We do not rehome dogs over 8 yrs of age because the change in surroundings can be distressful. These dogs live happily at the sanctuary in safe and warm surroundings with constant companionship. Other dogs like Hope have had
a very traumatic start in life and cannot be rehomed. To help cover the costs of veterinary care and food for these particular sanctuary residents we have established a sponsorship scheme. This is the ideal solution for those who love animals but are not in a position
to actually adopt a dog. When you sponsor you will receive a portrait as well as a short biography for your chosen dog. You can visit the dog at the sanctuary, bring toys or treats and take it for walks!!!! Below are some of the dogs we have available for sponsorship. If
you would like to sponsor a dog, download a Sponsor Form or contact us.
Sponsorship is €50 per dog per year |

Dougal (as in the Magic Roundabout) is a male Labrador, and as you can tell by the hairs on his chin, he's approximately around 8 years old. He has settled in well with the other dogs. He has the energy of a puppy!

Barbie is a female cross(spayed). She landed at sanctuary 5 years ago after being thrown in over the wall!! She is friendly and is
very photogenic. Shy at first therefore needs some extra care. She has recently been trained on the lead by Ellen after lots of patience and trying.
