Help us to help the animals

Recently several dogs have come into our care with injuries that have needed costly vet treatment. Can you help one of these dogs by sending a donation?

Molly with a broken leg

Molly was struck by a car as she was wandering along a road in the dark. The break was in too difficult a place to have a cast so was bandaged and has to be held in a sling for at least six weeks. Initially she was on morphine and antibiotics and the vet was concerned she may have some internal damage as she was reluctant to eat. Two weeks later blood tests revealed she had no internal injuries but was barely eating and drinking enough to stay alive which was thought to be due to stress and shock. It's five weeks now since the accident and x-rays are showing her leg is proving very slow to heal although she is eating a little more. Through all this distress and pain, she hasn't shown a hint of aggression to anyone and we still hope we can turn life around for this lovely, gentle dog.

Watson with cherry eye

Watson is a pointer x who was found wandering the streets in Clonakilty. The glands on his inside eyelids are swollen causing this cherry eye effect. He had an operation in September to push the glands back inside his eyes which has been successful but has required 2 months of drops and antibiotics before the swelling around his eyes began to go down. He went to a new home in December.

 

Terrier left in pain with open wounds

We were notified of a situation where a small terrier who was kept chained up outside had been set upon by 3 small dogs and was unable to defend himself or run away. Even when approached by a concerned neighbour the owner refused to take the terrified wounded dog to the vet stating "He'll be ok, he's a tough little fella". This a photo of some of his gaping wounds 4 weeks later when the dog was handed in to us. Thankfully with veterinary treatment and care his physical wounds have healed and he is now in a new home where he is being loved and cared for.

Dogs Trust Neutering Scheme

The Dogs Trust is an international charity that has set up a neutering scheme in Ireland entitling people who are presently receiving social welfare payments or pensions to have their dog neutered for a maximum cost of 20 euro by any participating vet. This really is the only way that the huge pet over-population crisis will be tackled.

NEUTER AND SPAY.. IT'S THE ONLY WAY
