STOP THINK Rescue First

Would you look at this beautiful boy?? He is currently in Carrick Dog Shelter waiting for his new family to adopt him! Look how well behaved he is on the lead! Well behaved, and waiting for loving arms to wrap around him. How can anyone resist this gorgeous collie boy?

This gorgeous boy needs help! He is 12 months old and has been tied up on a chain for 4 weeks but I suspect its been much longer than that. can anyone find it their hearts to help this Collie boy? He needs time and patience to train him, he is still young enough, Collies are very smart dogs and super intelligent too x

FOLLOWING FURTHER EVALUATION BY STAFF TODAY THIS COLLIE IS NOW LOOKING FOR RESCUE SPACE ONLY..The LAST dog in 2024 to be admitted to the pound....dog reference 456 . Apologies for the photo , he is not a happy bunny - not allowing any interaction at all... At only 1 year old he has been chained up for at least the past 4 weeks apparently for showing signs of aggression ( growling / snapping / lunging ) . It would appear absolutely no time or effort has been given to this boy and certainly no social interaction . His chances of being placed in a home or rescue center are slim TBH .
This dog is in monaghan county council dog pound .
Dog Ref : 456

A TERRIBLE EVENING HERE AT DDS
We’ve had the most awful experience here at the sanctuary this evening. Around 8-30pm a white car dropped this individual off at the end of our road. He walked right up to our car park which is quite a distance and attempted to steal the collection tins at the car park. When confronted as to what he was doing he became very threatening and tried to stop me filming. As I followed him down the road the car sped off leaving him behind and he threatened me again by coming right up to me. I was very shaken at this stage and had no choice but to watch him walk away. The Gardai have been to the sanctuary and have taken a statement. We are just devastated by this experience and cannot believe that something like this can happen at 8-30 on a quiet summer evening. What sort of person tries to steal from an animal sanctuary? Just devastating😢

🚨🐾 Stand Up for Those Who Can't Speak 🐾🚨

In Ireland, if you see animal abuse, don't stay silent. Your voice can save lives! Animals rely on us for protection, and we have a duty to ensure they are treated with kindness and respect. If you witness neglect, cruelty, or any form of abuse:

📞 Report it to the ISPCA or your local Garda station
📸 Document what you see, if safe to do so
👥 Encourage others to speak up

Together, we can make a difference. Be their hero.

Ready to add a little fur & fun to your life? Volunteering feels great, and KLAWS needs YOU!

Here’s How You Can Help:
🌟 FOSTER: This is what we need the most! There are lots of cats and dogs out there who need a safe home to snuggle into while they wait for their people to find them. Can you let them into your family for a few nights?
🌟 Transportation: Be a chauffeur! Get these dogs the care they deserve, whether it’s vet appointments or a trip across the county to their new home. You’re basically their limo, but way cooler.
🌟 Event Assistance: Help us throw the best parties ever! The ones where dogs and cats get adopted. You’d help connect pets with new owners, spread joy, and give belly rubs.
🌟 Fundraising: We’re all volunteers but the pets in our care need funds to cover other costs like vet visits and medications. With more help we could put on many more events!
🌟 Photography: Dogs with glamor shots get adopted much faster, and who doesn’t love a good cat video? We need good quality, hi-res photos and videos to help our pets find homes.
🌟 And More: We can always use more help with admin duties, or people out in the field doing home checks or trap/neuter/return runs for feral cats. The bottom line is: if you want to help, we’d love it. Please get in touch!
