Do you love animals and do you want to get involved for a good cause? In Ireland, you can volunteer to help neglected dogs, cats, horses, ponies, and donkeys at animal shelters. 

Ireland is a pet-loving nation, with more than two-thirds of Irish households either keeping a dog or a cat. Unfortunately, the country is facing a major street dog problem. Even though the Irish government is committed to responsible pet care and the number of stray dogs has been reduced by 50% since 2004, thousands of homeless dogs still end up in animal shelters every year. Therefore, we work with several dog shelters that take care of abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs, nursing and trying to find a new home for them. We also partner with some shelters that take in other animals like cats. 
 
Did you know that the Green Island is world-famous for horse-keeping? Horse riding is a popular hobby in Ireland. There are also animal shelters that specialize in horses, donkeys, and ponies. This is where animals, confiscated by the authorities as a result of neglect or abuse, are kept. 

You can let us know what type of shelter you would like to work in!
