At MoonAcre Sanctuary, our mission is to provide safety, dignity, and love to every animal we rescue. While many of the dogs in our care go on to find their forever homes, we recognise that adoption is not the right outcome for every dog. Some arrive with complex medical or behavioural needs that make placement in a traditional home unsafe or unsuitable.
For these special dogs, MoonAcre becomes home for life. As permanent residents of the sanctuary, they receive individualised care, stability, and the freedom to live peacefully at their own pace.
You can help make this lifelong care possible by sponsoring a resident dog for €10 per month. Sponsorship provides vital support for daily needs such as nutritious food, ongoing veterinary care, enrichment, and comfort.
Meet our Dogs Available for Sponsorship:
Little Gemma is a tiny wire-haired terrier mix who came to MoonAcre after being diagnosed with paralysis caused by disc compression on her spinal cord. As her previous owners were unable to provide the full-time, specialised care she requires, Gemma was lovingly referred to MoonAcre.
We provide Gemma with daily, hands-on care supporting her physical condition, maintaining her urinary and bowel health, and promoting her nerve health and overall wellbeing.
Gus arrived at MoonAcre in 2021 after being involved in a vehicle accident that resulted in a broken vertebra. With time, treatment, and dedicated care, his mobility has improved significantly. He does, however, live with ongoing faecal incontinence as a lasting effect of his injury.









Our UK supporters can help support our animal sanctuary too! Simply by doing their everyday shopping online.
You can also join our “teaming” initiative – all you do is sign up to giving €1 per month to the sanctuary – the idea is that many €1 combine to provide us with regular support.
