Meet our newest rescue BADGER

BADGER found on Black Mountain

Badger was found in Black Mountain, Belfast all alone. He was rescued by a kind couple who took him to Earlswood vet. He was examined and it was obvious he had a damaged left eye caused by some unknown trauma, Earlswood contacted the BARN and we agreed to bring into the rescue. It would appear that Badger may have been used for baiting at some point which we believe caused his injuries. He has been treated for worms and fleas and will be going to visit our vet tomorrow (Wednesday) to establish what other care he will need. We think he may loose his eye as it seems to badly damaged at this time.


However Badger is a friendly lad who we think is around 3/4 years old, he has a super appetite as he is constantly sniffing and grabbing at the volunteers hands for food. The tail never stops wagging and he enjoys running about the yard. We will bring you more on Badger after he visits the vet tomorrow.

Badger went to visit our vets at Rathgeal today to have his eye examined. As expected the injury to the eye was beyond help and it was decided to remove it as he would be experiencing pain. He was admitted to the surgery there and then where Dr Jane would operate later today. Last update is, he has come through the surgery and is well. He is sleepy still so will collect him later this afternoon and bring a further update.

Help Us Heal Rhia’s Heart
20 September 2025
Hello, my name is Akeira. I’ve been waiting here in the kennels for a while now, and I can’t help but wonder when my special someone will come for me. Everyone tells me I’m beautiful and loving, but I think what I need most is for someone to see me- not just as a rescue dog, but as a best friend. I am approximately five years old now, and I’m full of energy, love, and curiosity. I love adventures! Exploring new places, sniffing the grass, feeling the breeze on my face—it makes my tail wag like nothing else. But do you know what I love just as much? Curling up beside you once the day is done. I may be playful and full of energy, but deep down, I’m also a softy who just wants cuddles and comfort. I’m eager to learn, too. When you show me new things, my heart lights up because I love making you proud. Training isn’t just about the treats (though I’ll never say no to those!). Oh, and toys? Let’s just say a soft toy doesn’t last very long with me… but I promise my goofy antics will keep you laughing. I’ve even had the chance to go home with some of the rescue volunteers, and I loved it! I had no accidents, enjoyed exploring a real home, and absolutely loved getting all the attention. Those visits showed me how wonderful it is to have a family and a comfy home of my own. Now, to be honest; I’m best suited to being the only dog in the household. I don’t get along with all dogs, and while I can have a successful introduction with some, I really do shine when I have all the love and attention to myself. I can also live happily with children aged 8 and above, and I can’t wait to become part of a family who will love me as much as I’ll love them. I may have spent time in kennels, but I promise I’m ready for a home filled with love. All I want is a family to love me, keep me safe, and let me be part of their world. In return, I’ll give you endless cuddles, waggy tails, and love forever. I’m already vet-checked, spayed, and microchipped—and when you adopt me, you’ll even get five weeks of free insurance. But the most important thing you’ll get is me: a faithful friend who will brighten your life every single day. Could you be the one I’ve been waiting for? With love, Akeira
