Dougie Dougie is a very active Wheaten Terrier crossbreed who needs a new home as his owner's health has deteriorated. He's 2 years old, housetrained, and indoors most of the time. He obeys commands if he feels like it!! Quite an independent boy, adores children, and responds well to male leadership. Can be a bit narky with other dogs- depending on his form on the day!...so it would be best for Dougie to be an only dog. Frequent brushing will be required as his coat is semi long. And the photo of him really doesn't do him justice at all! Vaccinated and neutered. CONTACT:Homeward Bound (086 1013065) email

Special kitten 7 weeks old black, male kitten looking for loving home. He is very friendly and affectionate, purrs a lot, litter trained and wormed. He has a mild brain damage which shows on his walk. He is little wobbly but otherwise healthy and happy, the vet said it will not cause any problems in the future. He does everything else like other kittens, runs and plays. He will always be little clumzy, therefore he'll need an indoor home. He'll need someone that can ensure he'll get enough exercise and mental stimulation as he shouldnt be going out unsupervised. I'm sure that, anyone who decides to give him chance will fall in love with him! Home check will be carried out. I'm based in Dublin CONTACT:Petra (0851334091) email

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.
