❤️ URGENT FOSTER APPEAL – 8 COLLIE X RETRIEVER PUPPIES NEED YOU! ❤️

🐾 8 little pups. Just 8 weeks old. And we need foster homes for them! 🐾
These gorgeous Collie x Retriever babies are looking for safe, loving foster homes where they can settle in, grow and get the best possible start to life. 🥹❤️
We know finding space for EIGHT puppies is a big ask, but they can be split up, so you don't need to take them all! Even if you can only offer a home to one or two, you could make a huge difference. 🏡🐶

❤️ What we're looking for:

🐾 Loving, responsible foster homes
👶 Homes without young children
🚗 Fosterers able to travel to our vets in Antrim when needed.

Fostering gives these little souls the chance to grow up surrounded by love and care while they wait for their forever homes. ❤️
Could you open your home to one of these wee babies? Or perhaps you know someone who could help?

🙏 Please apply via the link below. If you can't help yourself, sharing this appeal could help us reach the people who can!

Let's find these eight little ones the safe paws and loving homes they deserve. 🐾❤️

🩵🩵 GEORGE NEEDS A FOSTER — WITH HOPE OF ADOPTION 🩵🩵

Small in stature, but so big in heart. 🥹❤️

George, our tiny Chihuahua gentleman, has only just arrived, yet he’s already stolen every single heart in the rescue. He’s timid, gentle and unbelievably sweet — the kind of little soul who makes you soften the moment you meet him. 🥰

When George came into our care, we noticed straight away that his breathing didn’t sound quite right. Even when he was wide awake, he made a little snoring noise, so we knew he needed checked. After investigations, we discovered that the left side of his larynx isn’t working as it should. Thankfully, it isn’t fully paralysed, and George has now started steroids to see if they help improve things. We’ll review him again in around a month and continue to support him every step of the way. ❤️

For now, George just needs time — time to settle, time to feel safe, time to realise he’s finally being cared for.

Once he’s had a chance to decompress, we’ll be looking for a foster home with a view to adopt. George can live with gentle dogs and cats, and he will need a teenager‑only home where things are calm, predictable and kind. This setup will give him the best chance to thrive while we continue any veterinary care he may need.

He deserves all the comforts he’s been missing: a cosy bed, gentle cuddles, soft voices, warm laps, and someone who will show him what love really feels like. 🏡❤️

🩵 Please bear with us — little George has captured a lot of hearts already. There is only one George, and we know many families will want him. We are truly sorry if you are not successful with your application, but we promise every decision is made with George’s needs at the very centre. 🩵

We don’t know exactly what George’s journey will look like yet… but we do know he deserves a home where he can blossom at his own pace.

If you can offer George a foster home with hope of adoption, please complete an application and send us a message.

Our wee Rio is nearly ready to start his brand‑new chapter — and he’s hoping it’s with you 🩵🐾

Rio is a gorgeous 5‑year‑old Jack Russell who has been such a wee trooper. He’s had his cruciate surgery and is heading for his final check‑up this week — after that, this gentle soul will be all set for his forever home.

Rio absolutely adores humans and company. He’s brilliant with children, loves being close to his people, and would happily spend his days curled up on your lap getting endless belly rubs. He’s a proper wee companion dog who just wants to be part of someone’s everyday life.

He’s not too fussed on sharing his home with other dogs, so he’s best suited to a dog‑free home. He’s unknown with cats. But give him a ball, a cosy sofa spot, and someone to love — and Rio is in his element.

He’s a beautiful, gentle wee man with so much love to give. Whoever adopts him will be getting a truly loyal, affectionate best friend.

If you think you could offer Rio his forever home, please fill in his application form and drop us a PM.

🧡🧡 ZIGGY IS READY FOR A LITTLE LOVE, A LOT OF CUDDLES AND A LAP TO CALL HIS OWN. 🧡🧡

Eight years old, a heart full of love, and one very simple wish… to have someone of his own. 🥹💗
Meet Ziggy, our gorgeous boy who seems to have life all figured out. Forget fancy toys or big adventures — this lovely lad would be perfectly happy curled up on your lap, soaking up affection and enjoying all the little comforts that make a house a home. 🧡
And honestly, doesn’t he deserve exactly that?
Ziggy has recently been poorly with a nasty middle ear infection. Thankfully, he is improving, although he is still a little wobbly and needs to continue his medication while he recovers.
What he needs now is somewhere warm and peaceful where he can rest, feel safe and have someone keeping an eye on him as he gets back on his paws. 🐾
Could your home be the place where Ziggy gets his second chance? 🏡💕
We are looking for a foster home with a view to adopt, giving Ziggy the opportunity to recover in a loving home and hopefully find his forever person along the way.
Here’s a little more about what he needs:
❤️ A lap to call his own — Ziggy adores affection and cuddles.
💊 A caring foster family — someone able to continue his medication and support him during his recovery.
🐱 Other cats — possibly, following careful introductions.
🐶 Dogs — possibly, following careful introductions.
👧 Children aged 8 and over.
At around eight years old, Ziggy has already spent years becoming the lovely boy he is. Now he deserves to spend his next chapter surrounded by comfort, companionship and people who adore him just as much as he adores them.
We can picture it now… a cosy blanket, a comfy sofa, a gentle hand stroking his head and Ziggy settling down with a contented little sigh, knowing he is right where he belongs. 🥹❤️
It might seem like a small thing to offer a cat a place to recover, but to Ziggy, it could mean everything 🧡
📩 Could you offer Ziggy a loving foster home with a view to adopt? Please message the page if you submit an application.

💙🐾 SOMEWHERE OUT THERE, ZACH’S PERSON IS STILL LOOKING FOR HIM. 🐾💙

And Zach is still waiting to be found. 💔

No suitable applications. No recent enquiries. Just a young boy waiting for someone to look at him and see more than his struggles.
Zach is only around 6–7 months old. He should be busy discovering the world, getting into mischief, playing with his favourite toys and learning that he is safe and loved.
And he still has all of that ahead of him. ❤️
Our boy has so many lovely qualities. Once he knows and trusts you, Zach is sweet, affectionate and loving. He enjoys a good game, loves chasing a ball and is a clever lad who really enjoys brain games. Give him something to work out and you’ll see that intelligent Collie mind in action! 🧠🐾
But Zach does find the world difficult sometimes.
He is an anxious boy and can be reactive towards men, so he needs a home that understands his behaviour is something to work with, not something to punish. He needs patience, consistency and someone who is prepared to help him feel safe rather than expecting him to cope with everything straight away.
We are looking for an experienced home, ideally with breed experience, where Zach can continue learning at his own pace.
❤️ An adult home or one with older, understanding teenagers.
❤️ Someone with experience of rescue or nervous do.
❤️ A patient, committed person who understands that trust takes time.
❤️ A home willing to celebrate progress, even when it comes in tiny steps.

Zach can live with other dogs following suitable introductions, and he can also live with cats.
We know he won’t be the right dog for everyone. And that’s okay. But not being the right dog for everyone doesn’t mean he isn’t the right dog for someone. 🥹💙
Imagine being the person Zach learns to trust. The person he feels safe enough to relax beside. The person who discovers his little quirks, understands his worries and watches his confidence grow.
You wouldn’t just be giving Zach a home. You’d be giving him the opportunity to discover a happier, more confident version of himself.
We cannot promise that everything will be easy, or that progress will happen overnight. But we can tell you that Zach deserves the chance to find out what life can be like with the right people beside him.
Please don’t let his anxiety be the only thing you see when you look at his face. Look at the young dog he is, the potential he has and the future that is still waiting for him. ❤️

📩 Could you be the person Zach has been waiting for? Please read his information carefully and apply if you feel you could offer him the right home.
🏡 Please message the page to let us know if you have submitted an application.

And if you can’t offer Zach a home, please share his appeal. His person might be just one share away.
Let’s help this boy find his people. 💙🐾
