JoJo's journey to Connemara

We often need kind people with a bit of spare time to temporarily look after a dog or cat until a permanent home can be found. Dogs and cats that arrive in rescue may have been ill-treated, neglected or just not wanted anymore. They need lots of patience and a home environment is the best place to help them feel secure and learn how to trust again. Fostering a dog or cat is a practical way to help us out.
All we ask is that you have a reasonable secure garden and you can be at home for most of the day, usually preferable for dogs to be placed in a family where children are over 12 years. We cover expenses if you can provide a bed, some exercise and love and kindness.
If you'd like to know more, you can speak to John or Irene or call 087 646 4389 -Thanks!!
Please make sure all pets are kept in the warmth and have water. Do not leave them out in the cold, if they are in the shed, make sure they have blankets (or even better straw), food and water. Keep them safe!

Hope all the following is helpful and a big thank you to Nollaig and of course Rudi!
