held a charity event in aid of the Limerick Animal Welfare. We are still looking for support from everyone in the city, county and surrounding areas. These Animals are in great need of assistance from you. It is hard to believe that in this day and age that there exists certain individuals, who are willing to mistreat, abuse, torture and disregard these wonderful creatures, simply because they are a burden to them or in worst case scenarios just for the fun of it.

These Animals have had the most incredible things done to them, but yet they seem to forgive. The first bit of love and affection that comes their way and they jump at it with open arms (or Paws)?. They forgive and forget......!

It is about time that we left people know that this is an intolerable act of inhumanity and that we are no longer willing to sit back and let it continue. The Limerick Animal Welfare, run up costs on Vet bills every month of over ?7,000 and the money has to try and come from somewhere. They do not have any Government body supporting them so there is no funding from the government to support this cause. This is why they try so hard to raise it through walks, sponsorships and any form of charitable event that will aid them. It is said that they take in over 70 dogs and 40 cats a month, now you really need to ask yourself what in God?s name are we doing here in the city to have such an atrocity on hand. Something needs to be done.......!

Please continue Supporting the Cause, and give generously

A Sanctuary has been purchased by the Limerick Animal Welfare in Kilfinane 25 acres in total.

The Sanctuary

After many years of hard work we have finally realised our dream and succeeded in purchasing an old cottage on 25 acres in Kilfinane Co. Limerick. The cost of the property was ?212,000.00. We had fundraised ?111,000.00 and the balance of ?95,000.00 had to be borrowed.

The setting for the Sanctuary is really beautiful, with the Ballyhoura Mountains in the background. We now need to raise another ?500,000.00 to start building the much needed Sanctuary. The development of the land will have to be done in stages to coincide with our fundraising efforts. We estimate we will need approximately ?150,000.00 to commence the first phase of the building project. The current balance in our Sanctuary account is ?30,000. We are at present drawing up plans and applying for planning permission.

Kaspar

my heart breaks when I look at this photo.We picked up kaspar last December he was 14.someone tried to castrate him,he was in an awful state.He had surgery and went to a foster home where he was loved and cherished.He died in his sleep last week,at least he had a couple of months of happiness.

Harrison

Harrison was just 8 weeks old .He was found in an almost collapsed state buy a group of students underneath ha bush.He was suffering from severe hypothermia he'd obviously been out a while.I'm glad to say after a good few days of worrying Harrison pulled through and is now in a fabulous new home.

Loudis & Pups.

This is the little 6 month old collie cross and the five pups. If we didn't take these last Saturday both mum and pups would have been put to sleep.We had to drive to castleisland to a friend, who is minding them,as you can see they are gorgeous.
