Charlie
Charlie is just under 5 years old, neutered and currently based in Dublin. He is described as is a very social and loving dog. He loves spending time with people which includes playing and rubs. His favourite toys are balls, and he enjoys playing chase. He does try to constantly guard his territory, so he will bark when he’s in the backyard and he hears something behind the fence. When going for walks, he is kept on a short leash when walking on public paths. He doesn’t like loud noises and isn’t friendly with other dogs unless he gets to spend time with them in a controlled environment. He will run towards things he doesn’t like and try to bite towards it.
Charlie requires a Kerry experienced home.

Blue
Blue is believed to be around 7 years old.
He’s microchipped and is not neutered (the Rescue will pay for this to be done once Blue has moved into a new home).
He is based on The Wirral in Merseyside.
He is described as a lively, bouncy Kerry who just loves attention but due to his current circumstances,
he hasn’t been getting much exercise. When Blue hears noises passing, he will bark, he will also bark at the window when he sees birds and barks at the postman. Blue has not been socialised with other animals.

Alfie
Almost 11 years young and this handsome fella is looking for a loving home.
It’s breaking his owners heart but unfortunately circumstances dictate that she cannot keep him,
she’s had him since he was 10 weeks old and he is much loved.
He is a very loving boy who is used to a busy house and family life.
He currently lives with two older female dogs and happily accepts his place as third in the pack.
He also gets along with dogs in the extended family after an introduction.
Alfie can be reactive to some dogs while out walking and also likes to let you know if there are people or dogs passing by the house by barking.

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.
