Charity Support

Say hello to Percy, one of the adorable Irish Guide Dogs puppies proudly sponsored by Rosie & Jim!

Thanks to his puppy raiser Eva in Waterford, we've got a delightful update and some heartwarming photos of Percy enjoying his beach adventures in Tramore.

At 13 weeks old, Percy is already showing us his unique personality. He's a big, sensitive fellow who dives headfirst into new experiences - from bounding around to seeking cuddles for reassurance.
Eva shares,

"Percy is fantastic around people, other dogs, and even our cat. He's a quick learner and hasn't shown any major fears, even during his first trip around Tesco!"

Brave and curious, Percy is acing his early socialisation tests.
But like all youngsters, he has his moments - like deciding to sit mid-walk if the route isn't to his liking!  His toilet training is going splendidly, and he's a fan of sleeping in a bed over a crate.
One of Percy's favourite things? Relaxing by the fireplace in the evenings, watching 'In the Dog House' on TV. He's a true cuddler and loves to be right on your lap.
He's already comfortable in his training jacket and loves car rides and outings. Eva says, "I could go on forever!" - and we absolutely love hearing every bit about Percy's journey!

Join us in cheering on Percy as he continues his journey to becoming a guide dog. We're so proud to be part of his story and grateful to Eva for her amazing work.

Percy, our adorable sponsored Irish Guide Dog for the Blind!
Percy loves the beach and adores his best friend, the cat. Here they are, snuggled up together for a nap.

We are so proud of his progress.

About Ronald McDonald House Charities

The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation care and support for 20 families every night while their seriously ill children are inpatient or receiving care in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.

The House enables families to stay together so that they can be with their sick child at what is a very traumatic time for them all.

The first,16 bedroom, Ronald McDonald House is situated on the grounds of Our Lady’s Hospital and our smaller 4 bedroom House is directly across the road at St Mary’s Drive.

Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. Often, it can be a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mum and dad close by for love and support.  Ronald McDonald House program provides a Home for families so they can stay close by their hospitalised child at very little cost.  The House works on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.
