Animals in need
Although we do not have very many dogs at the sanctuary needing homes, we have a register of dogs desperately needing loving owners. We believe it is less traumatic to rehome a dog from home to home, sparing the stress of life in kennels.
We also have a register of horses and ponies that are needing homes elsewhere in Northern Ireland so if we have nothing that suits you at the sanctuary the perfect horse may still be out there. If you contact us we can take your details and match you up with a horse or pony in our register that is needing a home. Crosskennan will still offer any help needed if you choose a horse or pony this way.
