✨ Introducing the most graceful girl … 𝑫𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒚 🩷 🐾 She is an approx 2-3 year old Lurcher , who came into our care as a stray & was sadly never re-claimed 😔

When Dilly joined us at the Hub she was extremely nervous & weary with us … after some time, patience & plenty of TLC she’s coming shining bright out the other side 🫶🏽 Just watching her confidence grow has been amazing & she’s taken it all in her stride like the best girl.

Dilly really has the sweetest personality, she’s kind & gentle … with the softest spot for cuddles & affection 😍 She knows how to melt you with just one look from her gorgeous eyes .. we love her ! She’s recently discovered her love of toys … and enjoys nothing more than a good toss around with her teddies 🧸

Dilly is great to walk on the lead, can pull a little at the beginning but that soon settles. She happily passes dogs by on her wanders & barely gives them any notice. Whilst she is non reactive with other dogs in general , her love for teddies & treats is a biggie …she can resource guard these with dogs. She doesn’t resource guard with people. Owing to this, we feel she would be happier in an only dog home 🫶🏽 She would not be suitable to live with cats & has not been child tested.

Dilly really is a wonderful little girl who is looking for a fresh start , a new chapter to her story. She is full of love & affection which she loves to dish out … and has a cheeky playful side too - Win win ! The transformation in this girl in the short time we have had her has been amazing .. and we know that with time & patience , she will thrive & become the best girlo 🩷 🐾

✨ Introducing our very own hound dog .. 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒚 💙 🐾 He is 1.5 year old English foxhound x. He came into our care as a stray after being wandering for weeks, he was not microchipped nor did an owner come to claim him 😞

Buddy is the coolest chap , since arriving into our care it has taken us some time to rehab him … but he’s coming out the other side & showing us what a fun loving boy he can be 🥰 He now walks great on the lead & as typical of a hound … nose is constantly on the ground 🤣 🍂

Buddy really is the sweetest boy, he loves cuddles & all the attention being on him 😍 From how he arrived to us , to now .. you wouldn’t believe the transformation 🤩 He’s finally learning how to be a good boy & we all have a soft spot for him ! He is mannerly & gentle , there isn’t any badness in him at all.

Buddy is a quick learner, he’s getting used to the daily routine at the Hub .. he still needs further training to become the best boyyo but he’s slowly getting there 🥰 He is non reactive with other dogs, more intrigued & wants to say hi. He could re-home as an only dog or with siblings pending successful meet & greet 🐶 He is not child or cat tested !

Buddy has the sweetest personality , he just wants someone to love him 🥹 He is an active dog so wouldn’t be suited to couch potato life … and he’ll need someone dedicated to continue his training. We know Buddy will make the most amazing little guy with time & patience put into him. Buddy deserves a second chance .. a chance to see how all dogs should be treated - A loving, cosy home with a family he can finally call his own 💙 🐾

✨ 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑯𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 from our puppers to yours … 🎃 🐾 👻

♥️ BOOKED ♥️___✨ Introducing the most special boy .. 𝑫𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒆𝒓 💙 🐾 He is a 6 year old lab, who was surrendered through no fault of his own.. it was a heart breaking decision for all involved 😔 Dexter is genetically blind , and has been since he was 2 years old. He is fully vaccinated & neutered.

Dexter has been such a champ since he came into our care , Mr Happy Waggy Tail … we just love him 🥰 He adapts to his surroundings so quick, he’s a clever little boy 🫶🏽 He just oozes special boy vibes & despite his disability, he is an absolute ray of sunshine ☀️

Dexter is the most loving of chaps , he adores being close to you & will happily lay at your feet for pets ! He is so mannerly & gentle , a little tap on the bum & he’ll happily sit , then lie at your feet taking the world in with his ears 🥹

Dexter is great to walk on the lead, he’ll happily trot along with his waggy tail & follow your voice if he runs too far, feeling a little lost 😢 He loves sniffing the world as he toddles along … and will happily walk alongside other dogs 🐾 He previously lived with sibling dogs , on walks he can get a little started if a dog appears in his face .. but who can blame him 🥹 Once he recognises a dogs scent he is a friendly lad 🫶🏽

Dexter really is the most happy go lucky chap … he spends his days in the kitchen with us & we all have the softest spot for him 💙 He’ll let you know when he needs out for a p*e by scraping the door & he is happy out just chilling beside you … hearing the world go by.

Dexter really is special … and we think rather cute in his pumpkin bandana 🎃 He will require a home who understands his needs & give him time to settle … once he gets used to his surroundings he is flying ! We love this boy so much, we just know there is that special forever home out there somewhere… just waiting to add him to their family 💙 🐾

✨ 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆 to our gorgeous girl 𝐿𝒶𝓎𝓁𝒶 (formerly Gloria) 🩷 🐾

Layla came into our care as a stray & was sadly never re-claimed 😔 She was a wonderful girl throughout her time with us … which ended up being a lot longer than we anticipated !! Layla was the sweetest girl from the minute she arrived … she was the most inquisitive gal who loved watching the world go by for her kennel & adored when everyone doted on her … she was the ultimate cuddle monster 🥰

Despite all of her positive attributes , poor Layla watched all of her pals leave the Hub, one after another .. wondering when it would be her turn , she was constantly overlooked 😔 She started to get a little down , losing weight & our hearts were broken for the poor girl.. she was starting to lose hope 😢 💔

Out of nowhere & at a time she needed it the most … Layla got an application .. we thought it was too good to be true 🥹 The lovely Laura & her husband got in touch … Layla had caught their eye & they just had to meet her 🤞🏽 Just one little stroll down the lane with their little dainty (unit) of a girl was enough to seal the deal .. . Layla had finally found her forever home 😭 🩷

As you can see from the video, Layla is really struggling to adapt to her new life … 🙃 I don’t think even Layla would have believed in the summer that this would be her new life if we had told her ! She is completely idolised by her new family & treated like the queen she is 👑 Layla deserved a fresh start in life … a safe , loving, fun home … and that’s exactly what she got 🩷 🐾

✨ 𝑳𝒂𝒍𝒂 is a 6 year old Dogo Argentino, she was surrendered into our care with no reason given. Clearly used for breeding … she was petrified when she first arrived. She was reactive, lashing out at us - We couldn’t understand it … until we realised she was completely blind 😢 She wasn’t acting out of badness, she was genuinely terrified of the noise & acting in fear 🥺 Now we’ve adapted our approach to her & she’s proving to be the most loving, sweetest girl 🫶🏽 There is hope to atleast partially restore (if not more) her eyesight with surgery !

✨ 𝑵𝒊𝒏𝒂 is a 4 year old bulldog x , she was also surrendered into our care, apart from being slightly overweight, she wasn’t showing any signs of issues for the first few weeks. Until one day whilst out playing, her leg went from under her… she has a suspected patellar / ligament injury - She also needs surgery to stabilise her leg 🥹

Both of these gorgeous girls deserve to live their best lives, find their forever homes & be treated like all dogs should - 𝐿𝒪𝒱𝐸𝒟 🩷

Yesterday the wonderful Shane of .ie visited the Hub to meet the girls & have a chat with us - He wanted to help out in any way he could, to ensure the girls got the treatment they needed 🥰 Shane is embarking on a 10 day fast from the 28th of October … yes 10 𝑫𝑨𝒀𝑺!! On day 6 he will walk Croagh Patrick … 𝑩𝑨𝑹𝑬𝑭𝑶𝑶𝑻 😮 I think it’s safe to say, Shane will do just about anything to raise money for Lala & Nina’s surgery 🫶🏽

⚜️ Please support Shane .ie along his 10 day journey, as he raises funds for our 2 girls. We are so thankful for his help & it will be life changing for Lala & Nina … these girls deserve the world 🌎 🩷 🐾

✨ Introducing this charming fella … 𝑭𝒂𝒇𝒊𝒌 💙 🐾 He is a 1.5 year old beagle who was surrendered through no fault of his own 🥹

Fafik has been a dream since coming into our care, he is such a laid back dude who just loves 1:1 attention & running around with his teddies 🧸 We are all in love with him 😍

Fafik is great to walk on the lead, he’ll leisurely walk by your side, but does get random zoomie bursts out of nowhere which can be strong … it’s the beagle way ☺️ He is happiest trotting away with his nose to the ground .. taking in all the good sniffs 🍂

Fafik has basic training, he can sit , give paw & is very gentle taking treats. He is food driven which is handy for further training 🤓 He is non reactive with other dogs, he just wants to have a good lick & play ! He would be best re-homed as an only dog as he does seem to like all the toys & treats to himself around other dogs 🐶 He is not cat or kid tested.

Fafik really is a beauty of a boy, he ticks all of the boxes in our eyes 🤩 From running around like a pup with his teddies, to rolling over for belly rubs … he sure knows how to make you fall in love with him 😍 We just know there is the perfect forever home out there waiting for Fafik … and whoever gets him will be the luckiest family in Ireland 💙 🐾

✨ Introducing the loviest of lads .. 𝑺𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒔 🩵 🐾 He is an approx 4 year old, greyhound who was sadly found as a stray & not re-claimed 🥺

Seamus came into our care in a poorly state, emaciated , covered in fleas & an extremely sore eye 😢 Despite all of this , he just wanted some love & was the friendliest boy you could imagine 🫶🏽 Upon vet check, it was discovered he had a severe entropian , the worst the vet had ever seen … his eyelid rolled in x3 & was scraping his eyeball 😭 After recently undergoing surgery on his eye … Seamus is feeling brand new & loving living life finally pain free 🩵 🤩

Seamus is a character … he is such a chill boy who just lives for cuddles 🥹 He’s got a playful side too & loves playing with his teddies or having a good run around like a goofball 🫶🏽 He is food obsessed & who blames him 🤣 This boy will do anything for a treat … which is ideal for ongoing training 🦴 He’s clearly not had much input into his education on the doggy ways … but he has come on leaps & bounds since coming into our care! When he first arrived he didn’t know how to walk on a lead !!

Seamus walks like a dream, he’ll happily toddle by your side & take in the world 🌎 He is happy to pass other dogs on his travels & is non-reactive with other dogs, he just wants to say hello & play ! He could live alone as king of the castle or re-home with a sibling dog pending successful meet & greet 🐶 🐾

Seamus really had a tough start to life but he hasn’t let that get him down at all … he’s still a playful , cheeky chappy at heart who just wants someone to love him 🥹 Now he’s feeling so much better in himself after his eye surgery … he is just waiting for his forever family to find him & take him home 🩵 🐾
