"Currently, there are 360 animals of various species in ISPCA care, of which 191 are dogs. 340 of our animals are ready and urgently looking for loving new homes. The ISPCA needs public support to continue their vital work, to make room to help more animals that need to be admitted. The charity provides sheltering, veterinary care, and rehabilitation for rescued animals who have been neglected, abused or cruelly treated.
Speaking about the rehoming crisis, ISPCA Alan Coyle, Head of the National Animal Centre in Longford said: “It can be a real challenge to find new owners to adopt the large volume of animals currently in our care; our kennel space is just about at capacity, with a waiting list of more animals that need to be admitted from our Inspectors.
