A Rescue Dog is a wonderful joy in any household. They provide unconditional love and great companionship, and ask for little in return - - a kind word, a little snuggle time, a scratch behind the ear, a walk and some fresh air, a safe place to sleep, and a meal. It seems so unfair, because we certainly get the better part of that bargain.

Rescue dogs help bring families closer - - they form close relationships with children, and give the entire family a common interest and activity. Rescue dogs are great listeners, so intent and non-judgmental. No matter what the subject, they hear us out with patience. Every dog should have a boy or a girl of their own. Choose a rescue dog from us, and make them complete. To help you choose the right rescue dog for your home, here's a helpful Questionnaire

DOGS IN DISTRESS DO NOT HAVE A RESCUE PREMISES

16,546 dogs were put to sleep in Ireland in 2005, these were mainly healthy dogs.

We aim to help as many dogs as we can get into foster.

We will put these dogs into warm foster homes where they will know
love and warmth and will prepare to find their "forever home".

Not only does this change the lives of the dogs for the better but
also changes the lives of all the people involved.
