the future of animals in all of Ireland. Tipperary, but we are happy to help any animal that we can. we have a very strong network of people and we work alongside a qualified and professional positive dog behaviorist/trainer. We are a small group of people hoping to make a difference. Please note: all photos that appear on this page are the property of the Haven Rescue Tipperary and The Haven Rescue Tipperary Limited.

Meet Rocco 💔

Another young German Shepard failed by humans.

Rocco arrived to us from Laois Dog Pound after the staff there got in touch with us asking if we had space for him due to his nervousness and they knew he needed some more work before being able to be rehomed.

Rocco arrived to them as a stray but appears to have actually been a sneaky surrender.

Rocco arrived to us once we had space, a terrified young Shepard that clearly had no socialisation or positive human interaction .. he hides and skirts away from us when in a large area and urinates on himself when caught.. only in the last few weeks has he started to enjoy his pets and attention.. but when in a large area, he reverts to being scared.

Rocco is only 10-12 months old, going by his teeth .. a big sensitive puppy that has been failed by the people who were supposed to raise him.

Rocco has improved in his time with us. He now walks on a lead ( his puppy collar has been removed, and he now walks in a martingale.. clearly, he had never walked on a lead before as we have done all that work with him as well as the pound staff )

He has started his crate training, and he is mixing well with other dogs.

Rocco is now looking for a home to take the next steps with him, to continue his slow and steady socialisation. His ideal home will be:

• With another confident, happy dog. Male or female

• He is not yet castrated due to his age and his fear .. as it could be counterproductive, so he will need to return to our vets once old enough.

• He will need a home willing to put in work with him.

• He will need to be long lined so that it isn't chased to be caught ( once you step on his line, he warms up and will enjoy his pets)

• German Shepard experience

If you'd like to offer Rocco his own forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏 ✨️

Daisy in the Pound and Daisy now 🙌

Can you see the difference 🙌

Meet Daisy ❤️

Daisy is a 5 - 6 year old Wirehaired Terrier female who arrived to us from Clare Dog Shelter after she was picked up as an emaciated stray .. she had a body condition score of 1 when she arrived in the pound.

She arrived to us where she started to gain weight, was wormed, treated for her mange, and slowly gained all that lost weight back ... nothing was the cause of her emaciated body, only a lack of food.

Daisy is a happy, healthy dog. She is overly excited when she sees her food bowl and can jump up and try to grab it if you're not fast enough ( completely understandable after her history)

Daisy is now looking for her own forever home with the following requirements:

• Adults or teenagers home due to her obsession with food ( this will lessen over time, but a home with kids with food in their hands all the time wouldn't be fair on her)

• No cats, please

• she can live with other dogs or be an only dog - ideally, a male companion would be great for her

• A fully secure garden

• she has started her crate training

• She is on Gain elite small dog Salmon - which is a sensitive food which is suiting her well- we would advise a new home to continue it.

If you'd like to offer her a forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Happy forever home, Tanner now Rusty ❤️

Tanner arrived to us from Laois Dog Pound a few weeks ago after he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed.

He was a happy, unusual looking fella and settled right into his new circumstances with ease. He quickly found his forever home with Paula and her family, and we received these wonderful photos and message as his trial finished up.

He has settled in to our family so well. He is a pure dote, such a sweetheart of a dog, and he’s made himself very much at home. He loves our kids, and they adore him. We’ve had a few hiccups with him (digging holes in the garden, chewing some of the kids toys and some cushions and things like that) but nothing that we won’t be able get out of him with a bit of training and time. We all absolutely adore him.

Happy forever home, Rusty.

The post we have been delighted to write 💓

Happy forever home Thor ❤️

Thor arrived to us from Dublin City Dog Pound after he had been surrendered in due to his barking in the garden in a city center Dublin house .. he was about 6 months old when he entered the pound and spent 4 months there .. stressed despite everyone in the pound doing their best for him.

He arrived to us in early June and came to HQ to relax and destress... he had 2 unsuccessful home trials .. being returned within 11 days on each one one .. despite both homes having declared to have had years of German Shepard experience.. yet he was returned for German Shepard behaviour.

Rachel and Andrew got in touch on his last posting .. and arrived down to meet him with one of their males, went off for a walk, and came back to say yes ! They wanted to start a trial .. and assured us he wouldn't be coming back !

We crossed our fingers .. and said goodbye to Thor as he made the journey home for the 3rd attempt.

We've been keeping in touch over the last while .. and can now happily say Thor has been officially adopted by his forever home 🏡

Hes been allowed to settle in, learn to live with his 3 German Shepard brothers .. and is gaining weight and leaving his past behind him.

We received this wonderful message during the week;

Hi Jenny and team, I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to give you a quick update on Thor. As you can see from the photos and videos, he's doing great with us and the boys. There is no need for a trial extension. Happy to adopt him officially.

Thank you to his humans for opening their home and hearts to a needy pup 🐶

Happy forever home, big fella 💙

Thank you to everyone who sent kind messages inquiring about him and wishing him well .. We hope you enjoy this post as much as we do ❤️

Valais needs you !!!

Valais has been officially reserved 🙌

She will travel to Germany with , all thanks to for putting her profile their way 💓

For now, we would love to get Valais into a foster home until transport week ( 25th of September), so she will need a 4 week placement until she can travel.

Valais is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed .. she is crate trained and loves her people ( once she knows you ) she is super confident at home with other confident dogs but can struggle in new situations so we would love a home that can give her some last adventures in Ireland before she leaves for Germany.

We provide all of her food, crate, etc ... all you need is some time.

If you're interested in fostering Valais, then please pm us to start the process 🙏

Happy forever home, Roxy 🏡

Roxy, the absolute live wire, arrived to us from Clare Dog Pound after she was surrendered into the pound due to a change in housing circumstances by her family. She was only about a year old.

We got her spayed, updated her vaccines, and she spent some time relaxing with us before moving to foster with

She thrived .. but had no interest despite multiple postings ... until one day, one application came in from Caroline and family .. and it only took the one !

Roxy travelled off to her new home on trial, and happily, that trial turned into a forever home! She now lives in the countryside and enjoys spending time climbing the bales and playing football with her little human friends ! She also has a little pug sister who shes learned to get along with - thanks to her familys dedication on getting them settled in.

Happy forever home, Roxy .. there were moments when we thought you wouldn't get your happy ever after, but we're so happy you did 💓

Orlando 💖

Orlando, the English Pointer, arrived to us from Limerick Dog Pound after he was surrendered in. He had been picked up as a stray a few months before and was kept by his finder, but as he was gunshy, he was bringing the other gundogs home when shots were being fired. So he was surrendered to the pound. He was brilliant with the kids in the family and was in great condition when surrendered.

Orlando is now castrated, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He is also up to date on his worming and flea treatments.

Orlando is a soft pointer, terrified of gunshots and loud noises, and loves to stick close and be reassured by his people. He is great out walking and travels well in the car ( he needs more confidence to jump in by himself )

He is looking for a home with the following requirements:

• Ideally, another dog in the home.
• He can live with dog savvy kids and parents.
• He is cat workable
• He has started his crate training

If you're interested in offering him a forever home, please pm the page to start the process 🙏

Happy forever home, Steve ❤️

Steve arrived to us from Dublin County Dog Shelter after he was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed.

Happily, after a few weeks, he found his forever home with Sabrina and family and we received this wonderful update and photos as they officially adopted him ❤️

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that we’re officially adopting Steve. It’s been almost a month, and he’s settled in like a dream. He was born to be a family dog; he’s so gentle and loving and always up for some fun. He’s living his best doggie life here in the city, and he’s absolutely become part of our family!! We’re working on some training, and he’s quick and eager to learn!!

Thank you to all at The Haven Rescue for taking such good care of him

Happy forever home Steve ❤️
