Sponsor one of our special dogs
Sometimes dog lovers are not in a position to actually adopt a dog. You might not be able to offer the commitment that a dog needs, may live in accommodation which is not suitable for a canine companion or maybe you already have dogs and cannot add to your four-legged family! If you are such a person, you could still help one of our very needy dogs by sponsoring them. The following dogs have been rescued by WCAWG but for either medical or behavioural reasons cannot be rehomed.
It costs €50 a year to sponsor a dog, that's less than €1 per week. You will receive a colour brochure about your sponsor dog, and regular newsletters and of course you are very welcome to visit your sponsor dog.
Why not sponsor a dog as a birthday or Christmas present for a friend or relative and make a real difference to these dogs. We will send the recipient a colour brochure about their dog, a christmas or birthday card from their dog and a current newsletter. A dog can be sponsored as a present for any amount from €20.
Payments can be made by credit card using the Donate button below, cheque payable to WCAWG and posted to West Cork Animal Welfare Group, P.O. Box 4, Clonakilty or by standing order. Click here for Standing Order Mandate
If you choose to pay by standing order, the standing order mandate should be completed and taken to your bank.
Don't forget to email or write to us and let us know which dog you are sponsoring so we can send you a sponsor pack.

Scamp is a
10 year old King
Charles Spaniel who suffered severe abuse as a young puppy. He was seen
at 6 months old in a park being used as a football by a group of
teenagers.
As a result of being so badly abused from a very young age Scamp is very afraid of people and displays fear aggression. With the help of Liz Mahony an animal behaviourist he has become more trusting with people he knows but is still unpredictable with strangers and desipte his adorable looks will never be able to be rehomed. Scamp was brought to us in August 2003 and has lived since then in a home with experienced foster carers and their dogs.

Bailey
is a beautiful 3 year old golden collie x who came to our rescue centre
in January 2007.
She was taken from a home in West Cork where she was badly neglected and along with many other animals was cruelly treated. Bailey was kept tied up for 24 hours a day. After a long court case her owner was finally prosecuted and sent to prison for cruelty to the many animals in his care. Bailey
is an extremely nervous dog, who wont let anyone she doesn't know near
her. She has been badly scarred by her experience and although we are
hoping she will eventually find a permanent home, she needs a lot more
time to learn to trust people again. |

Otter
is one of 20 dogs who was rescued from a desperate situation of
ignorance and neglect in May 2008. He was suffering from malnutrition
and was completely traumatised.
The other 4 dogs who came to us with Otter were rehabilitated and able to be homed within a few months but Otter is still very traumatised and extremely nervous of people, even those he knows. We're hoping with time
that Otter will find a loving home but for the forseeable future he will
remain with us. |

Sadly Jack who has been one of our sponsor dogs for over 2 years died on 30th August 2008 at approx 19-20 yrs old. He was an extremely good age and enjoyed his last years to the full living a pampered life with his foster carers. We want to thank those who sponsored Jack and provided for him financially during the last 2 years. |
