Ira – 12 year old female Ariegeois Hound

Ira is a 12-year-old female Ariegeois Hound with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. Rescued from a dire situation in 2022 where she was found starving in an outdoor cage, Ira has made an incredible recovery.

For the past three years, she has been well cared for in a kennel environment, but now, as a senior dog, she deserves to spend her twilight years in the comfort of a loving home.

Although Ira’s exact time left with us is uncertain, her vibrant spirit and zest for life make her a wonderful candidate for adoption. She’s now a confident, happy, and trusting dog who adores human attention.

Ira has a wagging tail and wiggly energy for everyone she meets, and she’s always eager for fuss and affection.

Ira currently shares her kennel with another dog, Freya, and her calming presence has done wonders to boost Freya’s confidence. While Ira is gentle and motherly towards younger dogs, she still has the hound’s trademark loud bark—used sparingly but unmistakably when it happens!

As a true scent hound, Ira is happiest with her nose to the ground, exploring the world through smells. Whether searching for a treat or following an intriguing scent, her curiosity keeps her active and engaged.

She also adores ear massages and chin rubs—her velvety ears are truly something special. However, typical of her breed, Ira’s recall isn’t her strong suit, so secure spaces for exploration are a must.

Ira is looking for a calm, rural home with a garden where she can enjoy a slower pace of life. Despite her age, she’s still fit, active, and healthy. She enjoys long walks, occasional sprints, and will eagerly jump up for treats. Ira would love to join a home with a warm sofa and plenty of cuddles.

She is good with other dogs and would happily live with a canine companion but is confident enough to be an only dog as well. She’s also fine with children aged 6+ and is largely indifferent to cats, making her a versatile addition to the right household.

Senior dogs like Ira are truly special. They bring immense love and joy to a home, and while their time with us may be shorter, the bond you build with them is priceless. Ira is an affectionate, loyal companion who deserves a peaceful and loving forever home.

Ira is currently based in Cyprus and has a clean bill of health. She’s ready to travel to her forever home as soon as one is found.

Boton – 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross

Image
Boton is a 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross. He is the result of another irresponsible litter. We rescued the mother with her babies when they were one month old in Northern Spain. After fighting against parvovirus only 2 babies survived and Botón is one of them. Poor Boton has had some bad luck in his short life… We thought we had found a lovely home for him, and then without so much as an explanation, the prospective adopters disappeared. So for this reason, Boton is still looking for his forever home, and we really want to make sure this time around, it’s the right one. His brother was recently adopted to the UK, and is doing very well, settling in like an absolute star and loving the company and attention of his new family. Boton is a well socialised and happy boy, he loves to play with other dogs and is friendly towards people, but he hasn’t been used to life in a home environment, so his future family need to be patient and understanding with him, to help him ...
