Collie
Stanley
Introducing the very handsome boy that is Stanley. He is a Collie x approximately 1.5 yrs old. Vaccinated, Microchipped and neutered.
Stanley first came into the care of Cara a few months ago after he was found straying and ended up in the pound. It was clear that Stanley had problems with his eyesight and once he was settled into foster and given time to adjust to living in a home environment he was then seen by an eye specialist who confirmed that Stanley was indeed blind and sadly there is nothing can be done to help save or reverse his blindness. He also has cataracts but as this is secondary and not the cause of his blindness it would not be of any benefit to Stanley to have them removed.
He does need regular eye drops to keep them from getting dry or sore.
As for Stanley himself...well only that I have told you, you would never believe he is blind! He has grown in confidence since being in foster care and adapts to different places and situations although can still be nervous but with patience and reassurance he is open to exploring. Stanley just loves and adores everybody (he can get very over excited at first when meeting people and would jump up on you) but training in this area is ongoing. For this reason we would prefer older kids only (if any).
Stanley would be looking for an active home with another gentle dog as his foster mammy feels that it may benefit Stanley to have a buddy. He would not be suitable around cats . His ideal home would be with a secure enclosed space for him to explore. He enjoys going for walks. Stanley is very clean in the house and is house trained. He has come on so well and with the right person he will continue to.
Stanley is a stunning boy and everybody he meets adores him as much as he adores them
Lurcher
Abby
We want you to meet the incredible Abby, a 9-year-old female lurcher with a heart (and personality!) far bigger than she is.
Abbey first came into our care back in 2018, when she was just around a year old. She’d suffered a severely broken leg that sadly had to be amputated but honestly, it never bothered her one bit. Abby bounced back like a champ and went on to be adopted by a lovely lady, Marlene.
For eight years, Abby lived a happy, amazing love-filled life. Sadly, her owner Marlene passed away suddenly last November, As per Marlene's wishes, we took Abby back into our care.
So here we are, looking for a final forever home for this absolute sweetheart.
Yes — she’s 9
Yes — she has three legs
But this girl is unstoppable. She is has the energy of a puppy.
She is...
> Incredibly friendly,
>Great with children,
> Loves other dogs,
> Adores cuddles with her humans
You genuinely would not believe her age. Abby's happy personality is infectious.
Abby prefers the opportunity to run/ snoop or just stroll around the garden Or a safe enclosed area over a lead walk. But happy to go on lead when needed.
She’s happiest when she has a decent-sized garden to zoom around in and other dogs to play with — she definitely needs canine company in her new home, as she thrives on it.
Ideally a relatively active home where she will get both physical & mental stimulation .
After a busy day, she’s more than happy to curl up and snuggle close to any available humans!
Sighthounds love to play But they their main objective in life is to nap in the most ridiculous positions
If you think you could be the next chapter in Abby’s story and offer her the loving home she so deserves, we'd love to hear from you. Contact adoptions@cararescuedogs.ie or below is our adoption application
Terrier
Sadie
Introducing Sadie . This little elderly girl was found straying in November and spent a week in the pound. No one came forward for her so we didn't hesitate when asked, and took her into our care.
Her age is estimated approximately 15/16. She was very dishevelled and visibly emaciated on arrival. But such a sweet little lady.
She is enjoying the little luxuries and comforts provided by her amazing foster mammy Veronica.
Loving nice food and couch cuddles along with little strolls around the garden at her leisure and pace, in her winter wear.
We are looking for a similar home that can provide endless comforts. Other dogs are not an issue so long as they are calm and friendly .
It takes a special type of person to be able to offer an older dog a place in their heart & home, but the feeling you get from it...Well, when you know you know..
If you would like to potentially offer Sadie a permanent place in your life & home please contact us telling us a little bit about yourself.

Terrier Mix
Alfred
Meet Alfred 
He is a gorgeous 5-month-old pup who is vaccinated and microchipped, and now ready to find his forever home 
He’s doing really well with house training, is crate trained, and has a lovely, gentle nature. Alfred absolutely loves playing with other dogs, zooming around the garden. He enjoys his toys, food, and treats. When playtime is over, he will happily curl up on the couch with you to enjoy a little snooze.
Although Alfred won’t grow into a large dog (he’s expected to be medium-sized / knee-high), he will need daily, regular exercise and mental stimulation, as you’d expect from a terrier-type pup. Because of this, please only apply if you can commit to meeting his exercise and enrichment needs.
Alfred would make a wonderful addition to an active, loving home where he can continue to learn, play, and be part of the family, while continuing training in all aspects as all puppies should.
