About Us
Who are We?
Drogheda Animal Rescue was established in 1997 in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland by a small group of volunteers concerned with animal welfare. Today, Drogheda Animal Rescue remains as a non-profit, voluntary organisation committed to assisting both dogs & cats in need and finding new homes for them. Currently, Drogheda Animal Rescue does not have a centre to house all of its animals, but relies heavily on foster care and costly private boarding kennels. We also assist individuals & families wishing to rehome their pets due to a variety of circumstances. All of our available animals are viewed strictly by appointment.
We also work closely with other animal rescue groups in Ireland, the U.K., and Sweden.
All of our volunteers have full-time jobs and/or families, and volunteer their time and effort in addition to a heavy work-load with work & family life.
Our funding is obtained through Department of Agriculture grants, fund raising events, and generous public donations. All funds go strictly to the care of our animals.
Our Charter / Mission
Drogheda Animal Rescue provides shelter and care to abandoned, strayed, neglected, abused, and injured dogs and cats. All of the animals in our care will be neutered before being rehomed as we support neutering as a means to control unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. All potential new homes & owners are vetted to ensure that the animals will be well looked after and cared for by their new owners. We constantly seek to instill responsible dog & cat ownership into the public and raise the awareness of animal welfare in Ireland.
It is our policy not to put a healthy animal to sleep. If an animal has a serious injury, terminal illness, or is deemed a danger or risk to the public, we will then have that animal put to sleep upon careful consideration and recommendation by our vets & animal behaviouralists.
