We are urging dog owners to ensure their dog is microchipped and the details on the chip are up to date. This comes after some joyful news this week after a distraught dog owner, Mr. Hourigan was reunited with his best friend ‘Marti’, after she had been missing for almost three years.

We are warning the public about the dangers of being ‘dogfished’ by unscrupulous ‘doggy dealers’ who are putting profits before the welfare of the dogs they are selling.

We are celebrating our third national ‘Dog Friendly Ireland Day’ today but it is very different to previous years. This year, we are calling on dog lovers to take part digitally and share photos of their dogs ‘working’ from home.

We are enthused to see future funding is conditional, based on a guarantee of welfare standards being upheld
