🐾❤️ Happy 1st Anniversary in Your Forever Home, Tiny! ❤️🐾
One year ago, Tiny left Dogs Aid and started the next chapter of his life and what an incredible year it has been.
Looking through these photos fills us with so much joy. From cosy naps and birthday celebrations to adventures, walks, holidays, and making new friends, Tiny has truly embraced every moment of his new life.
Most importantly, he is clearly adored. The love and bond between Tiny and his wonderful dad shines through in every photo, and seeing him so happy, safe, and cherished is everything we could ever hope for one of our dogs.
This is what rescue is all about. A dog who once needed a second chance is now living a life full of love, comfort, adventure, and belonging.
Happy 1st anniversary, Tiny. Thank you to your amazing dad for giving you such a wonderful life. We couldn't be happier for you both, and we look forward to seeing many more years of adventures ahead.
With lots of love from all of us at Dogs Aid. ❤️🐾

We are getting some essential work done at the sanctuary so are only open by appointment. Have a look at our website www.dogsaid.ie , see if any of the dogs there are your new best friend and ring Maggie, the sanctuary manager, on 087 2944310 to make an appointment to meet the dog.
Many thanks for your understanding.
MARLOW 🩵
Breed: Terrier X
Age: 3
S*x: Male
Size: Small
(Microchip no. 972274200688697)
Apart from Marlow being the prettiest boy in Dogs Aid😍😍he’s also one of the most affectionate loving boys as well💙.
He enjoys his walks and sniffs🐾and he’s the best boy on the lead🦮.He also loves to snooze💤preferably in your arms 😉🤣.
Marlow can be reactive to other dogs so would need to be homed as an only pet🐶.This is something that will require some time & consistent training to help overcome so an owner with some experience would be beneficial.
Marlow is suitable to live with Teens + 🐾
If you’re interested in adopting Marlow, please come visit the sanctuary any day between 1-4pm (except Tuesdays, we are closed). No appointment needed. If you’d like further information, please RING Maggie at the sanctuary on 0872944310. We are based in Meakstown, D11E674 (2 min drive from Charlestown Shopping Centre).

🐾 A Special Day at Leinster House 🐾
A huge thank you to Barry Heneghan for inviting some of the core members of Dogs Aid to Leinster House.
It was a lovely opportunity for Maggie and some of our volunteers to visit Leinster House and enjoy a memorable day representing Dogs Aid and the dogs we care for.
As a charity that relies entirely on the generosity of the public, fundraising, and the dedication of our volunteers, opportunities like this are always greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Barry, for your warm welcome, your kindness throughout the day, and for taking the time to meet with us. We were made feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
We look forward to welcoming you to the sanctuary in the future.
Thank you again for a lovely day and for your support of Dogs Aid. ❤️🐾

**BOOKED**MEG 🌼
Breed: Terrier X
Age: 1
S*x: Female
Size: Small
(Microchip: 972274001671967)
Our gorgeous girl, Miss Meg, showing off her beautiful smile this weekend 💛 Poor Meg came into us as a stray so we don’t know much about her background. At only a year old, Meg hasn’t had the best start in life. She is such a sweet, affectionate & loving girl. She just adores people and lights up as soon as our volunteers take her out.
Meg is an energetic little lady and loves her sniffy, busy walks (she has things to do!) 😅 She would benefit if someone is home a good portion of the day to help settle her in. She will thrive once given routine, regular exercise & of course, all the love in the world ❤️ At just a year old, she would benefit from some further training & socialisation.
🐶 Meg is best suited as the only dog in the home
🏠 Suitable to live with Older Children / Teens +
🐾 Will need regular exercise, routine & not left for long periods of time throughout the day.
⚠️ No cats or small furries please!
If you’re interested in adopting Meg, please visit the sanctuary any day between 1-4pm (except Tuesdays, we are closed). No appointment needed. If you’d like further information, please RING Maggie at the sanctuary on 0872944310. We are based in Meakstown, D11E674 (2 min drive from Charlestown Shopping Centre)

**BOOKED**SPARKY 🌟 (videos in comment section)
Breed: Pug / Bichon
Age: 2
S*x: Male
Size: Medium
(Microchip: 981020002591370)
Our beautiful boy, Sparky, was surrendered to the sanctuary through no fault of his own. Sadly, his owner was no longer able to care for him. He is a gorgeous boy inside & out (we think his little underbite is just adorable!) 😅 He is a very friendly, loving & happy little man. He walks well on lead and just loves his sniffy, busy walks 🐾 Sparky was lucky enough to have a pamper day with and was one of the best behaved dogs they’ve had!
🐶 Sparky gets on well with most other dogs so can be
homed on his own or with another female (pending a
meet & greet)
❤️ Sparky loves his company. He will thrive with routine,
regular exercise & stimulation. He is still a young boy
who would benefit from someone who can further his
training & socialisation.
🏠 Suitable to live with Older Children / Teens
⚠️ No cats or small furries please!
If you’re interested in adopting Sparky, please visit the sanctuary any day 1-4pm (except Tuesdays, we are closed). No appointment needed. If you’d like further information, please RING Maggie at the sanctuary after 12pm on 0872944310. We are based in Meakstown, D11E674 (2 min drive from Charlestown Shopping Centre)
MARY 🩷
Breed: French Bulldog
Age: 3
S*x: Female
Size: Small
(Microchip: 972274200437979)
Mary is our sweet girl who is patiently waiting for her forever home🏡🙏.
She is a little dote who enjoys her walks and is good on the lead but her very favourite thing is sitting beside her person getting love and cuddles 🫶🏻😍
Mary’s ideal home would be with someone who is around most of the day. She isn’t the biggest fan of other dogs so needs to be the only dog in the home setting. Older children / Teens+ in the home would be best.
If you’re interested in adopting Mary, please visit the sanctuary anyday 1-4pm (except Tuesdays) - no appointment needed. If you’d like further information, please RING Maggie at the sanctuary on 0872944310. We are based in Meakstown, D11E674 (2 min drive from Charlestown Shopping Centre)
