We are reminding the public A dog is for Life, not just for Lockdown as the 2019 Dog Pound Statistics are released

There has been an alarming 358% increase in the number of dog owners looking for firework advice for their dog this year compared to 2019. So we are reminding dog owners to keep an eye on their dogs this spooky season as many human Halloween treats are harmful to our furry friends.

Dogs Trust is delighted to announce that they can now rehome dogs throughout Connacht and Munster, as well as from their Rehoming Centre in Dublin.

We have received 187 requests, a 68% increase over the last two months, compared to the previous two, from people asking to relinquish their dogs and have reiterated our fear of an impending influx of unwanted dogs over the coming months.
