Success Stories

 

 

" The last stop on the road to their forever homes"



 

 


 
 
 
A short time ago we showed a dog named 'Tarpy' on our web site, he had been abandoned & needed a new home.   It was so good to receive the following from his new forever family!
 
Tarpy settling in very well. Has become a firm supporter of the under 12 gaelic and soccer teams where he has been nominated by the players as the official mascot. They won all their matches since, including the all ireland community games final.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes
Gemma, Florent and Fintan

 

We recently found this Cocker Spaniel abandoned in the Castlebar area.   She had a severe skin condition, was badly matted, not underweight and an absolute pet, well behaved and very affectionate.   Very kindly Joan & Noel Scanlon offered her a home and took her back & forth to the vets for treatment at their own expense.   Goldie is now so happy with her companion 'Chance', also a Mayo Spca rescuee.   Thank you Joan & Noel for all your kindness - again!
 
Some time ago we showed little Alvin on our rehoming page and are happy to say that he is now renamed 'Popeye' and companion to Winnie.   Winnie had recently lost her Mum and was bereft.   It was not an immediate success but but a little time and patience from Annie in Sligo helped enormously.   Thanks Annie for giving little Alvin/Popeye such a kind home.   Its lovely to see Winnie happy and playing again.

 

 


Some time ago we showed a lovely cat named Crystal & her kittens all needing homes.   One of Crystal's kittens went to a lovely home in Dublin and is seen here happily settled in with her new friend.   Our thanks to Jenny, also to Eleanor who drove all the way to Dublin to deliver the kitten.

Some time ago we showed Bailey rearing a little black kitten that was dropped in Tesco's Car Park.   Thanks to an adorable devoted little dog & foster Mum lorna, the kitten was successfully reared and happily rehomed.   Thanks Bailey & Lorna!

 

Just to let you know Blane has settled in very well and has bonded well with everyone. 

He is very friendly and likes to be involved in everything that goes on !!   We would like to thank you for helping us find our friend for life.

2 of our rescued kittens, Bob & Bella, now so happy in their new home.   Our thanks to the lovely family that adopted them.

 
Jackson & Bella

Jackson was a cat we rescued from Achill Island, he had his leg caught in a lethal type of 'gin' trap, it was badly infected & had to be amputated.   Jackson was adopted by Maggs & Rodney in Sligo and as you can see is now such a happy cat, not finding his missing leg any hindrance at all!   Maggs tells us that he's happy indoors and afraid outside (not surprisingly) & can open the treats box with one paw.   Clever cat.   Thanks so much to Maggs & Rodney for giving Jackson such a loving & happy home.
 

 

 

 

Some time ago we rescued a beautiful kitten we named Izzie.   Izzie was adopted by Clodagh and has a new Sister Jessie, a King Charles Spaniel.   Everybody is happy together, Izzie is much adored and our thanks to Clodagh and her family for giving her such a loving, caring home. 

 


 

 
Lexie was a kitten born to Ellen, a lovely young cat rescued from Achill Island and was kindly offered a home by Muireann who tells us she is a complete pet, adores being the centre of attention and getting lots of cuddles! She is totally spoilt - as you can see from her toy collection. She loves her food, playing with her toy mice and even likes to watch TV sometimes! She is so curious and adventurous - so far she has ended up on top of the curtain rails and has even climbed up the chimney! I will keep you all update on Lexie as she gets older.
 
Thanks Muireann for giving little Lexie a loving home.

 

 

Sandy was rehomed earlier this year (2010) after being abandoned by her owner. along with many cats, a horse & another beautiful dog.   Carmel and her family kindly adopted Sandy and tell us she is the most beautiful dog and the best thing her family could have done!   She's wonderful with the children, a great watchdog, very protective and such a happy addition to their family.   Thanks Carmel to you and your family for giving Sandy a great life.   She deserved it.

 


 

 

We recently rescued and showed Lady on the web site, she had been left tied to a tree, had no shelter & her nose was badly sunburned.    She is now companion to Thomas, has settled in her new home with Claire really well & they are great pals.   Many thanks Claire for giving Lady a great home. 

 


 

 

We rescued Mandy (then seen on the rehoming page as Maddy) some time ago, she was lucky enough to be adopted by Elaine, and is a companion to Sean.   Mandy was a badly treated dog and we have to thank Elaine sincerely for all the work she put into this dog, still not overly confident but very happy in her lovely forever home.    Elaine has used a 'dog whisperer' with great success.   Cooney's owners may be very interested to see his Mum!  

 


A happy home for one of our rescued black lab x pups
 
 
Here are some pictures of little Pepper as she is now called! She has settled in very nicely to her new home and she absolutely adores the other dogs, and they love her just as much - they all play in the garden during the days and at night they share a bed!
She's full of energy like a puppy should be, but is also extremely affectionate and she has already learned 'sit'! She's a tough little girl aswell, playfighting with the border collie, she loves rough play.

I will keep you updated of her progress and send lots of pictures during the months to come!

Many hugs from Cecilia and Pepper!

 

 



 

Some time ago we rescued Daisy and she was fortunate enough to be adopted by the Dempsey family where she lives happily with her pals, Minnie, Dora & best friend Teddy the cat.   Our thanks to the Dempsey family for giving her such a loving, happy forever home.

 

 

Jack & Lizzie won 1st prize at the Duck Race,  Erik adopted two of Mayo Spca's rescued dogs and was fortunate enough to win 1st prize at the Duck Race recently held in Ballyhaunis.   Erik kindly returned the prize to be used again.   We thank him for his kindness and generosity.

 

 

Cooney was born in our care and was a pup born to Maddy.   He is now 10 months old and a much loved member of the McDermot family.   Thank you the McDermot family for giving him such a loving home, he's the most beautiful looking young dog & so happy.


 

 

We recently rehomed a rescued kitten to Grainne.   Grainne named her Anew and she's quite a character!   She loves Grainne's dog, the horse and its saddle, taking all the toilet tissue from the bathroom and has taken over the whole house.   Lucky kitten!   Our thanks for giving her such a great home.


 


Domino & Bento so happy & contented in their new home with Niall.  
Thanks Niall for giving them such a loving home.
Attached a video clip of Bento watching Domino playing. Watch and enjoy yourself - 



 


This is Sid in his new home with the Maloney family, as you can see he is very happy. He might even be a new cast member of the Hardy Bucks if they can fit him in.

Regular followers of our web site would have seen Ellie as needing a new home after being abandoned by her owner (along with cats, another dog & pony) in the Ballyvary area of Mayo.   We are so pleased to show her here, happy & contented in her new home with Bea & family in Kent, UK.   Bea tells us they love her to bits and so does everyone else that meets her.   Thanks Bea for trusting us to send you Ellie without even seeing her.


 

 

Sabby & Maisie so happy now in their forever home with Jacqui & Mick.  

Many thanks.


 

 

Scooter (now known as Uisce) so happy in his new home.   We're told he's much loved and thoroughly spoiled!


 

 

You may remember Mork & Minty who were 2 pups rescued in a shocking state.   This is Minty, now named 'Muffin' happy and much loved in her forever home.


 

 

Buttons so happy and much loved in her new home.   Still needs nursing and our thanks to Poppy for her kindness.


 
Sandy, now renamed Izzy was brought into care in a distressed state and was rehomed to Laura in Swinford.   Laura has sent us these photo's with the following message.
  
'Now the most loved, lazy dog in Ireland. She has her tail and legs flying in the morning all excited to go out, then after about 5 minutes is flat out on the floor again. When she manages to sneak onto the couch she takes over almost all of it, flat on her back, legs in the air, fully expecting some serious affection and rubbing!! I recommend hounds to anyone, they are so very affectionate and easy going. As well as being very loyal. Thank you very much for her.'  Laura

Thank you Laura for giving her such a loving home.

 


 

Glen (now known as Crunchie) was a sweet natured dog brought into care in a highly nervous, distressed state, his coat matted & filthy.   Fortunately for him he is now in a loving home with Pauline, one of mayo spca's dedicated volunteers.   Pauline had him shaved, washed & kindly nursed him along.   Thanks Pauline for giving him a loving home.

 


 

 

Mimzy was rescued in a really poor state, suffering from malnutrition, hardly any hair and very nervous.   Today she's happy, healthy, adores running around the field and lounging around the house with a companion jack russell.   Our thanks to Suzie & Sean for giving such a great home not only to Mimzi but to three of our other rescued dog.


 

 

This is PETE, a MAYO SPCA rescue dog who was adopted by Dirk in Germany.

Pete was rescued in 2002 and nursed back to health by Marian Beisty.   Just a pup weeks old he was thrown over Marian's garden wall, he had pneumonia, was so ill.  It was touch and go whether or not he would live.   Thanks to Marian's care, he did survive and the same year he was sent to Dirk in Germany to be trained for Search & Rescue as he was such an intelligent, willing dog.  Dirk is a member of the The Medical Disaster Relief Germany Search & Rescue team.  Pete is now deployed to HAITI with Dirk and the SAR team from Germany.  www.teamdogs.de

We are so proud to show this article today and to know that one of our rescuees is doing such invaluable work.

Read the full story here, when you open the page, click HAITI to read the full story.

 


 
Twister was a sweet young male dog thrown from a car tied up in a bag in the Irishtown area of Mayo.   Unfortunately the kind people who saw movement inside the bag were in such shock to find a dog that they did not manage to obtain the car registration number!   They named him Twister as he twisted round and round in circles in such a distressed state.   We had him neutered, vet checked, flea/worm treated and he was found to be house/lead trained, good with and used to children and altogether an adorable little fella.   Our thanks to Veronica & her family from Westport who very kindly gave him a new home.

 
TOFFY
Thanks for letting me have him,     To be honest, after Brandy and Jamie I actually thought I'd lost my love of dogs, but it wasn't me at all.   He's a very precious boy and the best thing that's happened to me for a long time.  Loretta

 

 

Some time ago Jennifer & her partner adopted a beautiful cat from Mayo spca, and not long afterwards found this poor creature barely resembling a cat in the most shocking state.   It took them time, a lot of care, and no doubt quite a considerable amount of cash, but they restored the poor pathetic creature to full health & to see her today is just amazing.   Well done Jennifer!   What a great job!   What a beautiful cat!   If everyone were as kind as yourselves then we would have no work to do???


 

 
Magic & Merlin

Some time ago we were looking for a home for Aine and her pups, two pups were rehomed together, Magic & Merlin.   Both came to visit kennelling with their owners yesterday (21.3.2010) and it was so good to see them happy, much loved & so well cared for.
Our thanks to Michelle and Rob for giving them such a kind home.


 

 

Chance was recently adopted by Karen & has a wonderful life out and about with Karen & her horses all day.   She tells us he's a very tired dog by evening time and is really enjoying life.   Thanks Karen for giving Chance such a great home.


Pixie so happy in her new home with Declan & family.

 


Our thanks to Anita and family for giving a loving home to Butch the Rottweiller.  Butch is a constant companion to Mia, also a Rottweiller, they are great friends.

 


   

Chris the collie now so happy in his new home with Anne McCabe in Louiseburgh.   Ann tells us he is such a 'dote' and can now run up the stairs and along the beach.   What a great ending to such a cruel, sad story.   Many thanks to Ann & her family for giving Chris such a loving home.
 
 
You may remember the shocking story of two collie dogs, one tied by his neck with barbed wire to a tree.   Fortunately for Dave, Brenda travelled all the way from N.I  in appalling weather, to give Dave a loving home.   He's settled in, is happy and gets along very well with Brenda's mature setter.   He looks so well, especially after Brenda had all the matting removed from his coat (he was too thin to do it before).   Many thanks Brenda for loving & caring for Dave, he deserved the great home you went to so much trouble to give him.
 
 
 
 
 

28 August 2010

Here are a couple of more recent photos of our lovely Dave. He has become less camera shy as you can see!
His coat has come in thick and shiny. He loves a groom and goes into a trance when I start it.

His favourite thing is to roll in the grass or rushes. He tears around like a mad thing at times when he gets super excited before walks. You daren't move as he comes charging straight at you; he knows what side he's going to go round you, so all we can do is stand still for him to pass by and tear on. There have been a couple of near misses with us but poor Molly has been crashed into a few times! He also has this funny habit of throwing himself down on the grass beside you for you to give him a rub. He sometimes goes the full 360 degrees in his enthusiasm. Always makes me laugh.

He is wonderful, better behaved than our Molly actually! He has come so far since he arrived with us and I still see improvements in him even now. He is a real homebird and never leaves the yard and garden even if the gate is accidently left open. (He would never have strayed from his home in Mayo I'm sure, so to think someone dropped him off in a strange place to fend for himself makes me sad and mad.)

Anyway hope you enjoy the photos of another success story, all thanks to yourselves and your tireless effort.
Thanks again for saving Dave for us. He is a wee gem.

Kind regards,

Brenda

PS he stole another 1/2 lb of butter recently and then managed to get a corn cob from the bin and ate that too. I was so worried but he passed all the bits over the next few days. I dont think anyone has been more keen to see a dog poo than I was for those couple of days!

 


 

 

Lizzie & Jack are now two much loved dogs adopted by Erik & Rita.   The photo of Lizzie alone shows the shocking state she was in when adopted, initially found in the ditch with pups & infested with ticks, Lizzie had a hard time clinging to life!   Our thanks to Erik & Rita for giving such a great home to two very deserving cases.


 

 

  

  Poppy seen here happy in her new home with Jabba and Spot.   Our thanks to Emma.


 

             
 
This is Bernadette AKA Daisy one week after being adopted by us.
She has settled in very well and is great friends with our Dogs and Cats.
She pays no attention to the chickens or ducks.
We are still walking her on the lead. We took her to the Vet last Tuesday for her check-up, she has increased her weight from 14 k when she was rescued to 21k.
She returns for a further check next week.
Kind Regards,
Bob and Mattie.

 

 

Summer is a x bred labrador who was an unwanted pup.   She is now the most loved & adored girl who was adopted by the Puddicombe family in the UK.   Our thanks to them for giving Summer such a wonderful home.   The picture speaks for itself.


 

       

We have called him Hector and he is totally a part of our lives. As I had a springer for many years I wanted a little man who was full of energy and character.
 
He is so loving and entertaining and great with other dogs. He gets so much love and walks abound. We go out on the Ashdown Forest here and he loves it. He is also quite obedient too. He never lets me far from his sight but has the confidence to explore.
 
Thank you much for him, he is more than I could have asked for. Also thank you for helping all those poor innocent animals and giving them hope.
 
I attach some photos of him. He lives in Langton Green in Kent.
 
Regards Gilly

 


 

 

I adopted Sonny and Cher, henceforth known as Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle ( I was watching the film at the time). Attached is a picture of them in their favourite position, "chirruping" at the birds through the living room window. The dogs have accepted them. We introduced them gradually. Peter just lies around in front of Florence whilst Tink is very much person orientated. She spends hours sat on people and despite being the smallest of the animals (with the exception of Betty the tarantula) she is very much the boss. All defer to her, although Lily maintains her position as lady of the kitchen food cupboard. Nothing will make her move from that!


MIA happy in her forever home and our thanks to Sinead and family for braving the bad weather to come and collect her. 


MILO so happy in his new home with Markus & Family who travelled all the way from Co. Clare & braved the bad weather.   Many thanks for giving MILO the home he so deserved.
 




Hope you are all well at Mayo SPCA.
 
 I am attaching a photo of the Pup which you got for me in September whom I've named Shep. He has made a fine pup and he is so intelligent, loyal and effectionate.
 
When he is 6 months old I will contact you to organise having him neutered.
 
2009 has been a great year for me in general thank God, but finding this pup has really crowned it off. I am so delighted with him, and I cannot thank you enough for finding him for me. Everyday I visit your web-site and I always highly recommend your invaluable work to everyone.
 
Thanks again and I wish you the very best of everything for Christmas and New Year.
 
Bye for now
 
John Cafferkey from Achill

 


Hi Anne - well things seems to be good here, both dogs have settled down so well together I can hardly believe it.  Odd growls from Sweeney when Smartie oversteps the mark but nothing serious.   As you can see they sometimes share the same basket, so perhaps this would make a good 'forever home' picture.  

I hope you and your family have a good Christmas, please give my best wishes to Marian and her family.
love to you for now - Val, Sweeney and Smartie

 


 

Brid so happy in her new home with Niamh & Family in Dublin. 

 

 Almost a year ago we rescued & rehomed a beautiful GSH pup that we named Brid.  Now renamed Layla.    She had been rescued via a breeder & was very sick,  traumatised severely underweight.    Catherine fostered & nursed her back to health & finally she was rehomed to Niamh and family in Dublin.   Niamh tells us that she is as good as gold and never leaves her side.   Thanks for giving her such a good home, she deserved it after all her suffering.


   
He was rescued by a vet who unfortunately had to amputate his leg.

MILLIE is a young St. Bernard brought into care a few months ago in  a shocking state and suffering from severe malnutrition.   Thanks to Anne Marie and her family she is in a very happy home today and much loved.


 

Our sincere thanks to Claire McDowell of Barna, and everyone who supported her running the Dublin Marathon, she  raised 355.00 euro which she sent to help our animals.   We appreciate her efforts so much, especially at this time of the year when the level of animal cruelty and abandonment is so high.   Six months ago Claire very kindly adopted a spaniel x from Mayo SPCA, we named him Snoopy, he's now called Mickey and keeps her on her toes!

Rex was one of a litter of rescued very badly treated pups during the summer of 2009.    Kindly fostered by Catherine, Rex was rehomed to Mary in Roscommon who tells us he is adorable, loves staring into the fire and won't go to bed until the tv is switched off!   Thanks Mary for giving little Rex such a loving home.


 

 

Magda's family of our rescuees keeps on growing as since adopting Sam and the kitten (now grown) she has kindly given a home to one of our adorable pups.   They all get along so well together.   Thanks Magda.


 

 

 

SCAMPI is one of our recently rescued pups, seen here very happy in his new home in Surrey, UK.


 

 

 

MACKIE was an unwanted dog rehomed to Gareth & family.   Much adored and so happy in his new home.   Thanks Gareth!


 

 

 

LOGAN was adopted by Allan & Hellen in Sussex, UK.   He is a whole new dog, has a friend in little TOMMY, also rescued, is so happy and contented in his new home.  

Our thanks to Allan & Hellen.

   

Dear Mayo Spca,  Logan here
Sorry I haven't been in touch for ages but been settling in. My mum Hellen
has started me doing agility now and I am going for my bronze medal very
soon.
The cats I am living with I get on well with and I really love Tommy the
little dog now, he is the one on the sledge cause he ended up with loads of
snowballs in his fur, but as you can see I loved the snow. (expect when he
goes for my favourite toy) My auntie Mary from Ireland is staying at the
moment, thanks to her I have a good new home. I have the open country side
on my door step plenty of walkies. I have met the girl of my dreams up the
fields called Candy, {she is the one on the right ) Everybody says what a
happy chappie I am. I love it when Hellen's friend children come round and
play ball in the big back garden. I am a real daddys boy I love it when he
comes home from work that means more biscuits.
Speak soon Lots of licks Logan & the Salter family including Tommy X

 

 

Sean was very kindly rehomed some time ago by Elaine, he was a nervous and suspicious dog who had not had a good life.   Just look at him now!   Thank you Elaine for loving him, returning him to normality and giving him such a happy life.


 

 

Several weeks ago we rehomed young Fizz to Andrea in Surrey, UK.   Its so good to see what a great life he's enjoying with his new found friend,   Our thanks to Andrea for offering him a lovely home.


 

   

Kylie (now Patch) in her forever home with friend Oscar, in Kent, UK.   Our thanks to Susan, Marco & Alex for giving this little dog such a caring home.   She and her sibling were due to be put to death if we had not brought them into care.

 


 

 

We have recently adopted one of your puppies a male Collie x Australian cattle dog called Jason (now called Bonza)  Bonza is doing well and living in Redhill, Surrey, UK. We are all smitten he's attending puppy classes and learning lots. We feel privileged to have such a special little dog. 
Thank you so much
Roy & Tamara


 

 

 

Earlier this year we sent two rescued cross bred labrador pups to new homes in the UK.   As you can see they are clearly enjoying life in Surrey.


Taylor - Happy in her new home.


 
8.9.09 BOBBY & HOUNSON

Peter & Lesley from Ballinrobe kindly adopted a dog from us approx 3 years ago, a really pathetic creature who had been tied outside and fed raw, rotting meat.   He was in a sorry state and we are delighted to see Hounson in the beautiful condition he is today.   Bobby strayed into Peter and Lesley one Winter in the most appalling state, matted, filthy, stinking, his tail totally bald, they named him Bobby and nursed him back to health and what a magnificent dog he is.   Peter & Lesley kindly sent us these photo's with a lovely note as follows:-

'You have provided us with several wonderful dogs that were in desperate need of a loving home and the ongoing support we have received from you all has proved invaluable in bringing our rescuees back to the health and happiness they needed.   Nothing was ever too much trouble.   We give whatever we can afford to your very worthy organisation when we can'.   Peter & Leslie Fitzgibbon,  Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo.


 

 

We rescued Hazard some time ago from Balla, a terrified and starving staffie - listed as a dangerous dog!   Hazard is now in a lovely home which he shares with a toddler and all is well.   We would like to point out that it is not the breed that is dangerous but what people do to the breed - no dog is born 'dangerous'.

 


 

Buzz the terrier was adopted by Meg 6 years ago and last August she gave a home to two of our gorgeous kittens Allegro and Mo, its so heartwarming to see all three so happy, healthy & contented together.   3 animals that otherwise would have had no future if not rescued by MAYO SPCA.   Thank you Meg!


 

Coco was one of an unwanted litter of pups from the Westport area.   Emma Walkin travelled all the way from Dublin to give him a very loving home - as clearly these photo's show.   Our thanks to Emma and family.


 

 

TROY was a beautiful black labrador abandoned and taken in by mspca during the Winter months.   Its good to see him so happy in his new home and our thanks to Mary Duffy and her Son for giving him the care and love he so deserved. 


 

 

Cody so happy in his new home where he made himself very comfortable.  

Our thanks to Roy and his family for giving Cody such a caring home.


 

  

Anita travelled a long way to adopt a kitten named 'Basil' from us a few months ago. Now renamed 'Wolly' he is very happy in his new home and has a huge fascination with water, sinks & toilets. Keeps Anita really on her toes!  


 


 

 Rocco happy in his forever home.

 


 

Chance was adopted by Joan & Noel 7 years ago.   A very pathetic badly treated collie at that time.   He would still chase a tractor, is desperately afraid of thunder and if he got out of the house would just wander about with no notion of returning home.   He has a wonderful life and our sincere thanks to Joan & Noel for giving him a 'Chance'.


 

 

 

Millie, a dog with a bad start in life, but now so beautiful and much loved in her forever home with Frederique.


 

 

IVOR, one of our many rescued kittens, seen here 'chilled out' after his frantic play time at his new home in Dublin.   Our thanks to Eric for making the journey in order to give little Ivor a new, loving home of his own.

 


 

 

BLUE was a MAYO SPCA pup adopted by Jennifer & Olivia.   They recently moved overseas to live and took BLUE with them.   We wish them all the best in their new life and can see Blue is enjoying his.   Our thanks for giving him such a loving home.


 

SAMPSON, so happy in his new home with Laurie.   Our thanks to Laurie for giving this beautiful dog a caring home.   They never deserve the 'bad press' they so often receive.


 

 Jessie one year later, happy as ever.

Jessie had a very rocky start in life and was not well cared for, had no training and was quite a handful, but good natured.   She now enjoys life to the full, loves playing football, is great with the Grandchildren of John & Jan, who we thank for giving Jessie the chance to prove she was a 'good girl' really!


 

JULY, 09.   SCAMP (we named him Woof) was reunited with his owner after being in our care for two weeks!   His family had gone on holiday and left their 3 dogs in the care of a friend........if only he had been wearing an ID tag he could have saved us all a great deal of trouble, not to mention the poor dog missing his family.  
(We would remind folks that their pet should be licensed, collared, wearing an ID tag and kept under control at all times please, this is in accordance with the County Bye Laws).   Fiona, the Dog Warden, will have no choice but to fine people not conforming.


    

HARRY relaxing on the settee in his new home - and new Sisters!

HARRY the St. Bernard who came into our care in a shocking condition has made wonderful progress and will be going to his new home with Stephen & Alison on Sunday 26.7.09.   He will have two wonderful companion girl friends 'Crystal' and 'Bailey' (both St. Bernards) for companionship and play.   We extend a huge thank you to Karen Dervan and family for nursing this poor creature back to health, to Marian and the members and volunteers who helped to care for him.   He is such a beautiful dog and can now look forward to a good life.

Suzi (now Lucy) so happy in her new home with adorable Bichon companion, you would think them an 'odd couple', but they're the best of friends.   Our thanks to Pat & Valerie for giving Suzi such a wonderful forever home.


  
Hi to all at Mayo Spca. Dudley is a wonderful dog and everyone we meet loves him. He is incredibly well behaved and has a lot of fun with his pal Jenna. He enriches all our lives every day. He is doing so well and are proud to be his forever family. Thanks to all you helped Dudley! Blessings.....Majella, Pete,Cian and Saoirse.

Sam & Buster so happy in their forever home.  

Every picture tells a story!   Our sincere thanks to Joanne and her Husdband for giving Sam & Buster such a loving home.


   

The lovely Bella with her neck all nicely healed, so happy &  much loved in her new home. 

  Our sincere thanks to Lisa for nursing her well and giving her the opportunity to love life again. 

Bella 1 year on. 

Hi Annie,
 
It's been exactly one year since we adopted Bella from the Mayo SPCA (she is the border collie whose neck was cut open by a rope).
 
She is such a fantastic dog....she came on leaps and bounds from the first day we brought her home. She is loving, loyal, and and an all-around pure pet.
 
This is just a thank you again for the good work that you all do. When we finally move to our new house on the farm, we'll be visiting you again for a second dog, and maybe even another kitty (our Nibbler, who also came from you, is a completely handful in the best way!).
 
Thanks again to you and everyone at the MayoSPCA.
 
Lisa Fahy, Bella, and Nibbler

 

Shane doing so well in his new home.   Our sincere thanks to Sinead for her kindness.


Our rescued 'Jake' happy in his new home.  




This is a lovely photo of 'ole blue eyes, now renamed Louis. Sometime ago we showed photo's and told the story of poor ole blue eyes, who had to have his eyelids stitched down and went through a great deal of treatment and discomfort in order to save at least some eyesight.   He is now able to see and so very happy with Kathy who adores him!   He goes everywhere with Kathy and we thank her sincerely for giving Louis a happy, loving home. 


 

This is bobby, last year we showed BOBBY, a female spaniel X who had been through a really tough time in the Ballina area. She was running loose for 3 years and had 2 litters of pups during that time. The pups were removed by another SPCA but they could not catch hold of BOBBY. Fortunately she is so very happy in her new home now in Dublin with mandy, a much loved family pet who adjusted so well to all the kindness & tlc given by her new family. Thank you Mandy for giving her such a loving home. She had suffered so much.
