Poor aul Sparky is still looking for his forever home. 😞.

He is in foster with me and such a lovely Dog. We would keep him but our 13 year old patterdale hates him and it’s just not fair on either of them tbh.

Our Saluki adores him and vica versa as you can see from the pictures.

He’s now approximately 10/ 11 months old and such a lovely big puppy 🥰.

Full of the joys of life, loves other dogs of all shapes and sizes and is the submissive one and takes lead from the other dogs.

He is completely housetrained and as you can see loves a snuggle on the couch. A good run around the garden and a play outside - he keeps himself well occupied in the garden but a secure garden as always is a must!

A short walk, run around the garden and a snooze on the couch and he’s thrilled ♥️!

He’s so affectionate and very clever and takes commands very well.

We would love to see him in a home with another dog for company and ideal for someone who is around a fair bit as all pups love and need company.

He’s now neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and in great health and spirit.

If you think you could give him the indoor home he so deserves please message with as much information as possible please.

Homechecks, adoption agreement etc as always are required.

Please help Sparky get a home by sharing if you can please 🙏 and Thank you ♥️♥️.

We hope everyone had a lovely Easter.

Sparky had a lovely one with his foster brother and sister and got neutered which literally took nothing out of him !

He’s now approximately 10 months old and such a lovely big puppy 🥰.

Poor aul Sparky is still waiting for his forever home 😞. He’s now 6 months old and it’s just so sad as all he wants is a loving home where he is adored as he deserves.

We took him in at 10 weeks old where he had been found in a ditch -starving, flea and worm ridden and infected coat.

He went off to foster with the brilliant Jamie and Trevor and they helped him recover so much and loved him but they couldn’t keep him. You should now see his absolute fabulous chocolate coat now !!

So he’s now in my home with our dogs and is such a lovely lovely pup 😍🥰 and gets on great with them all but unfortunately our Oldie is upset with a pup being in the house !!

Sparky is an absolute gem of a pup - typical pup full of curiosity and fun and typical of a sighthound after 10 minutes he just wants to be on the couch 🥰🥰. He’s completely housetrained and has had no accident in the 2 weeks he’s been here and lets you know on the minute when he wants to go out. LOVES LOVES other dogs but Leai has already influenced him to not like cats 😞.

Have to say he’s an absolute pleasure and so clever and understands all commands and obeys them - apart from plastic flower pots that he thinks are his toys !!

He’s fully vaccinated, microchipped and will be neutered when he’s finished his growth spurt.

We cannot say enough good things about Sparky, he’s just adorable but will definitely need a home with another dog as he thrives in dog and human company and not the type of dog to be on his own and he’s still only a pup.

He’s crate trained also and he’s such a lovely little big pup♥️♥️.

If anyone is interested in him please message us with as much information as possible.

A secure indoor home is a must and a fully secure garden where he can run around for short periods of time ( he loves the couch 🥰).

Homechecks, Adoption contract and T&C’s apply.

Please please if you can share for this

Our beautiful , little boy Sparky is still looking for his forever home. We can’t understand it tbh, he’s absolutely incredible in every way. 🩷.

We are worried that the longer he remains in his foster home the closer he gets to his lovely foster family and he adores them all already.

All Sparky wants is to play a bit, a good indoor home and more than anything a couch ( he loves snuggling on the couch ) and a warm hearted person/ family that will give him what he deserves 🙏.

His fosters adore him and have nothing but great things to say about him. He’s an absolute joy in the house and very little trouble - he just wants to be loved ♥️.

He’s so good with people and other dogs and loves kids too. We really want him to go to an home with another dog of we can ?

We need to do everything we can for him and if you think you could give this special little puppy a home we would be delighted to talk to you.

He’s approx 17/18 weeks old, fully vaccinated and microchipped and already crate trained and house trained.

If you are interested in giving him his deserved home please message us 🙏😍.

Otherwise if you can share for him PLEASE.

Homechecjs and T&C’s apply.

The most beautiful Boy in the world - our lovely Sparky is still waiting on his forever home 😞.

He is such a beautiful boy in everyway and his brilliant Fosters have nothing but brilliant things to say about him.

He’s amazing with kids and loves the play and attention but also gentle and can read situations excellently.

He’s very clever and very affectionate and LOVES other dogs and people. He’s only approx 16/18 weeks old and already been through so much in his short life but the bad times are over and we are eagerly looking for his forever home.

He’s been living with other dogs and ADORES them and so for him, we would really love a home with another dog tbh.

He’s crate trained and now also toilet trained ( thanks to his fosters) and just a bundle of love.

We would also like a home where someone is home a fair bit of time as he is only a puppy.

He’s been microchipped and fully vaccinated and looking for his forever home 😍.

If you are interested in giving this little beauty a home please MESSAGE us with as much information as possible and we can arrange a homecheck etc.

Indoor home a must.

Thanks and if you don’t mind can you give this post a share so that we can get Sparky his forever loving home 🙏🙏.

⛄️ 🥶 In light of the very cold weather we are having we wanted to post this and ask everyone of our followers to share. 🥶 ⛄️

There is a Culture We Need to Leave Behind in Ireland and that is Dogs Living outside, regardless of their breed.

With everything we now know about canine behaviour, emotions, and welfare, this is no longer acceptable.

🐾 Dogs are deeply social beings.
They don’t just like being with their families — they need to be. Leaving a dog outside, day after day, leads to loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and emotional distress. It’s heartbreaking to hear dogs crying or barking at night in the cold and wet, while the family simply closes the door and goes on with life. No dog deserves that.

🏡 Dogs need clean, dry, comfortable living conditions.
Large dogs especially require raised beds to protect their joints from osteoarthritis, skin problems, pressure sores, and elbow hygromas. No dog should be lying on cold concrete or in a damp wooden kennel that offers no heat and encourages mould and moisture.

🔗 The “security dog in the yard” mindset must end.
Dogs kept on chains or in yards as deterrents are not living — they are merely existing. They lack socialisation, stimulation, exercise, and companionship. When highly intelligent breeds like German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois are condemned to chains, it becomes one of the cruelest forms of neglect imaginable. They are not “working dogs”, they are prisoners chained up. Buy a security system instead.

❄️ Choosing a dog for how it looks is still causing suffering.
Fluffy Husky and Samoyed pups are cute — until they grow up needing regular grooming, meaningful engagement, and space. Too often they end up neglected, matted and muddy and banished outdoors because no one kept up the maintenance they need. The once besotted owners now can’t be bothered to groom them and decide they prefer their house to be hair and muddy paw prints free and so the dogs are left to live lonely lives in back gardens, forgotten once the “cute puppy phase” is gone.

💔 Let’s be clear: this is neglect. This is abuse.
Ireland must move beyond these old and harmful habits. Dogs deserve companionship, comfort, and dignity — not isolation, chains, or cold backyards.

If your dog lives outside in any of these situations, ask yourself:
Why do I have a dog?
Why am I putting a living being through a lifetime of misery?
Are they in physical pain from living in these conditions
Would I even know if they were?

It’s time for Ireland to do better — for every dog, in every county, in every home.
🐶❤️ A dog is family.
