If a dog could have it, she had style
And the power to make a person smile
So stately and so dignified
If a dog could have it, she had pride...

URGENT APPEAL FOR DONATIONS from Limerick Animal Welfare We find ourselves in a very worrying situation. Our expenditure for September was €28,000. We desperately need donations. The majority o f our expenditure has arisen from vets and kennel bills.This is due to the large no of animals coming into our care, many of them sick and injured and needing emergency veterinary attention. Please donate whatever you can, even a small donation will make a big difference to our suffering animals. Please consider setting up a monthly standing order to help us with our bills. As little as €5 a month would mean so much to us.

Check out their super christmas cards and calendars! If you can't afford to donate, why not buy these for people and help L.A.W. too!
Animal Matter Too
Animals share the planet with us
and they have a right to live,
and if they are treated properly
they have a lot of love to give,
But go to any animal shelter
and there are more than just a few,
looking for some love and care,
Remember! ANIMALS MATTER TOO!!

Pound Dogs
The first face that looks back at me
is glum and gloomy as can be,
Head on blanket, eyes fixed on mine,
A little whimper, a little whine,
I walk on by, though it makes me cringe,
And as I go, I hear her whinge,
I'm so distraught, I cannot speak
And tears start rolling down my cheek
I wish everyone could go and see
What happens to dogs left to roam free,
If no kind soul takes them on,
Their lives can be as good as gone,
In the wrong hands, or even knocked down
Or maybe ending up in the pound
It's so sad to go and see
Something that need never be
If the dog is surrendered and is not a stray,
That poor little thing gets only one day
If brought in by a person, doing their best
It will get a week, maybe more, maybe less
The dog has that time in which to be found
Otherwise its days will end in the pound
It would make the hardest person cry
To see the dogs that are damned to die
These animals have a right to live
they have lots and lots of love to give
But if owners would only neuter and spay
the dogs would not end up this way
This Needless suffering has to end
We must learn to value Man's best Friend
the last things that I want to say
are PLEASE DONATE TO RESCUES TODAY
And please promote NEUTER AND SPAY!

Many dogs that end up in the pound are taken out by animal rescues and animal shelters with a no-kill policy. They are then kept in the shelters or fostered out until forever homes can be found for them. Please donate money, blankets, food, your time, whatever you can...
Unfortunately, not all dogs can be rescued as shelters are chock blocked most of the time. Those that are not reclaimed or rehomed directly from the pound are then sadly put to sleep. I will post some pictures up that should make you think. Some of these dogs are already dead....
