Biscuit

Picture
Biscuit is 6 years old and still entire.  The rescue will pay for neutering.
Based in County Kerry

Biscuit is looking for a pet free home where the owner is Kerry experienced.
His current owner describes him as a very energetic dog (a bit immature for his age) with loads of energy to play and have fun.
He would be suited to an owner who has patience and is willing to give him time.
It is unlikely that he is housetrained as he has lived in runs outside.

Murphy

Picture
Murphy is 5 years old and neutered.
Based in Co Durham

Murphy is described as a loyal and loving dog towards his family and the people he loves.
He needs to be managed with strangers and other pets he doesn't know.
He needs somebody who knows and understands the breed to help him blossom.
He lived with a female Kerry but we believe that he would flourish as an only dog in a household.
He cannot live with cats nor other small animals.  He is being rehomed following a sudden bereavement.

Lucy

Picture
Date of Birth: 26/01/21
Based in Cheshire
Neutered

Lucy is being rehomed following a family tragedy, it is through no fault of her own.
She is very much loved and this has been a very hard decision for her family.
She is used to being with someone who is at home most of the day but can be eft up to 4 hours if necessary.
​She is dog reactive and not suitable for homes with dogs, cats or other small animals.  She adores people and is fully housetrained.  

Jac

Picture
Sex: Male (Not neutered, Rescue to pay for this procedure
Location: Dorset

Jac is overexcitable and isn’t friendly towards other dogs.   He is described as very loving and quite often over the top in excitement with his want and need for human affection.   He loves humans but we do not recommend him mixing with young kids as he is very exuberant.  He will need a lot of training and a lot of time spent with him. A meet and greet prior to him going home with the right owner is imperative.

Current Kerries in Foster Homes

It is with great thanks that a number of our supporters offer themselves and their homes as a foster accommodation for newly received rescues.
Foster homes are such an important part of what we do, and gives new dogs a great first chance at a new life.

Some of these dogs end up being adopted by their foster carers, and in other cases they move on to suitable permanent new homes when the time is right.

To register interest in adopting a Kerry or becoming a foster carer yourself, please get in touch with us at [email protected] for an interest form.

Considerations

Choosing a Kerry in need of a new loving forever home is a big undertaking and not one to be taken lightly. Rescue and re-homed Kerry’s can present many challenges especially because in some cases their history is unknown. It requires a huge amount of patience. They will all have had their own experiences from their past, traumatised in a way; from mistreatment to just losing a home or owners and gaining another.

Always remember that you may be ready and prepared for the dog but the dog may not be ready or prepared for you.
the rescue will always be there to support and try and help in anyway we can but remember that every dog is an individual and so what works for one may not work for another.
