In February 2017 Ebony (now Nisha), was described by a volunteer: ‘I have been given the name Ebony, as my colour is black. I believe my mum and dad were a Spaniel and a Setter. This must be where I get my beautiful, elegant looks, my medium build and wonderful stance from. I think I am about two and a half years old, though, I don’t ever remember having a birthday party! It is not until I came to Mayo SPCA, that I realised dogs shouldn’t be treated the way I have been treated. I really don’t understand how some people can be so cruel!! I am very thin, as I wasn’t given any food and I have lots of wounds down one side of me, where they used to beat me. I find it too sad to talk about, but they will tell you all about my life at Mayo SPCA..
…
.”My name is Naoise (Nisha) and a few months ago I was very fortunate to have been rescued by the Mayo SPCA. I was so weak with hunger that I couldn’t move, and I was covered with cuts and bruises. The volunteers showed me a lot of love and kindness and I realised I could trust humans again. They nursed me back to health and found me a new home beside the sea with two humans who love me very much.
I’m so grateful to the Mayo SPCA for giving me a second chance to enjoy life, because I love my life so much now! Every morning when I wake up, I am really excited for the new day. My tail wags so fast that my whole body wiggles! It makes my humans smile and giggle and encourages them to bring me for a lovely morning walk. I love walking along the beach and paddling in the sea. I’m getting braver and I might even swim soon! But I’ll wait for summer so my humans will join me!
I have made a lot of new friends, dogs and humans. Humans always smile when they see me and want to give me lots of pets and kisses! I used to be afraid of other dogs, but I have met so many friendly ones that now all I want to do is play with them! My new best friend is a shy whippet who was also in need of a best friend before he met me.”—

Lots of you have asked about my dog Nisha, she is a rescue dog from the Mayo SPCA. She was found badly wounded with gashes a broken leg. She came into my family and enriched all our lives. Today I have released a song about her, available wherever you get your music
