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.

Meet Sam ❤️

Are you looking for a sighthound that enjoys long hikes and walks that can jog and keep up to an active lifestyle... Then Sam is the sighthound for you !

Sam arrived to us from Laois Dog Pound after he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed. Suffering from bad skin, mange and old marks, and scruffs, he hasn't had the best of lives .. But that's all changed now !

Sam is now castrated, fully vaccinated and microchipped, and even has his own passport so he can travel abroad to a new home.

He is a happy socially confident young dog ( about 2 years old ) who wants him and his humans to have lots of adventures and snoozes on the couch !

His ideal home will be:

• Either an only dog or with some female dog friends

• no cats

• he loves trips in the car

• Pup cups, yes, please !

• He is more of an active sighthound

If you'd like to give Sam the home, he's always wanted, then please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Yesterday, we were able to travel to PAWS Animal Rescue Ireland to help them with some of the dogs they currently have ...

We were delighted to be able to offer rescue space to 5 dogs -

Alex the pointer ( you all know our love for the pointers!) Sadie the Labrador x ( who gave us a little run around on her adventure last night!) Skipper the gorgeous lurcher and Dan + Chris the greyhound brothers .. .....

They will all be up for rehoming shortly as they are a seriously lovely bunch .... ❤️

Here's to the future and rescues working together ❤️

Meet Burr ❤️

Burr arrived to us from Clare Dog Shelter after he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed.

Burr is a 2-3 year old mixed breed - possibly German Shepard x Collie .. maybe some samoyed in there as well .. who really knows .. what we do know is he is a large fluffy doggo who needs a forever home 🏡

Burr has been to our vets and is now neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped.. He does need a groom as his coat is quite impacted, so we will try to arrange that .. we are working on brushing through it .. his new home will need to be aware that his coat will need maintenance going forward.

Burr is a happy fella, he can be quite shy and wasn't used to walking on a lead on his arrival, he is getting better every day and more confident with having collars and harnesses put on.

His ideal home will be:

• Patience to help him settle and get used to his new life - we have no history on him prior to entering the pound .. but from what we can see and presume, he appears to have been an outdoor dog that didn't receive much training

• No cats

• Ideally, another dog to learn from and play with - He loves the ladies, so a female would be great, but he can live with males as well with no issues

• Older kids or teens - purely due to him not having had much socialisation around smaller kids and them not understanding invading his space

• A home that enjoys their walks - he is a mix of active breeds

• He has been passported to travel- however, this will take time to clear, so initially, we are looking for Irish home applications.

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

Meet Corcra 💜

Corcra arrived to us as another failed racing greyhound.. not fast enough, she joins the long line of Greyhounds desperately seeking rescue space so that they can start their new lives. Her relation Kitty arrived only a few weeks ago to us from the same trainer after she was brought to the vets to be PTS because she wasn't fast enough either.

Corcra got lucky and joined us .. She is just over 19 months old ( DOB 25.10.2023 ) and is now looking for her forever family ❤️

Corcra gets on well with male and female dogs of all sizes ( still sensible introductions required around smaller breeds ) she walks brilliant on her lead, is now crate trained and is a happy social little one who loves a biscuit 😍

Her ideal home will be:

• With or without another dog- she would enjoy a friend to play and learn from, but it's not a deal breaker

• she can live with dog savvy kids and parents

• a sunny garden to snooze in

• not a family that enjoys long walks - 20- 30 mins of a walk ( split into 2 ) is enough exercise for this girly... she's not one to pound the pavements.

Corcra is now spayed, fully vaccinated ( including passport ) wormed, defleaded, and has had a dental.

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

Meet Thor again 💔

Returned after 13 days in his trial home- no fault of his - he was living with multiple small dogs, fully crate trained - and "a perfect dog" - quote from family - despite all of that hes back with us again looking for his own forever home.

Thor is a 1 year old German Shepard male who arrived to us from Dublin City Dog Pound after he was sadly surrendered by his family due to him barking in the back garden and neighbours complaining.

He spent 4 months in the pound until we spotted him and offered him space, and he arrived to us to start his new life.

Thor has been stressed in kennels in the pound, so he hasn't been holding weight like he should, but now that he's in a quieter environment and relaxing and having a good sleep, he's improving .. He is loving his leg stretches in the field and is a happy young social German Shepard who now needs to move to the next step in his journey, and that's his own forever home 🏡

Thor was castrated prior to entering the pound ( not ideal ), but it doesn't seem to have impacted his growth.. He is fully vaccinated microchipped and up to date on his worming and flea treatments.

Thors ideal home will be:

• with another dog, he loves them and the company.. and another dog will help burn his energy

• experience of the german shepherd breed - they were bred to guard their homes and families, and this behaviour may appear once hes settled and established in his home.

• He is an active young dog and will require exercise

• As a restricted breed, there are rules around his ownership

• he is great on the lead and in the car

• he has started his crate training

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

Meet Peeta ❤️ ( RESERVED- previous adopter)

Peeta arrived to us from Clare Dog Shelter after he was surrendered in as his breeder couldn't keep or sell him.

He is now 16 weeks old and has started his vaccines in the pound ... he will be due his second vaccine in 2 weeks, and we would love to get him into his forever home on a foster basis until he can have his second vaccine and be officially adopted.

Unfortunately, at this time of the year, we always find it hard to get foster homes with hoildays and busy lives going on and it's unfair for a puppy to be spending his time in kennels when he should be in a home 🏡

Peeta is a black Labrador.. he is a big boy and will be a large active adult dog. He has passed a preliminary cat test here, so I could live with a dog savvy cat. His ideal home will be:

• With another dog to show him the way

• He can live with a dog savvy cat 🐈

• dog savvy kids and parents

• An understanding that he will be a large active 40kg + adult dog and 15-year commitment.

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

Meet Owl – The Wise, Wonderful, Wiggly Lurcher ...

Some of you may recognise him, and that's because he's one of Birdies pups born here last August and rehomed in October 2024 and subsquently returned in April 2025 due to lead reactivity and having snapped when putting on a harness.

His family made contact with us in April, and we met him and put a plan in place, which included muzzle training, back to his crate and a martingale collar and 3 point harness, unfortunately when being put into the harness at home he snapped and was returned.

Owl arrived back into our care as a highly strung, absolute nightmare .. He spent 3 weeks decompressing and relaxing and getting himself together before our work with him started.

Owl now walks in his 3 point harness, he knows he cannot escape a martingale, and is now comfortable with general handling, clipping leads on and off, putting collars and harnesses on, and muzzles and being a good dog.

With love, patience, and snacks (his favorite - food is life💚), Owl has BLOOMED in such a small amount of time.

Hes been castrated, and was brilliant at the vets and has now moved to another foster home in the last few weeks where hes been walking in various areas with no issues, he strolls through cities, parks, playgrounds, cafés and shops like he was born for it. He’s house trained, adores other dogs, and loves to learn.📚

Owl already knows a bunch of tricks and sits politely for his breakfast. He’s even showing signs of being cat-friendly! 🐱

He’s the whole package:
✔️ Smart
✔️ Sweet
✔️ Snuggly
✔️ Dog social superstar
✔️ Car friendly (just needs a confidence boost on jumping in!)
✔️ A real cuddlebug to everyone he meets - owl does not know what the word stranger means 🤣

✨ Everyone who meets him falls in love. Our foster home has never gotten so many compliments out and about 🤣 Now he just needs someone to fall in love with him forever.

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

• Ideally with another dog - he adores to play

• He is cat workable/ cat safe - again this depends alot on your cat !

• Older kids / teens

• He can live in the city

Please pm to start the process🙏

Meet Sally ❤️

Sally arrived to us from Laois Dog Pound after she was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed. She is a 18 month old lurcher who is a soft, sweet little one ❤️

Sally is now fully vaccinated microchipped and neutered. She walks well on her lead and is so gentle that anyone could walk her. She is great in the car and is an ideal first-time sighthound ❤️

Sally is now looking for her own forever home with the following requirements:

• With or without other dogs, she gets on well with other dogs, male or female, so could live with one.

• She can live with dog savvy kids and parents

• She can not live with a cat

• she has started her crate training

As like all of our dogs, they are a 15-year commitment, sit down, and have the conversation at home to ensure everyone is on board *before* you apply to offer a home.

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

Jess made the trip to the UK last week to her forever home with Ellie and family ❤️

Jess arrived to us after she was surrendered by her owner. She was the tiniest little collie we have had in a long time and was an absolute superstar during her time with us.

Happily, she's gone to live in the UK with Ellie, who runs her own business as a dog walker at so we can't wait to see all the adventures Jess gets up to and follow along her journey ❤️

Once again, thank you to everyone who played a part in her journey to her forever home 🏡

Happy forever home, Jess 🏡

Meet Creed ❤️

Creed is French Bulldog who arrived into our care after being advertised free to a good home on Facebook with his female companion ( who was in season )

Such is the saturation of the market now breeders literally are trying to give these ex breeding dogs away.

Happily, Creed & Pebbles both arrived to us and got their vet work done, neutered vaccines restarted and wormed and defleaded and are now looking for their own individual forever homes.

Creed is currently in foster and is getting on great. He walks well on his harness, is crate trained, and is a happy social young dog. His DOB on his paperwork is 21.12.2021, making him just 3.5 years old.

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

• With or without another dog

• He can live with dog savvy kids and parents

• An awareness of his exercise limitations being a brachehellic breed

• House or apartment living

• No cats - he has failed his cat test

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

MISSING

Graffin, Clonmore, Templemore, Co Tipperary

These 2 cats are gone missing from Clonmore, there was apparently TNR ongoing in the area ( not carried out by us ) and one of these was confirmed as trapped, but released back but has failed to show up at home. The other calico has vanished and unknown if it was caught in the TNR attempt.

Both were already neutered, and the owner wasn't aware TNR was ongoing in the area.

The owner is desperate to find them as both are pets.

Please contact the page or the number on the post.
