Kerry Blue Terriers Available for Adoption
If you are interested in adopting one of the Kerries listed below, or perhaps another Kerry in the future, please:
- Review the Adoption Process.
- Fill out the Adoption Questionnaire
- Send the questionnaire to the listing Rescue Coordinator, or to any or all of our Rescue Coordinator.
- Follow up with an email to the Rescue Coordinator(s)
to reaffirm your interest and check the status of your application.
Each year, the Kerry Foundation handles dozens of Kerries that need new homes, and not all of them are listed here. Sometimes we assist breeders and owners with rehoming their Kerries, and those dogs may or may not appear on these pages. Please fill out the Adoption Questionnaire so that we are aware of your interest in owning our breed.
Because expenses on rescuing even a young, healthy dog can exceed $500 in veterinary tests and treatment, donations to our Rescue program are always needed and gratefully received.

I want to become a Kerry Angel also.
Bridgett
Fostered on East Coast
Coordinator: Linda Lee
Bridgett
is a very special 1 1/2 year old Kerry Blue in need of re-homing.
Rescued from a puppy mill at 5 months of age, she has thrived and grown
up to be a beautiful Kerry lass in the home where she was placed. She
LOVES people!!!
Unfortunately, Bridgett has shown herself to be an alpha female and is no longer getting along with the resident male Kerry. She is playful and friendly with dogs off her property, but is territiorial about "her home" and will always need to be the only dog in her new home. She is very affectionate -- did I say she LOVES people?
Bridgett has been carefully trained and will continue to flourish in a household which offers lots of love and reinforcement of the obedience training that she has experienced to date. She adores her "humans" and thrives on positive and loving interaction.
Bridgett
is small kerry weighing about 28 pounds with a jet black, silky coat.
Since she loves to run and play, she will do best in a home with a securely
fenced yard. She has lots of wonderful Kerry energy and will be the
perfect companion for folks who enjoy long walks and an active lifestyle.
Since Bridgett has some separation issues, we are looking
for an owner who can be with her as much as possible. This is a great
little dog looking for a very wonderful forever home. Although Bridgett
is located in the northeast, we will consider shipping her to the family
of her dreams..
If you're an experenced terrier owner who knows how to be the boss, please submit an adoption questionnaire to be considered for Bridgett.

Lingus
Rescue Coordinator: Tracey
Fulmer
Fostered in Buffalo, NY
Can
you imagine living in a succession of puppy mills for 6 years with little
positive human interaction? That was Lingus’ life until he was rescued
on June 29. He had been bred to breed, nothing more. Underneath the overgrown
matted fur, there was a handsome gentleman sporting dark charcoal fur
highlighted with silver.
Lingus has been fully vetted, neutered, and his teeth cleaned. He is heartworm and other parasite negative and his full blood panel results showed a very healthy male Kerry.
This sweet boy has made amazing progress since his rescue.
Most importantly, Lingus is fully housebroken. He is crate trained, willingly
sleeping there and returning to it when unsure of visitors. 
Without
a doubt, he is a quick learner. In the two months since his rescue, he
has learned his name, the sit and off commands and is learning to come
when called as well as walking on a leash. He has not chewed anything
except the toys he has been given. One of his most enduring qualities
is that he is quiet, never barking at the three neighbor labs or talkative
Papillion next door. When he lies on the floor, he usually crosses his
front legs.
Lingus loves to be with his foster family, inside or outside.
He prefers not to be outside for very long without a family member, perhaps
because he lived his past life either in an outside pen or cage 24/7.
He
will take every opportunity to snuggle next to you and would thrive in
a home with companionship during the day. He will not disappoint you in
his love and devotion.
A forever home with a female dog would be good for Lingus,
but he will also do well as an only dog providing he has the companionship
from his humans for which he longs and so deserves. A fenced in yard is
required so Lingus can fully enjoy his freedom.
If you are interested in adopting Lingus, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire and forward to Tracey Fulmer.

| If you don't find a Kerry for you on this page, don't despair. Consider putting yourself on the waiting list for a rescue Kerry. Fill out the Fill out the Adoption Questionnaire and mail it to several Rescue Coordinators. You may also want to check the available puppies and the Kerry breeders in your area. A good article on adopting an older Kerry Blue is required reading. Whatever you do, don't get a puppy from a pet store. |  |
