Dogs In Distress

Did you know? According to Department of the Environment figures, over 5,900 dogs were put to sleep in the public pound system in Ireland in 2010, these were mainly healthy dogs. This figure is only the reported number but does not include cruelty cases, euthanasia by vets or by other means. Stray dogs are kept in pounds for five days to allow owners to find them, but many are not traced by their owners within the short time given. Surrendered dogs may have only 24 hours to be re homed.
