Bán’s foster mammy is heading away next week, so we DESPERATELY need to find her forever home by Sunday😰!! Please help us get the word out about this sweet-pea! 🙏🙏

Bán is a gorgeous little Patterdale Terrier, around 2 or 3 years old, who came into our care after being found straying in really poor condition. She was covered in fleas and had sore patches on her face and neck💔 Thankfully, she’s now safe, getting all the care she needs and feeling sooo much better. And what a lovely little dog she has turned out to be🥰

Bán absolutely ADORES people and is a total little cuddlebug. She bonds quickly, loves getting fuss and attention, and is happiest when she’s keeping her humans company💕

She’s also good with most other dogs and loves a good play, but she is a lively little terrier, so any doggie friend would need to match her energy! She’d also be very happy as an only dog, as long as someone is home for most of the day to keep her company. Bán hasn’t met cats, so we’re looking for a cat-free home.

After everything this little girl has been through, we’d absolutely love to see her settled into a safe and loving home of her own. If you live anywhere in Ireland and think Bán could be your girl, please fill out our adoption form below:

Peggy is feeling a bit sad because nobody wants to adopt her😭, so she’s hoping you can cheer her up today💕 We thought it would be lovely if you could share some photos of your own rescue doggos. It’ll show Peggy all the happy endings out there, and give her a little hope that her loving family is out there somewhere too🥰

So please drop your pics below, tell Peggy to hang in there, AND give this gorgeous girl a big collective share! All these things will really help her to get seen this week🤞🏡💕

Peggy is a big, lovable 3-year-old Staffy-cross with a HUGE personality. She absolutely adores her people and is such an affectionate, playful girl who loves nothing more than getting plenty of fuss and attention🥰💕 Peggy gets along great with the dog in her foster home, so she would be happy to have a doggie friend in her forever home. She would also be very happy as your one-and-only, of course – just think of all those cuddles she’d have to herself! 😆

Peggy is good with children, although she’s a big, lively girl, so we think older children aged 12+ would be the best match for her. She’s not suitable for a home with cats, but she’s been chilled out around livestock on her walks, so a rural home would be no problem🐑🐄

She’s a clever girl and is now almost fully house-trained. Her lead manners are still a work in progress, so her new person will need to be strong enough to handle her while she continues learning. She’ll also need a secure, enclosed garden, as this adventurous girl would be only too happy to go exploring! 😆

Peggy has so much love, fun and affection to give, and we’d absolutely LOVE to see her finally get the happy ending she deserves🥰🏡💕 If you live in Ireland and think Peggy could be your girl, please fill out our adoption form below:

Sadly, Peggy had zero interest after her first two posts here💔😔 It’s such a shame, as she’s such a fabulous, friendly, cuddly girl. Can you all help Peggy today and give her a big share to help find her forever home? 🙏🙏🙏

Peggy is a big lovable Staffy-cross who absolutely adores her people. She’s affectionate, playful and full of personality, and she’ll happily soak up all the fuss and attention going🥰💕

She’s around 3 or 4 years old and is doing really well in her foster home. She has a doggy friend there and the two of them have become great pals, so we think she’d enjoy having another playful dog around. That said, she could also be very happy as your only dog, getting all the cuddles to herself😆

Peggy is good with children, although she’s a strong, lively girl, so we think older children aged 12+ would be the best fit. She’s not suitable for a home with cats, but she has been absolutely fine around livestock while out walking, so a rural home would be no problem for her🐑🐄

She’s a clever girl and is almost fully house-trained now. Her lead manners still need a bit of work, so her new person will need to be strong enough to handle her while she continues her leash training. She’ll also need a secure, enclosed garden – Peggy is an adventurous gal😆

Peggy has so much love and fun to bring to her forever home, and we can’t wait to see her in a loving family of her own🏡💕 If you live in Ireland and think Peggy could be your girl, please fill out our adoption form below:

🥰 Beautiful Bán 🥰
This sweet little Patterdale Terrier came into our care a few days ago, and we’re starting the search for her forever home. Can you help us get the word out? 🙏🐾

We think Bán is somewhere between 2 and 3 years of age. The poor girl was found straying at the start of this week in such a sad state, with sores on her face and neck and covered in fleas. It’s heartbreaking to think about what she may have been through💔 Thankfully, Bán is now safe and getting all the vet care and TLC she needs from her fosterers. She’s feeling much better already, and now we want to find this lovely girl the safe, happy home she should have had all along🥰🏡

She’s the cuddliest, friendliest, most people-focused dog you could ever hope to meet! Bán loves everyone she meets and bonds quickly and strongly with her people. She’s clearly just delighted to be around people and soak up all the love and attention she can get💕

She’s really great with other dogs too and just wants to be everyone’s friend! Her bouncy playfulness can be a bit much for lower-energy dogs, though, so we’d like to find her a home where any doggie housemates can match her terrier energy🐶🐾 Since she’s so people-focused, she would also be delighted to be your only dog, provided someone is home for most of the day to keep her company. Bán hasn’t met cats yet, so we’re looking for a cat-free home.

As she’s an energetic young terrier, we’d love to find her a home where she’ll get plenty of walks and playtime. Bán does need some training, as she’s still learning how to live in a house, so we’d love an adopter who can patiently teach her how to be the wonderful companion she’s meant to be. She’s bright as a button and very eager to please, so she’ll get there quickly with a little patience and guidance😇

If you live in Ireland and can offer this joyful little poppet the loving home she’s craving, please fill out our adoption form below:

Oh heyy guyzzz, it’s me, Peggy👋😆 I’m the big chunky monkey who’s looking for my forever home, so PLEASE share me around and help me find my people🙏🐾

I’m about 3 or 4 years old (I dunno cuz nobody every wished me a happy birthday before😭😭), and apparently I’m a Staffy-cross... whatever that means! I’m a very happy, friendly, outgoing gal, who LOVES people, cuddles, attention, and playtime!! 🥰

I’m having great fun with my foster fam, and I’m already besties with my foster sister! We have a great time together, so I think I’d be happy out with a playful doggie brother or sister in my new home. But I can also TOTALLY be your only dog, as I’d love getting all the cuddles to myself!!😇

I’m very good with kids too, although I’m a big girl and sometimes I get a bit carried away with my joyful enthusiasm, so older kids over 12 would probably be best for me. Cats are definitely not my thing though, so no kitties please! 🙈

I’m actually a pretty clever girl and I’m learning lots. I’m nearly there with my house training and I’m working on my lead manners too. I am a strong girl though, so I’ll need someone strong to walk me while I’m still learning. And I’ll need a secure garden too, because I do have a few ideas of my own about where I’d like to go exploring!😆🏡

I can be left for a few hours, but I much prefer having my people around, so a home where someone is around a lot would be lovely for me. I can be a little nervous sometimes, but mostly I’m just a big, silly, affectionate girl who wants to have fun and get lots of cuddles🥰💕

So... are you my forever person? Or do you know someone who needs a big daft Peggy in their life? If you live in Ireland and think I might be the girl for you, please fill out the form below, and one of the CAW volunteers will be in touch if we could be a match!

When Rocky saw loads of applications come in he got so excited because he thought they were for him but they were for the other Rocky, the labradoodle. There were none for him😪

Its such a pity because he is a fabulous dog. He is used to family life and is really people focused. Rocky has a great temperament, he rolls on his back for tummy rubs and belly scratches😍 He loves to be at the heart of whatever is happening and us an all round great boy.

Rocky is an almost two year old Labrador x Doberman. He is being given up as the family don't have time for him since their circumstances changed. He's a great boy and deserves a great home. He doesn't live with another dog but loves playing with them. He is not cat tested. Rocky would suit a family with older kids.

Rocky is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered.

If you are interested in adopting Rocky please fill out the attached form
