Welcome to the website of Islay Dog Rescue (Ayrshire), a non-profit making organisation based near Cumnock in East Ayrshire, Scotland.

Islay Dog Rescue is operated by Lorraine Jardine and Richard Thomson.  Both Lorraine and Richard are passionate about animals and dedicated to helping dogs who have found themselves in dog pounds.  Specifically, they rescue dogs who are on "death row".

SUCCESS STORY!

Our first, official rehome was on 19th September 2011 (Oscar). 
Up to 31st December 2011 we had rehomed 33 dogs.  That's 33 dogs who are alive today who may otherwise not have been.  We are surprised, delighted and over-whelmed. 
Update at the end of March 2012 we had rehomed an astonishing 62 dogs.
Thank you to everybody who chose to rehome a dog from us, without you these dogs would all no longer be alive - lang may yer lum reek!

We would also like to recruit another one or two foster carers locally to the Cumnock/New Cumnock/Auchinleck area.  This is a voluntary position but all feed and veterinary bills are covered.  Foster carers are vital to the successful rehoming of our rescued dogs.  They provide vital insight into the dog's behaviour and training needs.  It is the foster carer's job to house train the dog (if that's not already done), teach the dog to walk properly on the lead, socialise the dog with other dogs and people, groom the dog and generally provide day-to-day care.  If you think you may be interested please call 01290 424192 or 0787 656 1545 and we can discuss it more with you.
