We are saddened to announce the passing of one of DAR’s volunteers Niall Carney. Niall was a very kind and gentle soul who cared deeply for many of the homeless cats that frequented Marian Park in Drogheda Co Louth.

Niall also served on the Board of Directors for Drogheda Animal Rescue as Treasurer. Always smiling and upbeat, he will be terribly missed by the rescue.

Our deepest condolences to his wife Nicola Pierce, to Niall’s family, and to Tony Carney Pierce, his beloved rescue cat who has his own page.

May You Rest in Peace Niall. 🙏😔

The death has occurred of Niall Carney of Drogheda, Louth Ireland, on 03/01/2025. You can view the full death notice and add your condolences here.

‼️THREE YEAR OLD BELLA NEEDS A NEW SITUATION ‼️
_______________

Bella was adopted about 3-Months ago from a local dog pound. Her new owner was told Bella was good with cats, children, and is neutered. It turns out, none of that is true and she needs a new situation as the pound said if she was returned, she might be put down. 😔

Bella is a well-mannered, housetrained, lead trained, very low barker Collie of 3-years of age. She is good with adult humans, and is an otherwise ideal dog bar young children and cats. She is described as being calm & quiet.

Bella is currently in heat and will need to be neutered in due course. If you can give Bella the type of home she needs and will thrive in, please contact us ASAP.

She is still with her current owner who has asked us to help find Bella a new home.

Drogheda Animal Rescue wish to thank the Minister of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine - Charlie McConalogue - for awarding DAR €51,563.00 on November 07th, 2024 via the Animal Welfare Grant for 2024/2025. This funding will go towards the ongoing costs incurred for the care of animals that DAR takes into the rescue.

One of Drogheda Animal Rescue's biggest challenges is dealing with the increasing number of stray and unwanted cats and kittens not only in the immediate area in Drogheda Co Louth, but also in surrounding areas extending to Carlingford and North County Dublin. We simply do not have enough volunteers and funding to deal with the ever increasing volume of unwanted cats.

These two feral kittens pictured here were taken into our care via our Trap, Neuter, and Return Programme.

THERE IS NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN ANIMAL RESCUE - MEET OUR LATEST RESCUE - A GUINEA PIG!
_______________

This little one was found in the back of a resident’s house down by the river at St Nicholas Avenue, Dundalk Co Louth.

He isn’t a well puppy and has a wound on his back. He was seen this morning at the vets in Drogheda and was given medication and pain relief. We hope he pulls through as he is scared and uncomfortable, and needs to be hand fed via a syringe with a recovery mixture of mush.

The staff Allpets Veterinary Hospital were trying to come up with a name for the little fella and finally all agreed, his name is KEVIN 😊❤️.

Welcome Kevin to the DAR Family of unwanted and discarded small animals.

‼️THE GREYHOUND WITH NO NAME - FOSTER HOME IS BEING SOUGHT‼️

This lovely, really lovely, male Greyhound is of 8-Months of age. He won’t be racing as he was born with a congenital defect in his hind leg.

He was found as a stray and brought into the vet. The registered owner / breeder was located and was returned to him. Our vet contacted us to see if we could help and take the Greyhound into our care. The breeder agreed to keep him safe and care for him until we could find a new situation for him. We would like to help this gentle dog, but need your help.

If you can offer a lifeline to this young, gentle Greyhound and foster him while we get his veterinary work done and look for a new home for him, please contact us. 🙏

P.S. It was not the breeder who strayed him but the person who the dog was given away to by another family member.

‼️ FOSTER HOME NEEDED FOR ‘GALWAY KITTEN’‼️
_______________

Yep! You heard it right. Galway kitten abandoned on the road needs a foster home.

HERE’s THE STORY - We received a message just before Christmas from a member of the public about a sick looking kitten that was found on the road. Assistance was being sought and when we found out it was found in Galway, we suggested local rescues but the finder tried them but no enchilada. So, a plan was put into place with the very resourceful folk at National Transport for Rescues - Ireland. We didn’t want to leave the kitten as-is.

JUMPING TO END OF THE STORY - The kitten was seen by a local vet and treated for worms and cat flu symptoms, and was put into local foster care in Longford. Tomorrow kitten will make the journey towards Drogheda via his foster mam Colleen. Kitten is doing MUCH better and is super friendly.

NOW HERE IS THE BIG ASK - Can you help us by fostering the little guy while we work on his veterinary care and prepare him for rehoming?

IF YOU CAN HELP, SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE 🙏

There is no rest for those in animal rescue. Every single day of the year including Christmas. 😔

THE PUP WHO ARRIVED IN A CARDBOARD BOX AND OTHER SHADY DEALINGS
_______________

This pup came from a farmer in County Cavan. The story goes that the father is a Collie and mother a Spaniel who was tragically killed on the road leaving the young family orphaned.

A young couple thought they were doing right by the pup and wanted to give it a good home. A transaction occurred between the farmer and the couple - the pup was duly delivered in a cardboard box. Money was handed over for a 6-week old pup without vaccinations nor being microchipped. Illegal? Yes. And the couple were not able to see the rest of the litter either.

We were asked to help rehome this pup who is now going on 9-weeks of age as the resident dog has taken great exception to the pup’s presence and has stopped eating.

Vaccinations have been started for the little man, and we would like to find him a permanent home or even a foster home.

We have no doubt this pup would have been well looked after by the couple and like many people, they thought they were doing the right thing by taking this pup.

If you are interested and HAVE THE TIME to raise a pup AND GIVE IT THE TRAINING this pup will definitely need, contact us.
