At Dogs in Distress, we rescue dogs who have been abandoned, mistreated, or left without hope — and we give them the care, love, and safety they deserve. Every dog in our care is neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and microchipped, and many need urgent medical treatment, rehabilitation, or special support before they can find their forever home.
We are a completely volunteer-run charity with no or physical shelter.
Our amazing network of foster families opens their homes and hearts to dogs in need, and your donations make it possible to provide them with everything they require — from food and toys to vital veterinary care.
Whether it’s €5 or €50, your kindness directly changes lives.
Every euro helps us rescue, heal, and rehome more dogs across Ireland.
