Although we’ve had to close our Rehoming Centre to the public, our team are still here, working round-the-clock to help dogs in our care. Please will you consider sending a gift today to help keep the Rehoming Centre going for dogs like Esme, Bueller & Oscar?

In response to yesterday’s Gov announcement, our Dublin Rehoming Centre is closed to the general public until further notice. The welfare & safety of our staff, our dogs & vulnerable members of society are of paramount importance to us: https://t.co/HzNa0K16yE #IrelandLockdown

It’s getting very windy out 👀 Please don’t leave pets outside during #StormCiara If letting your dogs out to toilet, make sure your fences are intact and gates closed or put your dog on a lead 🐾

Oh, how sweet. 🐶 What's your doggy's favorite toy, friends?

This shocking CCTV footage of little Pudsey, a Jack Russell Terrier, being tied to a tree outside the gates of our Rehoming Centre in Finglas highlights the upsetting reality of dogs being abandoned. #ADogIsForLife 🐾

Sharing your life with a dog is a wonderful experience, bringing years of companionship and love. It is also a lifelong commitment – a decision that should never be made lightly or ‘just for Christmas’. #ADogIsForLife

Do not treat your social media platforms like your organisation bulletin board warns @ciarabyrne27897 of @DogsTrust who discuses moves to give followers more of what they want and less of what the organisation wants

Great point from Ciara from Dogs Trust that you should avoid constantly asking your audiences for something - donations, purchases, likes or whatever. Be generous and post good content without wanting something back. Build trust and show your value #SMBelfast

This presentation pulled at all my heart strings! #ADogIsForLife @ciarabyrne2 @DogsTrust_IE #SMBelfast @agendani

Poor Oreo is finding kennel life very stressful, so we are urgently seeking a Foster or Forever Home for her! As a 10-month-old Collie cross, Oreo absolutely adores being active & going on adventures, so living in a kennel environment is just not for her! Please retweet 🐾
