We pride ourselves in having wonderful and professional staff whose primary role is to care for these dogs when they are in our care. All our staff are trained in Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare. Our primary role is to try to reunite stray dogs with their owners, and failing that we find a loving new home for each dog.
We expect to take in approx. 2400 stray and surrendered dogs per year, and successfully re-home these dogs to members of the public and through our network of welfare/rescues/charities. Dogs that come into our care have ended up being re-homed mostly in Ireland, but some of our dogs have ended up in their forever homes in the North, in the UK, Sweden, Germany, Italy, France and Holland for example, and three lucky dogs even ended up in a lovely home in Miami.
Every dog that we re-home is vaccinated and microchipped, and the dog registered to the new owner.
