As a non- profit organisation, we rely heavily on the generosity of our supporters, fundraisers and a small annual government grant to keep us going in our work to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome unwanted and abused dogs in Ireland. It has truly been a struggle during the past year with the effects of Covid 19 and lockdown. Virtual fundraisers have been amazing and we are so grateful to everyone who took part in the Redmills St. Pawtrick’s Day Virtual Dog show. It was a huge success.
