KILDARE ANIMALS IN NEED: Third time lucky for unassuming Libby

On arrival to us last May, it was very obvious that gentle, unassuming Libby had been previously mistreated and had a scar on her back that suggested she had a very tough past.

A total sweetheart, she was silent for the most part during her five months at the shelter and was wary of all strangers.

She was very nervous around men and barked continuously at them. Undemanding of any attention, Libby seemed to give off the signal "maybe if I don’t make eye contact, then all these people might not notice me here and I’ll just sit quietly in this one spot.”

Rebuilding her confidence was a slow process. Quite a specific home was going to be needed for Libby and, when it hadn’t worked out for two other very well-intentioned families, it was third time lucky for her.

We were delighted to see her going off recently to her forever home in Arklow which she shares with Roxy. Libby is now visiting the beach in Arklow and is starting to try the water. Roxy is lways at her side.

Last week the ISPCA launched their ‘Cruelty No More’ campaign during World Animal Week. This is a call to action for all animal lovers in Ireland to help in creating a future where every animal is treated with the kindness and respect they deserve.

This lovely brown lop eared rabbit called Bubbles is looking for a new home. He is a little over eighteen months and is friendly and in great health. The owner is seeking a new home because the other male rabbit that he has been sharing with for a year and a half has for no reason started to ignore him and is fighting with him. Poor Bubbles is a bit like Colin Farrell in the Banshees. If you are interested, please phone 085 2399585.
