You've all heard the news by now,🙄 whether it is good or bad is little independent rescues will continue to work round the clock to help animals in need,⏰ But I wonder how National the new NSPCA will be???🤔 Surely they might start working 24/7/365 like everyone needs, and surely it means there will be an inspector in every county not just 9 ispca inspectors covering 16 counties???🤨
We'll wait and see but whatever you do Don't hold your breath. 🥺💬
TWO LEADING ANIMAL WELFARE CHARITIES MERGE TO CREATE NEW NATIONAL ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANISATION.
The Boards of the Dublin Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA) and Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) today confirm both organisations have signed an agreement to merge to form a single, integrated national animal welfare organisation. The merger when fully completed will create the new National SPCA (final brand to be agreed and approved by the Charity Regulator) and will be operational by 1st October 2025.
The establishment of one leading animal welfare charity in Ireland will deliver a unified national animal welfare strategy across the country to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome sick, injured or cruelly treated animals. Ireland is currently in the midst of a national crisis in animal welfare with record numbers of animals requiring rescue, treatment and rehoming. This has put huge strain on all organisations in the sector. This merger brings together Ireland’s two largest animal welfare charities who have always had the same mission: the protection of animals and prevention of cruelty. The new entity will benefit from combined resources, structure, expertise, facilities and geographical reach.
