The Haven rescue was set up by a bunch of like-minded people with the same ideas on animal rescue and the welfare of animals,

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 Ballys sisters 💓

Bally, as you will have all seen on the page, arrived to us last week after a volunteer spotted him being purchased at Ballinasloe fair.. she intervened and offered him a rescue space, and his owner handed him over instead of selling him ... we also made plans to take in his littermates who hadn't attended the fair, and here they are 🥰

Meet Polar ( black and white pup fe ) Grizzly ( black with white chest female the biggest ) Sloth ( black small female smallest ) all are about 16 weeks old and their big sister Panda ( female 2 years old ) and their mom has been arranged to be spayed so thats the end of the breeding line.

All 4 have been wormed and started their vaccines. They've also all been microchipped, so its a big day for them.

These 4 are sweet, wonderful girls who are looking forward to starting their next steps towards being pets.

If you are interested in offering one a home ( on foster with view to adopt ) then please get in touch. We would love to see these pups out in foster while they continue their vet work.

Please remember Border Collies are highly active dogs and thrive on mental and physical stimulation. They are not toys that will sit around and look pretty they were bred for a specific job and you as their owner need to understand their breed to do them justice ❤️

Happy forever home Biscou 🥰

Biscou arrived to us from Dublin County Dog Shelter after he was surrendered in by his family due to a change in working circumstances.

He arrived to us as a badly home groomed job who was very upset in his change of circumstances.

He settled and began to gain weight, and then he found a family that had been searching for a dog like him for a while ... they made the trip to meet him and take him home on trial, and happily that trial has been a success and he has been officially adopted 🥰

We got these lovely photos and update from Beverly and family:

We're grateful to have found this beautiful boy 💙
I'm sure once his ears are better and he's gained a bit of weight he'll be happy here with us. He's totally spoilt already, and he's met all the grandchildren and loves them ❤️

Happy forever home big fella 💙

Bonnie 💔

Bonnie appeared on our radar after we were asked by another rescue had we space for her .. we juggled and said we did .. unfortunately, during that time, while we were rearranging things to accommodate her .. her owners brought her to another rescue where they were also full, but told that they would sort something for her if her owners could bring her home for a day or so ... Her owners agreed that at the time.

Unfortunately, on the way home, they decided to drive in the opposite direction and dump her out on the side of the road, and then continue on their way home.

That led to Bonnie being out on the road walking the road, in the dark, for almost 3 days from start to finish ... throughout those days, there were several groups of people out looking for her, but her owners weren't seen once.

Bonnie was eventually caught by very kind people, Annette and her Daughter, and kept safe until we collected her the following morning.

At that stage the level of neglect Bonnie had endured became clear, the matting, which was now soaked to the skin, her paw pads raw from walking the roads, and a terrified shut down dog who spent a week with us not eating.

Bonnie attended our vets twice in her first week with us, initially for a check up, and then that weekend after she went into her 5th day of hunger strike.

She got clipped down at the vets, and 1.7kg of matts came off ( a huge thank you to Louise ) In the last week shes started to come alive again, shes moved on from the heartbreak that her family made her endure and now shes looking forward to her new life ❤️

Bonnie is now looking for her own forever home, She is a 5 year old Collie x Reteriver and a home that has the following requirements:

• She loves her humans ❤️
• She can live with other dogs big or small
• no cats
• she needs to continue her diet to get her down to a more suitable weight
• she is good in the car just needs a little heave in 😅

If youd like to offer her a forever home please pm the page to start the process ✨️

🐾 Meet Vesper – Your Clever Country Companion! 🐾

• Collie x Terrier Mix
• Female
• Energetic & Smart
• No Cats
• 13 months old
• Irish home only

Vesper is a bright, bouncy girl looking for her perfect home! She's an energetic Collie–Terrier mix who thrives on play, puzzles, and companionship.

If you’re looking for a dog with personality and potential, she’s your girl. She has walked thought he town and city and had done well with this . While she can walk this way we think a quieter area would be more suitable.

🌿 Ideal Home:
Vesper would love a quieter, countryside home where she can stretch her legs in fields and enjoy plenty of playtime. She’d do brilliantly with other medium to large dogs who enjoy a rough-and-tumble play style, but she could also flourish as an only dog with active humans.

🧠 Training & Skills:

Extremely clever and food/toy motivated

Loves trick training and would excel with someone who enjoys teaching new cues

Crate trained and house trained

Continuing work needed on leash manners

🎾 Favourite Things:

Playing fetch (she LOVES the ball!)

Interactive games and brain work

Running and wrestling with doggy pals

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Fit:
Vesper is best suited to homes with older children or teens. She has done well with a dog-savvy 7-year-old but prefers calmer interactions and confident handlers.

🚫 Not Cat Friendly:
Vesper will need a pet-free home when it comes to cats or small furries.

Vesper is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutured. If youd like to offer her a forever home please pm the page to start the process 🙏
