We are always looking for new volunteers

Transport:

All the dogs need to be transported from the pound to various places like our vets in Naas, foster homes or to other rescues. Typical journeys are Dunboyne to Naas to Carlow to Inistioge/Wexford or Dunboyne to Mullingar to Letirim. We also always need transporters in Dublin and its surrounding areas.

Foster:

Dogs need to be fostered if they are waiting on their pet passport or if they need a little extra tlc before going to rescue or a new home. There are 3 typical lengths of foster which are about 2 weeks, 4 weeks or until a home is found. All new foster homes must be homechecked beforehand so if you are interested in fostering for us then please check out our Foster for us page

Take pictures:

Our volunteers go into the pound twice a week, typically on a Wednesday and on a Saturday morning to take pictures of the stray and surrendered dogs. These are posted on the PetsIreland website so other rescues can offer assistance and also on Facebook so our fans can help reunite lost dogs or can rehome direct from the pound.
