At Cairn Rescue, our animals are our first priority. We take very seriously the responsibility of finding good, permanent homes where the animals can spend the rest of their lives in a loving, nurturing environment. We've rescued them once — we don't want to have to rescue them again. 
 
Therefore, we go through quite a process to ensure, as best as possible, that each dog will be suitably matched to its new owners and its new home, and that potential adopters are fully aware of the responsibilities involved in owning one of the dogs. It can take some time and requires best efforts but we think it's in the best interests of everyone involved. We do insist on a homevisit before homing our dogs.

In order to sustain rescue and to cover kennel fees and vet bills as some of these dogs have been injured and require vet care there is an adoption fee for our rescue dogs and every new owner must sign and adoption contract.

All our dogs must be neutered.

Fostering a dog is also an option where a dog is fostered for a period of time before a permanent home is identified. This is an excellent solution for those who love animals but cannot home one on a permanent basis.
 
If you are interested in homing a dog through Cairn Rescue contact marie@cadagio.com alternatively visit our links page for other Irish animal rescue sites, good homes always wanted.

A lot of time is spent on rescue dogs and at times we do not have time to update the site with current dogs as saving them is the main priority just because there is not a dog on the site listed looking for a home does not necessarily mean we do not have a rescue dog at the present time.

We also work with other rescues to help find homes for cairns that they take in we will forward people to rescues that have cairns and any donation or adoption fee is at the discretion of the rescue.

Here are some of the lucky ones who made there way to rescue and have been homed and some still awaiting homes.  Please contact us if you wish to help any of the dogs.
