It’s Black Dog Day todayđŸ–€đŸŸ so we’re putting our adorable Rossy in the spotlight😍! This poor lad is certainly suffering from a case of Black Dog Syndrome – where black dogs are overlooked in rescue. So he really needs your help to be seen by as many people as possible – please give him a share🙏🙏

Rossy is about 2 years old, and we think he’s a lovely Labrador crossed with a clever Collie. He’s the most people-focused dog you could ever hope to meet: he’s affectionate, cuddly and happiest when keeping you company! 💞

This lovely boy has been out and about meeting people on his daily walks, and he wins hearts wherever he goes with his boyish charm!😁

Rossy isn’t too interested in other dogs, and would be happiest as the only dog in the family. The resident dog in his foster home annoys Rossy a bit in his attempts to play. That said, he’s perfectly polite when he meets other dogs on walks! As he hasn’t met any cats, we’re looking for a cat-free home for him too🏡

Rossy is already housetrained, knows his basic commands and has fantastic recall. He’s a beautiful, affectionate fella with so much love to give, and we can’t wait to see him finally find his forever home! If you live anywhere in Ireland and would love to offer Rossy the forever home he so deserves, please fill out the form below:

It’s Black Dog Day

We have some lovely news to share with you on Black Dog DayđŸ–€đŸŸ This is Ali, a gorgeous lurcher gal who came into our care a few weeks ago. Our wonderful fosterers, Sinead and her daughter Derartu, had been hoping to adopt a petite sighthound from us, so we got in touch with them straight away!!

Needless to say, they fell head-over-heels in love with this affectionate girl, and Ali has found her forever home with them in lovely Limerick! 🏡💕

Like many lurchers, Ali is a dream dog – she’s gentle, easy-going, quirky and SO cuddlyđŸ„° After the difficult life she had before coming into our care, we’re so happy to see her being pampered and surrounded by all the love and care she deserves😇 And we’re also delighted that it took no time at all for us to find her forever home – because black dogs (and especially black sighthounds) are so often overlooked in rescue💔

And if you’re considering adopting a gentle lurcher like Ali, have a look at our post about Molly from earlier today, and our post about Rayna from last nightđŸŸđŸ’—

Or if you’d love to celebrate Black Dog Day by welcoming a beautiful black dog into your life, we’ll be posting Rossy again this evening... stay tuned! đŸ–€đŸ‘€

FOSTER HOME URGENTLY REQUIRED FOR PUPPY

Cookie is a six month old lurcher puppy without a home. She is a super sweet little thing, small for her age and under nourished. Cookie is gently playful and would be happy with another young playful dog.

We are looking for a temporary home for little Cookie. She is microchipped, vaccinated and wormed.

We are looking for a foster home in Clare, Limerick, Galway or Tipperary.

If you can help with this urgent request please send us a DM🙏

This gentle beauty is on the lookout for a loving family, and a soft couch to call her own. Can you help us get the word out about our amazing Molly?🙏

There’s something very very special about MollyđŸ„° She has the calmest, most peaceful nature, and being around her is just... relaxing😇

Molly is a 3-year-old Saluki-Lurcher, and her fosterer describes her as a fantastic, calm dog who is incredibly affectionate, cuddly and relaxed. She’s wonderful with other dogs, and friendly with all the people she meets too. Her serene nature also makes her excellent with children. Like many saluki-lurchers, Molly is just one of those lovely dogs who brings a sense of joyful calm wherever she goesđŸ„°

She walks nicely on the lead, travels well in the car and is almost fully house-trained. She enjoys her strolls, and she LOVES lounging about and keeping her foster dad company around the house. Molly hasn’t met any cats yet, but we might be able to organise a cat-test for the right applicant.

If you live in Ireland and you’re looking for a gentle, serene companion to enjoy peaceful walks and relaxing cuddles with, you couldn’t ask for a better companion than our Molly💕 You can fill out the form below:

This gentle beauty i

This handsome young lad was adopted from us earlier this yearđŸ€©đŸ’ž His name is Yoshi, and he’s been living his absolute BEST LIFE with Eamon and Maria in County Tipperary!! 🎉

Yoshi has just made it through to Round 2 of Petmania’s Puppy of the Year. We would absolutely LOVE to see one of our rescue dogs win the competition, so please give Yoshi a vote if you have a moment to spare:

This perfect pup was found abandoned when he was only 6 weeks old, along with his brother Snow, so it’s so incredible to now see him happy, healthy, and totally cherished😍! Yoshi even has his own Insta page now, which we’ll pop in the comments in case you’d like to follow his adventures!

And if you’d love to have a gorgeous, cuddly, playful lurcher like Yoshi in your life, please see Rayna’s post on our page from last night!
