🏡 PRIVATE REHOMING – Becky Needs a New Home

Becky is a sweet, gentle 9-year-old girl who suddenly finds herself in need of a new family. Her elderly owner has had to move into a nursing home, and Becky is now looking for someone who can give her the love and companionship she’s used to. 💔

She has always been the cosy kind — the dog who curls into you on the sofa, sleeps happily at the foot of the bed, and melts into every cuddle as if it’s her favourite moment of the day. Becky doesn’t ask for much… just to be close, to feel safe, and to love and be loved. 🥹💛

✨She gets on beautifully with other dogs and has interacted kindly with children.
We’re unsure about cats, but she has never shown any negative reactions.
She is also fully house trained.

📍 Currently based in Cahersiveen

🫵 If you can offer Becky a warm and loving home, please get in touch:

📣 Please like, comment and share — together we can help Becky find her next forever person. 🙏

✨ MEET THE CALENDAR STAR ✨
October – Theodore (now Boots)

Little Theo’s story began like so many rescue tales — found on the side of a busy road, scared and all on his own. Thankfully, a kind lady spotted him and brought him to safety. She wasn’t allowed to keep him due to rental restrictions, so Theo came into the care of KLAWS. 💚

But luck was truly on his side.

Theo spent only a couple of weeks with us before he was swept into the arms of his loving forever family. They named him Boots, and now this tiny tuxedo boy lives the sweetest life — purring at full volume and sharing his home with a new feline sibling. 🐾💞

Stories like Theo’s show just how much your support can change a life. ✨

🏡 FOREVER HOME WANTED - Max is ready to move in

🥇 As Max’s foster mom says, Max is a very good boy.
😎 Max is pretty easy going – he’s quite tolerant of the outdoor cats in his foster home, and he’s very good with other dogs.

👍 He needs to grow in confidence a bit, though, but that’ll come in time.
Nonetheless, Max is awesome on the lead, and to top it all, he is also fully crate-trained!

❤️ Now this dreamy-eyed and very good-looking boy just needs a loving home to call his own.

🫵 If you would like to open your home and heart to Max, please get in touch with us here: https://www.klaws.ie/dog-adoption-page

March – Josie

Josie came to KLAWS with her mom and siblings after their owner sadly passed away. From the very beginning, she showed everyone just how special she was — super cute, unbelievably sweet, and the only pup in the litter who didn’t try to eat the furniture! 💛🐾

In her foster home, Josie quickly became the official welcoming committee, greeting every guest with pure love.
And then one day, instead of welcoming visitors… Josie got to say the happiest goodbye. She travelled all the way to the UK to meet her forever family — and their older rescue dog — who fell in love with her instantly. ✨💕

We couldn’t be happier for this precious girl and her wonderful new family.
Stories like hers are exactly why we keep doing what we do. 💚

✅ ADOPTED

🧡 STILL WAITING… Let’s get Rusty home 🏡

Rusty is one of those dogs who captures your heart the moment you meet him. He’s gentle, he’s goofy, and he has this pure, joyful way of looking at the world that makes you smile without even trying. Everyone who spends time with him says the same thing: How is Rusty still waiting? 🥺

He absolutely adores people — the tail-wagging, full-body-wiggle kind of love. Give him a tennis ball and he’ll play fetch with the biggest grin on his face. Open the car door and he’s in faster than you can blink.🚗💨
And when the day winds down, he’s happiest curling up beside you for a cuddle.

Rusty gets along beautifully with other dogs. He’s smart, eager to learn, and so ready to give his whole heart to the humans who choose him. ❤️

He’s been overlooked for far too long - so why you’re waiting for?

🐾 FOREVER HOME WANTED – Buttons & Munchkin 💕

Buttons & Munchkin are two gorgeous 6-month-old brothers who have been living safely and warmly in their foster home — but what they really need now is a forever family of their own, hopefully before the year ends. ✨

Adopting a pair of socialised siblings means:
💛 built-in companionship
💛 less stress
💛 happier, more confident cats
💛 fewer behavioural problems
A total win-win for everyone!

If you’re dreaming of adding double the love (and double the fun!) to your home, these two might be your perfect match. 🐾
