LAST WEEK, THIS dog was within days of being put to sleep after being found abandoned and brought to Monaghan County Council Pound.

But Clarke – formerly known as Monaghan Pound Dog Reference 12 – was helped out by the volunteers at Carrick Dog Shelter and now has a new home.

Staff took a photo of him on his way there. DOES HE LOOK A BIT HAPPY ABOUT IT?

Er, YES.

We’re also very happy for Clarke, and all the other rescued dogs.
