we are based in Tipperary, Ireland. It is solely run by volunteers, and worked completely from their homes, that they have opened up to love, care for and rehabilitate any animal that comes in to their care. They work together for the animals in their care, but also for

the future of animals in all of Ireland. Tipperary, but we are happy to help any animal that we can. we have a very strong network of people and we work alongside a qualified and professional positive dog behaviorist/trainer. We are a small group of people hoping to make a difference. Please note: all photos that appear on this page are the property of the Haven Rescue Tipperary and The Haven Rescue Tipperary Limited.

Meet Shep ❤️

Still no home offers for this wonderful fella 😢

Shep arrived to us from Dublin County Dog Shelter after he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed.

He is a Collie x German Shepard ( we think ) and only about 10- 12 months old. Hes since been to our vets as we had some concerns about his hind legs and his movement ( despite him being a happy dog and well able to play rough and tumble ) there just wasn't something quite right.

He attended our vets, and they found 2 teeny tiny testicles ( we missed them 🤣 ), and unfortunately, there were some issues with his hips and hocks .. purely down to bad confirmation ( being bred from badly bred parents ) and a mix of bad genetics ( German shepherd x collie ) and bad nutrition from his previous life.

Sadly, there's nothing that can be done surgically.. this is a management of him and his lifestyle for his life. We have started making improvements such as puppy food, exercise, and the decision not to castrate him until older ( or potentially not at all ) to allow him to grow and use his hormones for muscle development.

We are now looking for a forever home for him with the following requirements:

• With or without another dog ( this dog must be okay with sharing the home with an entire male ) and obviously no unspayed females.

• An understanding that he will need to be kept fit and walked.

• no cats

• dog savvy kids and parents

Shep already has multiple things going against him, male, black, collie x gsd, and now bad conformation in the mix.

He is an amazing dog who loves his walks, his people, and trips in the car. All he now needs is someone to love him.

If you think you can offer him a forever home, please pm the page to start the process.

NO MORE APPLICATIONS - WE HAVE HAD 68 APPLICATIONS FOR ALFIE SINCE WE POSTED HIM WITH A CHILD, AND AFTER HIS GROOM, WE HAD NO APPLICATIONS FOR HIM PRIOR TO THIS....

WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH APPLICATIONS IN THE COMING DAYS AND GETTING BACK TO PEOPLE

Alfie has been with us now over 9 weeks 💔 and not once has this loveable oaf shown one of the behaviours that he was surrendered for.

He is sharing in a multiple dog household, perfect with the cat, fully crate trained and is excellent with being told to get off his bed.

He spent the night with Anastasia and family where he got groomed and he was a perfect gentleman.

Alfies DOB is 09.12.2022

Alfie is a Poodle X Cocker Spaniel who was surrendered into our care due to the inability to manage his resource guarding around the human bed and his jealously towards the other dog in the home.

However since being in our care, he has had no issues with other dogs ( and attended doggie day care in his previous home, and there were no issues either )

Alfie is now fully crate trained, something that we would advise a new home to continue with use to manage his resource guarding should it reappear. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutured, and is good to be groomed.

He is looking for a forever home with the following requirements:

• Ideally, experience of the breed - Cocker spaniel x poodle are active dogs and not lazy lay abouts as portrayed by the puppy farmers that sell them.

• A commitment to a grooming schedule

• Teenagers or older kids in the house

• He is great in the car. He is strong on the lead, but this can be worked on.

• He can live with a cat 🐈

If you'd like to offer him his own forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Clonagh is still searching for a forever home 💔

She is back from foster and has absolutely thrived in her foster home and is a new dog ! Thanks to the very experienced and capable hands of Tracy and family .. all it took was someone with the time and patience to give her the love she never had ❤️

Clonagh is the last of the 5 Brittany Spaniels that arrived to us from Laois Dog Pound back in January of this year after being removed from a breeding establishment in Nov / December 2024 ( Barley and Brinley rehomed, Doo, Danby and Clonagh still with us )

Unfortunately, all 5 were unhandled adults who have taken their time to become used to handling and acclimatise to their new normal.

Clonagh is the smallest of the 5 weighting in at 10- 12kg .. she is a funny little dog .. super confident and cheeky at home, she is now happy to go walking with her friends aswell ..

Clonagh, love in life is biscuits and treats, and for those, she will do anything and take them from your hands all day long .. she has learned to walk on a lead and is brilliant in her harness.

Clonagh is looking for a forever home that will continue to work with her and help her become the best version of herself.

Her ideal home will be:

• Ideally with another dog

• no cats

• a fully secure garden

• she is crate trained

• understanding of nervous dogs - but the ability to not treat them as nervous dogs and work with them

If you'd like to offer her a forever home please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Lola is a 18 month old Labrador Reteriver whose family was being evicted, If they didn't rehome her, they are truly heartbroken at having to surrender her into our care

2 fabulous dogs that will soon be looking for their own forever homes 🏡

Lexi the lab 💓

Lexi is a 7 year old Labrador Reteriver who arrived into our care from Clare Dog Pound after she was surrendered because she killed a rabbit when she was offlead in the field.

Lexi was a very sad lab when she arrived but as the days have gone on she has turned back into a happy silly lab who just wants a human to love .. She is still a spritely girl and loves her walks, water, and a good run about but is then very happy to relax in her bed in front of a cosy fire.

Lexi has had a few litters going by her undercarriage.. but that is all behind her now as she is spayed. She gets on well with other dogs, male or female, and is now looking for her own forever home with the following requirements:

• With or without another dog 🐕

• No cats or small furrys

• She can live with dog savvy kids and parents

• she is a typical lab and likes the water and to roll in a mucky puddle given the opportunity 😂

• she is crate trained

If you'd like to offer Lexi her own forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Kendrick still hasn't had any home offers - and his brother Lamar sadly had his home cancel 💔

Here are some words from his foster home:

✨ Meet Kendrick! ✨

Kendrick is a handsome jet-black pup with a heart full of love and just the right amount of mischief. Think of him as a little ninja—you might not see him in the dark, but you’ll definitely feel the zoomies coming your way! (A reflective collar is a great idea for those late-night potty breaks.)

This boy is bursting with energy and joy, always ready to play with his doggy pals. Cats? They don’t seem to faze him one bit. When the fun winds down, Kendrick transforms into the ultimate cuddle buddy, happiest lying at your feet and soaking up the love.

He’s learning his manners—especially with his habit of jumping up to say “hi!”—so his forever family will want to keep up with that training. The good news? He’s crate trained and has his own clever ways of telling you when it’s time for a bathroom break (a little cry when he’s crated or a pacing dance when he’s out and about).

Kendrick’s perfect match will be an active family who loves playtime as much as snuggles, and who can keep helping him grow into the amazing, well-mannered dog he’s meant to be.

Kendrick is now looking for his own forever home with the following requirements:.

• He would love another Dog friend
• Cat safe - currently in foster with multiple cats
• Dog savvy kids & parents - currently in foster with a child
• crate trained - we would advise to continue it 💗

If you think you can offer him a forever home please pm the page to start the process 🙏

No home offers for our wonderful girl Chloe 💔

Chloe is a 4 year old Border Collie who arrived to us from Laois Dog Pound after she was picked up as a stray after she was hit by a car when out straying that left her with a broken front leg.

Thankfully, she received treatment in the pound and had the bones in her leg plated back together and is now on the road to recovery.

Chloe is now about 5 weeks post op and is now fully weight bearing on her affected leg, she is still on lead walking and is now building up her exercise we are taking applications for her as she could continue to heal in a home.

Chloes ideal home will be:

• with or without another dog - ideally a nice male, but she could live as an only dog either

• dog savvy kids and parents

• she is crate trained

• no cats

• Chloe is passported so can travel to a new home

• she adores spins in the car - despite being hit by one it hasn't made her fearful - Her dream would be to sit in the passengers side and drive all day long.

If you'd like to offer her a forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Papì and his ladies had their first day with toys yesterday and it was a huge hit ❤️

Papì is still searching for his own forever home 🏡

Papì arrived to us a few weeks ago after he was surrendered in by his owner / breeder as he had a hernia, which he was passing down to his puppies ..

Papì is a 2-3 year old male Jack Russel Terrier.

He arrived to us and he went straight to the vets to have it repaired, it was a much more complicated surgery than we expected as his intestines had slipped into places they shouldn't have and he was a bilateral cryptorchid aswell just to keep things interesting for our vets 😅

Happily, all has been successfully repaired and put back to where everything was supposed to be, and he is now castrated as well.

He is a happy little fella who loves his humans, and he is adjusting well to his new world. He is learning to walk on a lead and is being crate trained as well.

He is now looking for his own forever home with the following requirements:

• he can live with or without other dogs
• he is crate trained
• he will need more practice on lead walking
• an understanding that he was a puppy farm stud dog, so pup cups and coffee shops are new, and he will need slow and steady introductions to his new life.

If you'd like to offer him his own forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Meet Axel ❤️

Axel is a 10 month old Lab mix (maybe some German Shepard with the ears ? ) who arrived to us from Clare Dog Pound after he had been given to the neighbours after his original family couldn't keep him due to moving abroad.

Axel is a young, happy, and active mixed breed who is looking for a forever home and a family who enjoys the outdoors and their walks.

Axel is only 10 months old, and in those short 10 months, he's had 5 moves ... his "breeder" we use that term loosely, his first family, his second family, to the pound, and then to us in rescue .. hopefully, his 6th move will be his last ❤️

His ideal home will be:

• With or without another dog- he gets on well with males and females

• He is now fully crate trained

• he is now castrated.

• we haven't tested him with cats, but can if a home meet the other requirements

• dog savvy kids and parents

If you'd like to offer this young chap his own forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Meet our remaining Jack Russel Terrier females who were surrendered into our care recently.

Orange - is about 2-3 years old ( RESERVED)
Coke - Is about 1-2 years old ( RESERVED)
Fanta - is about 3-4 years old
MiWadi - about 3-4 years old
Lilt - about 10-12 months old ( RESERVED)

These girls arrived to us along with Pepsi ( on trial ) and the boys Fizzy & Papí.

All the girls are now fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed 🙌 So no more puppies in their futures.. they now want a future of kind words, soft beds, and evenings by the fire with their humans.

These girls have only ever known the life of a breeding dog. They have had several litters ( except lilt ) and are shy and unsure .. they will need homes with the following requirements:

• They have all started their crate training and do enjoy having a safe space like a crate

• they can live with other dogs with no issues

• they can be introduced to cats - they have never seen cats before, so they can learn to live with them with the correct introductions.

• They will need a home that understands their history and that they won't be going for pup cups next week ..

• Lead walking and house training is all a work in progress.

• dog sensible children and parents - small toddlers probably wouldn't be for these guys but children that can understand their history and be kind and gentle with them.

If you're interested in offering one of the girls a forever home, please pm the page to start the process.

We will not be rehoming them in pairs, individual homes only, please.
