Sam Sam is a 4yr old boy...either Gordon Setter X Collie, or Bernese X Collie. Not as big as he looks in photos- he's just slightly more than medium size. He's such a super dog!! Would be brilliant at agility or something involving work and putting his talents to use! He's very stimulated by training, focussed and attentive, and food & toy oriented. Very well behaved and eager to please....a bit strong on the lead but welcomes correction and guidance. He is housetrained, but does mark his territory where there is an existing male dog, so he would do best as an only dog in his new home. Wormed/flead, vaccinated & neutered.

Ms Tilly Ms Tilly is a very pretty cat who is around 2yrs old. She gets on with other cats and also with dogs and children. Ms Tilly has been spayed and is available to an INDOOR home only as she is not the best to remember that all dogs are not cat friendly. If you have lots of love to give then this girl would be ideal for you as she just adores showering humans with love. CONTACT:Sheena, Clare Animal Welfare (0871315904 / 0868587142) email

Phoebe 5 month old Lab mix Phoebe is a loving girl with bundles of typical Lab energy. She's leadtrained, wormed & flead, and vaccinated. She would require an owner who will commit to socialising her well and continuing housetraining and obedience training with her...she's quite smart and housetraining is nearly sorted. She adores children, greets all people like longtime friends, and gets on very well with other dogs. Playtime is boisterous and energetic, so she would be suited to over 6 year old kids.

Dilly This sweet girl has been returned to our kennels as she was a little jealous of another dog in the household and we feel she would be more suited to being an only dog. Dilly is typical of her breed in that she gives 150% affection and just ADORES cuddling up on the sofa with her human friends. She is quiet and calm in the house and is not a high energy dog that needs a huge amount of exercise either, a great dog all-round! However, poor Dilly does not do well in a kennel environment and she gets terribly lonely and agitated. For this reason, we are desperate to find Dilly even a temporary home (without any other dogs) before she goes downhill while she waits for her new home. www.madra.ie CONTACT:MADRA, Galway (091 572 165 or 086 814 9026) email

Spencer He was adopted from a rescue centre by a family with two teenagers three years ago. Spencer is a big friendly fellow who loves his walks in the country side, and takes a nice stroll when given the freedom. He is not your dog when you want a watchdog for he is friends with mankind, other dogs and shares his bed with our cat. He is a great pet especially with children from about 12 years on because of his size. He is neutered and is up to date with his injections. We sadly have to let him go due to a neck injury, he deserves a loving and committed owner who preferably lives on the sea side or country side and can take him out for walks. www.galway-spca.com CONTACT:Galway SPCA (091 563631) email
