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

Lucky Lucky and her litter mate Casey are both looking for new homes. They are lively dogs with magnificent silky coats and will need active new families to keep them busy and out of mischief. They have both already completed their dog obedience classes and are very clean friendly dogs but as they are a mix of two working breeds (Border Collie & Spaniel) their training will need to be kept up if they are to reach their potential. They are only 8 months old now and will bring a lot of joy and happiness to the right owner. They will be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. www.madra.ie CONTACT:MADRA, Galway (091 572 165 or 086 814 9026) email
