A stunning Irish Wolfhound called Saoirse who shot to fame while searching for her forever family in June, has settled into her new home and is loving life.
The public fell for the big hound in her time of need and her rescuers at Molly Moos Westie Rescue were inundated with offered of help and new homes.

A foster appeal was made by the charity on June 8 and four days later Saoirse was relaxing in her new foster home complete with wooden floors and Aga. By July 1, she was home for good.
The amazing breed, which can weigh up to 13 stone, is registered as a vulnerable breed, with puppy registrations dropping over recent years.
