How you can help

The DSPCA was set up in 1840 , their aim is to help stop all animal cruelty including dog cruelty alongside the guards. When these organisations are told where the abuse is happening the guards go to make sure it safe to go rescue the animals and the DSPCA go and rescue the animals, the guards will take anyone on-site that was involved in for questioning and then sometimes give them time in jail for their crime they committed (puppy farms and dog fighting are both illegal in Ireland ). The DSPCA do their best to what is best in the interest of the animal’s health. Sometimes the animals are lucky to be not so badly hurt and they get help before it’s too late to save them and sometimes what’s best for them is to put them out of their pain and put them down because the damage is too much. The lucky animals that survive their cruel start to life, after treatment get to new start to life this time hopefully in a caring and loving environment of people.

So how can we help? Here are two ways we can help is this:

1. we can ring the guards or the DSPCA if we hear of any dog cruelty stories and get them stopped immediately
2. you can donate even the smallest amount of money-€2 a month
