There is a kerry blue rescue in Ireland, not sure of the location, if you go onto irishcaninepress.net it will give their details. The contact details for the rescue are fionnuala 0868750614 and their email address is glenfitor@esatclear.ie, hope this is of some help to you.
Aw its awful for oap doggies to be uprooted this late in life, maybe the owner could consider contributing to their costs if a rescue centre takes them on?! Like the way people can sponsor dogs not suitable for rehoming! Keep us updated if ya can
