Dublin City Council Dogs

We are under contract to Dublin City Council's Animal Welfare Unit to provide safe, secure and comfortable accommodation to stray, seized or unwanted dogs. We strive to reunite lost dogs with their owners and to find new homes for dogs who need them.

Linda's Private Rescue

Founded by Linda Martin in February 2024, our private rescue works alongside the DCC contract. Every dog receives the same care and attention, and we work hard to rehabilitate where needed and find these dogs their forever home.

All visits are strictly by appointment only so we can keep the environment quiet, safe and restful for our dogs.

Dogs looking for homes

All adoptions are subject to a meet and a home check. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.

Atlas

Atlas

Staffy/Pitbull ยท Male ยท Blue/grey

โœจ Introducing Mr Smiley himself .. ๐‘จ๐’•๐’๐’‚๐’” ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿพ He is a 3 year old, neutered staffy x, who was surrendered into our care through no fault of his own ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

Atlas is the smiliest boy with the waggiest tail โ€ฆ he doesnโ€™t understand why his life has been turned upside down, but weโ€™re doing our best to make him feel right at home ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ Heโ€™s a friendly chap who is great with people , he just loves being told what a good boy he is ๐Ÿ˜‡

Atlas loves to play & adores his walks โ€ฆ sniffing the grass & seeing the world go by ! Weโ€™ve been told heโ€™s also rather fond of little drives in the car too โ˜บ๏ธ He can be a little strong to walk , but soon settles down , which you would expect for his kind of size. Heโ€™s got a gentle demeanour to him, has basic manners & doesnโ€™t snap treats from your handโ€ฆ however he can be a little excitable & jumpy at times. His previous owners suggest owing to this, he is best re-homed as an only dog & with children > the age of 12. We have no information of his exposure to cats.

Atlas really is a beautiful boy who had done no wrong & he has been a joy to have in our care. Like the rest of our dogs, he deserves a fresh start .. and a loving, playful forever home who will fall in love with him & treat him like the king he is ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿพ

Baloo

Baloo

Bullbreed ยท Male ยท White and brown

๐Ÿพ MEET BALOO ๐Ÿพ

This gorgeous 2-year-old American Staffy is looking for his forever home! Baloo was surrendered through no fault of his own โ€” his family found he'd simply grown bigger than they expected. He's a big, bouncy, affectionate boy who just wants to make friends with everyone he meets.

Baloo is still young and full of energy, and with the right guidance he's going to blossom into an amazing companion. He'd do best with an adopter who has experience with the breed and can help him with his manners โ€” a bit of consistent lead training and general obedience work will go a long way for this fella.

He's got a heart of gold and so much love to give โ€” he just needs someone patient enough to bring out the best in him. Could that be you?

๐Ÿ“ฉ DM us to find out more about Baloo and how to meet him!

Molly is a great girl to walk on the lead โ€ฆ when she gets going ๐Ÿคฃ We told ya, sheโ€™s a diva & sometimes a walk just isnโ€™t on her agenda that day โ€ฆ she just wants a roll about & some playtime. Sheโ€™s a low energy girl so wonโ€™t mind a duvet day if itโ€™s a little rainy outside โ˜”๏ธ She is happy to pass dogs on her walks, but definitely prefers her own space & for this reason she would be best re-homed as any only dog โ€ฆ Queen of her castle ๐Ÿ‘‘ She is not child or cat tested.

Molly really is a gorgeous , smiley girl โ€ฆ the gal knows what she wants & you canโ€™t tell her otherwise ๐Ÿคฃ She is super cuddly & loving .. and I mean look at the happy head on her .. she is just ๐Ÿ˜ Molly deserves a fresh chapter in her story โ€ฆ a fun , belly rubbing family who will treat her like the queen she is.

Poor Ace came into our care in a little bit of a state & full of fear โ€ฆ but after some quick vet care he has come on leaps & bounds โ€ฆ gradually settling into Hub life & deciding we are all friends now ๐Ÿพ

Ace can be a little nervous of men, however usually after plying him with treats he soon changes his tune & becomes your best friend ๐Ÿฅฐ When Ace gets to know you , he melts right infront of your eyes & is the friendliest , most loving boy โ€ฆ heโ€™s a softie underneath it all ๐Ÿฅน

Ace is great to walk on the lead, will happily trot by your side taking in the scenery & getting all the sniffs !

Ace is super playful & loves nothing more than playing fetch ๐ŸŽพ Heโ€™s rather good at catching the ball too ! He will drop his ball on command & has basic training , but heโ€™s a clever chappo & food driven so has the scope to learn more tricks ๐Ÿค“ He is gentle & mannerly, literally licks treats from your fingers ๐Ÿฆด Heโ€™s an all round great boy ๐Ÿฅฐ

Ace really is a special man, as mentioned he can be shy & nervous initially when he meets someone new โ€ฆ but it doesnโ€™t take him long to bring out his slobbery kisses & waggy bum - Heโ€™s just the cutest ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ Ace is far to young to be already searching for his forever home , he has so much love to give. And we just know he is going to make the most loving , loyal , cuddly best friend to someone soon ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿฉต ๐Ÿพ

Bowie is exactly what she says on the tin โ€ฆ a gentle ball of love & cuddles ๐Ÿฅฐ All this girl wants is to be close to you & told what a good girl she isโ€ฆ she would melt your heart ! You couldnโ€™t find a more loving girl who thinks sheโ€™s a Jack Russell & wants to sit on your lap ๐Ÿคฃ

Bowie has been so easy whilst in our care , sheโ€™s happy snoozing in her bed or being brought on a little toddle down the lane. Sheโ€™s low energy, so not impressed with major long walks but she does like to get out for a good wander & sniff ๐Ÿƒ

Bowie is non reactive with other dogs on her walks , she literally has zero interestโ€ฆ but not overly happy if a boisterous, bouncy dog gets in her face - With this in mind, she would be best re-homed as an only dog ๐Ÿ‘‘

Bowie really is a lovely little girl, what you see is what you get โ€ฆ a smiley , loving , cuddly potato ๐Ÿฉท Sadly Bowie is starting to stress in kennels, sheโ€™s decided we are not her forever home after all ๐Ÿคฃ Itโ€™s heartbreaking to see her starting to fret as sheโ€™s been very chill & laid back so far ๐Ÿ˜ข She deserves a fresh start in her life โ€ฆ a forever family who will shower her with cuddles & hugs โ€ฆ and make sure she has the comfiest of sofas for her snoozes ๐Ÿ˜ด Bowie deserves her fairytale ending too ๐Ÿฉท ๐Ÿพ

Meet Jeffrey ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Jeffrey is a 3-year-old Standard Bully with a heart as big as his frame. This big, friendly fella loves people and gets on brilliantly with other dogs, so he'd be a great companion for a home with a canine buddy.

Cats? Jeffrey couldn't care less. He's happy to ignore them and go about his business. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Once he's had his exercise, Jeffrey is more than happy to kick back and chill with you. He's also a very tidy lad, super clean in his kennel and great with his bedding, which bodes really well for life in a home. ๐Ÿ›๏ธโœจ

He's a big, strong boy, so we're looking for someone with breed experience who understands Bully types and can give him the space and structure he needs. In the right home, Jeffrey will settle in quickly and really blossom into the gentle giant he's meant to be.

โœ… 3 years old

โœ… Great with dogs

โœ… Indifferent to cats

โœ… Friendly and people-loving

โœ… Happy to chill once exercised

โœ… Super clean in his kennel and bedding

๐Ÿก Needs an experienced Bully owner and plenty of space
