fabulous update from Sonny the foxhound adopted nearly 2 years ago, living his best life with his pal Mikko and loving all his off-lead walks!

Our best girl Apple enjoying a run in the morning fog ☁️🍎

Apple was callously dumped by her owners when she was only 6 months old and has been with us, searching for a home ever since. She's now 14 months old and we really desperately want to see her in a home of her own.

She's initially very withdrawn and nervous of new people (understandably!!), but she does warm up with time and we can guarantee you her love is more than worth the effort! The effort and patience you put in will be returned tenfold, and as is the case with almost all dogs - being in a loving home environment will be the making of her!

She's good with other dogs and would be happy to live with another dog, she's unbothered by cats here in Ash, so could live with a dog-savvy cat. She can live with teenagers upwards but would find young children a bit scary! There's absolutely no malice, but she would find the chaos and excitement quite jarring for the moment.

If you can offer Apple the loving home she so deserves, please send us an email to [email protected] describing the sort of home you can offer her with as much relevant detail as possible and including your phone number to arrange an appointment.

Thank you for all the interest in little Tigger! He has a viewing booked for tomorrow so is no longer available. We had dozens and dozens of enquiries - who would have thought a dinky 17yr old would be so popular! We unfortunately won't be able to reply to everyone individually, as there simply isn't enough time in the day. But we do appreciate each and every one of you - there were so many fabulous applications who we would have homed him to without a second thought ❤️
