RIP for Pets

🐾 A lovely celebration of rescue dogs today.

The KWWSPCA Wag & Bone Dog Show takes place at Punchestown, with some of the charity's current rescue dogs joined by many former rescues returning with their families.

There's something particularly lovely about seeing animals who once needed help coming back years later, happy and loved in their forever homes.
Best wishes to everyone taking part today — especially the four-legged competitors! ❤️🐾

Delighted to see the story of RIP for Pets. ie featured so extensively by All About Cork. What began as Rest Easy Friend has developed a new name, a clearer identity and, hopefully, a lasting way for people to remember the pets who meant so much to them.

Many thanks to Ellen Wolfe and All About Cork for telling the story so thoughtfully.

What began as a retirement project to give grieving pet owners a place to remember their beloved companions has taken an unexpected turn, with Rest Easy Friend becoming RIP for Pets. For founder Mick…

🐾 What a journey for beautiful Romashka.
Rescued frightened and desperately thin from war-torn Ukraine, Romashka has now made the journey to Ireland where a loving new home is waiting for her.
Behind every rescue is a story and thankfully this one has a very happy new chapter.
Wishing Romashka a wonderful life here in Ireland. ❤️🇮🇪🐾

She finally found peace and a family of her own.

A sincere thank you to Oliver Callan for inviting me onto RTÉ Radio 1 to talk about the story behind RIP for Pets, how Rest Easy Friend became known as “RIP for pets.ie” and why we ultimately embraced the name the public had already given us.

Mick Hanly, tells Oliver about his online pet memorial service Rest Easy Friend which is now RIP for Pets.ie

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, call it a duck 😀
