About USPCA

Founded in 1836 as the Belfast SPCA, the Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (USPCA) is Northern Ireland’s oldest animal welfare charity, established to prevent cruelty and relieve animal suffering. Its early work included installing water troughs for working horses and successfully lobbying for animal protection laws to be extended to Ireland. As its operations expanded across the region, the organisation became known as the Ulster SPCA, reflecting its wider impact. Today, the USPCA continues to campaign, rescue and advocate for stronger protections to make Northern Ireland a safer place for animals.

Meet Kirk, Kirk was surrendered back into our care after his owner sadly passed away, he is now ready to find himself his new home. Kirk is a very handsome, sweet-natured collie who is ready to find himself his new home. Kirk is a friendly boy who loves spending time with people. He has a curious and adventurous nature and loves when he can spend time out on his daily walks using his nose to explore the world around him. Kirk is a sensitive boy, he is hoping for a quiet, peaceful home away from busy town life. Traffic close by can worry him, and he may try to follow moving vehicles, he will need on-going training within this area and calm walking routes to help him feel safe. Kirk is a true collie, he is a smart, energetic boy who loves to learn and will need a home that will be able to provide him with both physical and mental enrichment to help him thrive. He would love a home with a large secure outdoor space where he can spend his days running and playing with his toys or hanging out with his favourite people in the sun. Kirk isn't suited to living with other dogs or cats, he would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He would be best suited in a home with children who are used to dogs.

Northern Ireland
SexFemale
Age1 year
BreedCollie

Meet Sable! Sable was previously in our care and was adopted into a loving home. Unfortunately, through no fault of her own, she has now found herself back with us as her owners were no longer able to care for her. Sable was born deaf; however, this does not hold her back! This gorgeous girl is an energetic collie who truly adores the company of people and will be a great addition to the right family! She has a very loving personality and adores affection, enjoying getting lots of pets and attention. Sable also has a playful side and loves playing with her favourite toys. Sable would be best suited in a peaceful home away from busy town life. Traffic close by can worry her, and she can try to follow moving vehicles, she will need on-going training within this area and calm walking routes to help her feel safe. Due to Sable's breed and age, she will need plenty of regular exercise and stimulation so would love to find herself an energic, active family. Sable will require an owner who is around regularly initially to help her settle into the home, her new family will also need to be ready to dedicate training time with her as due to her being deaf, she will need extra specialised training to help her learn hand signals and facial expressions which will require patience and time. Sable will need a home with a good sized, secure outdoor space, and we believe she would be best suited in a home with children who are sensible around dogs. She could potentially share her home with another similar sized dog who is able to hear, pending successful meetings at our centre.
