We are COMPLETELY gutted😩... We had approved a lovely family to adopt Lana, and they planned to meet her this weekend. Sadly, they’ve cancelled, so we are back to square one AGAIN with our unlucky girl😔💔 Can you show Lana some love this weekend, by commenting and sharing, to help her get seen by as many people as possible today? 🙏🙏

Lana is only 9 or 10 months old – so still a puppy really! We’re pretty sure she’s a Whippet crossed with a Shepherd (possibly a Dutch Shepherd) – what a wonderful mix! She’s much smaller than she looks in her photos: weighing just around 13 kilos.

She’s a happy, loving, energetic little gal who absolutely adores people and will happily enjoy as many cuddles, kisses and scritches as you’re willing to give🥰💕 She loves being included in whatever you’re doing and is happiest when she’s spending time with her people😇

Thanks to her Shepherd roots, she’s a clever girl who’s very eager to learn, and we’d love to find an adopter who’s happy to continue her training🌟

Lana absolutely LOVES the dogs in her foster home, and quickly made friends with them all on arrival. She would love a home where she has another friendly dog to keep her company, but she would be equally happy having all the cuddles to herself! She hasn’t met any cats, so we’re looking for a cat-free home🏡 She’s great with children, but since she can be a bit enthusiastic with her affection, kids over 6 would be best.

Since Lana is more energetic than most sighthound crosses (due to her Shepherd heritage!), we’d love to find her an active home where she’ll get plenty of playtime and walks. If you live in Ireland and would love to have this adorable little girl in your life, fill out our adoption form below. Please send us a message once you’ve filled it out, as some forms aren’t coming through to us this weekend😭

Our gorgeous Gandhi is full of love, and can’t wait to have a family to ADORE. Can you give him a share to help make his dreams come true? 🥰🙏

Gandhi is a gentle lurcher, somewhere between 1 and 2 years old, who was found straying a few weeks ago – extremely skinny and badly neglected🥺💔 Thankfully, he’s now safe in foster care, getting all the good food, TLC and love he deserves, and he’s really blossomed into the most wonderful dog🥰

He’s a quiet, calm and incredibly affectionate fella who absolutely loves people and is happiest when he’s near his favourite humans. Gandhi has also been fantastic with the other dogs in his foster home, and he would ideally love a doggie companion or two in his forever home🐶🐾

Gandhi is housetrained, a great passenger in the car, and walks really nicely on the lead. He’s a lovely, easy-going dude who enjoys getting out and about, but is equally happy when lounging around and snoozing (in true sighthound fashion😴!)

Given his wonderfully gentle and loving nature, Gandhi would be a brilliant family dog. But unfortunately, we don’t think he can live with cats🤔

After everything this poor lad has been through, it would be absolutely wonderful to see him in the loving home he should have had all along. If you live in Ireland and would love to adopt this gentle, affectionate, super-sweet boy, please fill out the adoption form below. Please also send us a message, as some forms haven't been coming through to us today🤔

Look at this adorable FLUFFY boy😍! Sweet little Teddy is looking for a quiet home where he won’t be left on his own, especially for the first while. Please share so that we can find his special person🙏🐾

Teddy is a gorgeous Pomeranian x Chihuahua, around 1 or 2 years old. He’s an absolutely lovely little fella who is very loyal and trusting once he gets to know you. He’s doing really well in his foster home and is now completely house-trained. He loves being brushed and even enjoys being dried off with a towel when he gets wet🥰 He has a great recall and is able to go off lead when out on walks.

Teddy absolutely LOVES other dogs, so we think having a friendly doggie companion in his new home would be wonderful for him. He is still quite nervous around new people, particularly men, and can find visitors stressful. He’s much more comfortable when people don’t pay too much attention to him, and we think that with patient, careful exposure, his confidence will continue to grow.

Poor Teddy also has some separation anxiety, so his adopter will need to be prepared to take things very slowly and help him build up his confidence about being left alone. He’s currently learning that his crate is a safe place too😇

We think Teddy would be happiest in a quiet adult-only home, with a woman as his main carer and another friendly dog for company. He doesn’t particularly like being picked up, so he’ll need someone who is happy to respect his boundaries and let him warm up to them in his own time. Teddy is such a sweet little soul and, with the right person, we think he’s going to make a wonderful companion🥰

If you live in Ireland and would love to offer Teddy the loving forever home he deserves, please fill out our adoption form below:

This gentle, saintly being is Gandhi, and he’s looking for a loving home to call his own. After the neglect he’s endured, he deserves to be cherished and loved for the rest of his days💞 Can you give Gandhi a share to help us find his forever family? 🙏🙏🙏

Gandhi is a stunning white lurcher, somewhere between 1 and 2 years old, and the poor lad was found straying a few weeks ago, extremely skinny and neglected💔 Thankfully, he’s now getting plenty of good food, TLC and love in his foster home, and he’s showing us what a dream dog he is🥰

Like most lovely lurchers, he’s gentle, calm and affectionate. He went into Ennis today for a trip to the vets and was super polite and friendly with everyone who stopped to say hello. He was such a good boy on the lead too, despite all the hustle and bustle of the town centre😇🐶

Although he’s had a difficult past, Gandhi is incredibly people-focused and cuddly, and just loves being close to his favourite humans. He doesn’t like being without human company for long, so we’re looking for a home where he won’t be left alone for long periods. He’s a low-energy boy who loves lounging around and snoozing, so he’d be an ideal companion for someone who works from home😴🏡

He’s also been fantastic with the other dogs in his foster home, so we think he’d really benefit from having a canine companion or two in his forever home. However, we don’t think he can live with cats or other small furries. Gandhi hasn’t met children yet, but he’s such a gentle, calm fella that we think he’ll be brilliant with them🥰

This sweet-natured lad has been through so much for such a young dog, and we’d absolutely love to see him settled in his forever home as soon as possible. Can you help us? And if you’d love to be the one to give Gandhi the loving home he deserves, please fill out the form below:

Misty

Beautiful Misty didn't get any applications after the last appeal🥲 This beautiful cat is a lovely friendly girl who has lived outside in the cold all her life🥶 She would love a bit of home comfort and a loving family🙏

Misty loves her food, she's small and we think she's about a year old. She came in to us with a litter of kittens who she has finished rearing. We've had her to the vet so no more kittens for her!

Her sad eyes are pleading with us not to put her back outside😭.If you can open your heart and your home to Misty please send us a DM💕

Look at these little sleeping beauties🥹💤 Moana and Rocky are just the sweetest pair, and we’re really hoping we can find a loving home for them together! Please give them a share to help us🙏🏡

Moana and Rocky are 1-year-old siblings who came into our care two weeks ago. They are about terrier-sized: their dad is a sweet little Chihuahua and their mam is a gentle Greyhound – what a beautiful and unusual mix!! 😍

When they first arrived in their foster home, we thought they’d be perfectly happy finding separate families, but we’ve since realised just how strongly bonded they are. They really are besties, and they’re happiest when they’re together, so we’d love nothing more than to keep these two little pals side-by-side for life🥰🥰

They’re both absolute dotes – sweet, affectionate and full of love. Moana can be a little timid when meeting new people, but once she knows she’s safe, she turns into such a cuddly little girl💞

Moana and Rocky are doing brilliantly in their foster home. They’re house-trained, good in the car, great with other little dogs and are perfectly fine with the resident cats🐈🐈 They’re good with children too, so they could live with gentle kids over 6 who understand that they need a little time and space while settling in.

If possible, we’d love to find them a home with a secure garden where they can safely potter about, and explore. If you live in Ireland and think Moana and Rocky could be the perfect additions to your family, please fill out the form below:

Okay, we’re gonna try really hard today to find a home for Moana and Rocky together, as it’s become clear that they are VERY strongly bonded🥰🥰 Can you help us by spreading the word?? 🙏💕

About 1 year old, Rocky and Moana are brother and sister who came into our care 2 weeks ago. When they first arrived in their foster home, we thought they wouldn’t really mind finding separate forever families. But over the past week, it’s become really clear that they are BESTIES! So we’ll try our very best to keep them together if we can!🤞

These gorgeous little doggies are totally fine with the cats in their foster home, so they can peacefully live alongside dog-savvy cats who are happy to show them who’s boss😹 They’re also fantastic with all the other little dogs, who they quickly made friends with when they arrived. Moana and Rocky are good with children too, so they can be rehomed with gentle kids over 6 who understand that they need to give them a little space while they’re settling into their new home🏡💕

Both siblings are absolute dotes – really sweet and affectionate. Moana can be a little timid when meeting new people, but she’s super cuddly and friendly once she knows she can trust you. With Rocky by her side, she’ll hopefully settle into her forever home in no time🥰

If possible, we’d love to find them a home with a secure garden, where they can safely explore and potter about together. If you live in Ireland and would love to welcome this adorable pair into your family, please fill out the adoption form below:

Update: Pups are sorted now. Keep an eye on our page as they will be available for adoption in the future. Please do not call the CAW phone as we need to keep the line open for emergencies.

We URGENTLY need your help🙏🚨These poor little Collie pups have just been dropped off at Clare Dog Shelter💔 They’re only about 8 weeks old and desperately need some TLC in a warm, comfy foster home🥺🏡 Please share so we can find a kind-hearted person or two, who can give these little ones a safe place to stay for up to two weeks🙏️

Our usual puppy fosterers are currently full or unavailable, so we’re looking for a new foster home or two in Clare or a neighbouring county – Limerick, Tipperary or Galway – who might be able to help🙏

The pups are already 8 weeks old and eating solid food, so they just need someone to give them lots of love, care and cuddles for a short while before they trot of to their forever homes🥰🐾

Please help us get the word out! And if you’d love to foster these little beauties, please fill out our fostering form below. Even if you can only foster two pups, please fill out the form, as they can go in pairs or trios too:
