This year sees the launch of the Pedigree Adoption Drive for the seventh year running. Since launching in 2007 we have raised €500k for dog shelters and charities around the country while also feeding tens of thousands of rescue dogs.
Last year over 15,000 dogs were either seized or surrendered to dog authorities, with 5,867 rehomed directly, and 6,013 transferred to welfare groups.
The aim of the Pedigree Adoption Drive is to encourage dog lovers to consider giving these dogs healthy happy homes.
As well as providing thousands of meals to rescue dogs around the country, this year sees Pedigree support the campaign with a €40,000 grants system, delivering even bigger tangible benefits to shelters in need.
Three shelters will all receive a guaranteed sum of €10,000, with one of the three receiving a sum of €20,000
Wicklow SPCA, Cork Dog Action Welfare Group, and Lilly's Dog Rescue from Cavan will all receive a guaranteed sum of €10,000, with one of the three receiving a sum of €20,000.
Pedigree know the life changing positive effect dogs can have on their owners health and happiness and are using the Pedigree Adoption Drive to once again help shelters help dogs. Throughout this year's Pedigree Adoption Drive, Pedigree will feed more rescue dogs than ever before, aiming to feed up to 10,000 rescue dogs through shelters across the country. Throughout the month of May, SuperValu stores around the country will help Pedigree to achieve this goal by providing point of sale donation points for shoppers within their stores.
Getting behind the Pedigree Adoption Drive for 2014 are model and dog lover Daniella Moyles (Republic of Telly, iRadio) and all round funny man PJ Gallagher. When asked about his involvement in this year's campaign, PJ said 'This is most definitely something after my own heart. My love for dogs is no secret, and I think the encouragement of people to adopt dogs and facilitate the overcrowding issues in Ireland's shelters is a brilliant and worthy cause' with Daniella adding 'It really breaks my heart to imagine so many gorgeous dogs without homes. Until very recently I was unaware of how much of an issue this had become, and I am so glad to get behind the Pedigree Adoption Drive'.
Dog Action Welfare Group, known as Cork DAWG, is a charitable organisation founded in 2008. Created and run primarily by a network of volunteers concerned with the welfare of abandoned, abused and ill-treated dogs in Cork, we aim through our collective experience to improve the lives of Cork's dogs and to educate the public on dog welfare and dog ownership. We rescue abused, straying, surrendered and abandoned dogs to keep them out of city and county kill pounds to give them a second chance at finding loving homes. Each year we rescue approximately 1,000 dogs who live in our dedicated dog sanctuary or with our volunteer fosterers while waiting for their forever homes. Every year, the pressure on DAWG increases as we struggle to find space for the growing number of dogs who need rescue and to meet the fostering and veterinary costs of the wonderful dogs in our care. We cannot meet our mission without the badly needed support of dog lovers everywhere.
For one hundred years the Wicklow Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Wicklow SPCA) has worked tirelessly to rehabilitate and rehome animals. We provide love, care and much needed attention to hundreds of animals that are abused, mistreated and hurt throughout the year. This is why it's crucial that we ask for your support. We believe that in order to try and prevent animal cruelty, education is key. In the navigation above, we provide you with some handy training tips, veterinarian tips and more so why not take a look and we are sure you'll find something helpful! We would not be able to do our jobs without the help from the general public. Without your support and generous donations we would be unable to provide care for any of the animals. We have recently set up an online donations page and we ask for your continuous support. All proceeds go directly to helping the animals and we appreciate all donations. to visit our donations page. Donations can be made anonymously if you wish.
Lily's Rescue is a small, home based rescue facility started to help abandoned and pound dogs in our local area. Most dogs that are rescued have no I.D. We find it almost impossible to reunite these dogs with their owners, it is therefore important to make sure your dog has a tag or microchip! (and that any microchip is registered!) Many dogs that end up in Ireland's dog pounds, through no fault of their own, are put to sleep. We at Lily's Rescue aim to try to help as many of these dogs as we can, find loving forever homes.
