New .co.uk website

Visit irishretrieverrescue.co.uk Irish Retriever Rescue have launched their new .co.uk website. There you will find all the information you need to adopt or foster one of our rescue dogs, or to get involved and help out. New dogs seeking their forever home will be posted the .co.uk site as well as on the IRR Facebook page. This website will continue to run as an archive of the history of IRR, and our Roll of Honour for dogs who have passed to Rainbow Bridge.

WELCOME

This website is in memory of and dedicated to Belinda, who was a true friend to all animals in need, especially to the dogs that she helped rescue with IRR.

We will continue to provide updates on the dogs currently featured here, as well as a Roll of Honour recording bereavements of our IRR dogs and their closest friends.

All dogs currently seeking their forever home can be found on the main website at www.irishretrieverrescue.co.uk

Between 2005 and April 2021, IRR re-homed over 1,305 dogs
