UPDATE: The owner has rehomed the dog without our help. Our apologies to the applicants for getting your hopes up and for wasting your time.

You can see our other dogs who are looking for loving homes here: https://www.clareanimalwelfare.ie

This stunning Cocker Spaniel is coming into our care this weekend, so we’re starting the search for her forever home already. Can you give her a share to help us? 🐾💕

Nugget is 4 years old and is sadly being surrendered through no fault of her own. Her owners have three young kids, including a young baby and a toddler, and they simply don’t have the time to give her the attention she deserves💔

She’s a really lovely, friendly girl who’s used to being part of a busy family. Nugget is great with other dogs and enjoys meeting them while out and about on her walks. We don’t know how she feels about cats though, so we’ll be looking for a cat-free home.

She’s a very easy-going girl when she goes to the groomers and she’s a star patient at the vets too🥰 As she’s an active Cocker, we’d love to find her a family where she’ll get plenty of fun walks, adventures and playtime. 🐾

If you live anywhere in Ireland and would love to offer Nugget the second chance she needs right now, please fill out our adoption form below:

Molly is ready to look for a home and is hoping to be adopted too 🤞

Molly is an ex breeder/show dog.
She is extremely confident on the lead and fears nothing.
She was housetrained so she should be easy to get back into a routine.
No cats or small pets.
Molly does not like to share her home with any female dog but has no issue with male her own size or bigger or she would be happy to be an only dog too.
She loves teenagers so that age would suit if present. She has never met any younger in age.

Molly is very laid back and easy going.
Ideal for a retired couple who want an easy going dog or for your older parent living alone. At 6 yrs old she is so sensible.
No barking no jumping up just a lovely girl who will be loved by one of ye.
