Advice regarding our dogs in hot weather -

Always have fresh water available for your pet; refresh and refill more often than on a normal day and leave extra if you are going out.
Make sure they have access to shade and keep them indoors in cooler rooms when the heat becomes too extreme.
Please be mindful that pets can quickly become dehydrated and overheat.

Never leave your animal alone in a parked vehicle.
Parking in the shade and leaving the windows cracked is not effective enough to cool the inside of a car.
On a hot day, the inside of the car can reach fatal temperatures in under ten minutes.
Dogs in particular are at risk because they cool themselves by panting. If the air becomes too hot, they are unable to regulate their body temperature.

It is so important to walk your dog early in the morning and late in the evening when the sun is less strong and temperatures are cooler, not during the day in the hot sun.
This will reduce their risk of heatstroke.

Heatstroke can cause serious damage and even be fatal to pets in as little as 15 minutes.
To avoid overheating, try not to overexert your pet.
Please keep in mind that older or overweight animals, animals with breathing difficulties and flat-faced pets such as pugs or Persian cats are more susceptible to overheating.
If you think your dog has heat stroke, contact your vet immediately.

If you see an animal locked in a car on a hot day, contact Gardaí or the ISPCA National Animal Cruelty Helpline at 0818 515 515.

DAR TO LAUNCH SUBSIDISED CAT NEUTERING SCHEME

Drogheda Animal Rescue will be launching a Subsidised Cat Neutering Scheme on Sunday, March 24th, 2024. The scheme will be open to anyone who has an un-neutered pet cat – either male or female. The aim of this scheme is to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in the feline population in the Northeast by offering low-cost neutering. Cat owners may avail of this scheme by purchasing vouchers directly from DAR for €30 each. DAR will cover the remaining cost of the neutering from funding received by the Department of Agriculture – Animal Welfare Grant.

The local vets taking part in this scheme are Allpets, Westgate, O’Dowd, and Avenue Veterinary Hospitals, and there will be no time-limit when the vouchers may be redeemed.

DID YOU KNOW? – a study has shown that theoretically, a single pair of cats and their offspring can potentially yield 420,000 cats over a seven-year period. This assumes 12-kittens per year from one pair of cats, with approximately five those twelve kittens being female. These in turn go on to breed, and so the cycle continues.

There is no doubt that are just too many cats in Ireland for the number of available homes, and this major issue is echoed around the world. Cats suffer needlessly producing litter after litter. You can help to break this vicious circle.

DAR will be on-hand to sell these vouchers at the following Drogheda locations. They can also be purchased online.

• Pet Bliss – Sunday March 24th – 12 to 6 PM
• Max Zoo – Saturday March 30th - 12 to 6 PM
• Mutz Nutz – Southgate Shopping Centre - Saturday April 13th, 12 to 6 PM

Terms & Conditions apply. To learn more about the subsidised cat neutering scheme, contact us by email ([email protected]) or send a message to our page.

***I am a 21st century dog.***

-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for dog fighting.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnership with my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.

If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!

If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.

I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.

So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.
