Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

The West Cork Animal Welfare Group was founded in May 1999 in response to a desperate need to help unwanted, abandoned, neglected and abused animals in West Cork.
We formed a Limited Company and obtained Charitable status in 2001 and the group is still run today by a few dedicated individuals who were involved in setting up the charity and who work voluntarily so any funds raised and donated go directly to the upkeep of the animals in our care. Our present facilities near Rosscarbery in County Cork were purpose built in 1995 and can accommodate up to 50 dogs and puppies. We re-home an average of 360 dogs and puppies a year from our kennels and many more that we don’t have space for in the kennels via our website. Although we don’t have purpose built facilities for cats we care for a few at our rescue centre but most of our cats and kittens are looked after by fosterers who live locally.
Our aim is
“To promote and encourage the welfare and protection of animals.”
We hope to do this by:
* providing shelter and treatment for neglected, abandoned, unwanted and abused animals until they are ready to be re-homed
* promoting the benefits of neutering and spaying
attending schools, colleges and other organisations to educate and advise
* promoting the benefits of vaccination and regular worming to reduce the spread of disease
* liaising with veterinary surgeons, councils, Gardai, other welfare organisations and official bodies
* investigating reports of cruelty with the co-operation of the Gardai
We have a non-destruction policy and no animal is put down unless incurably sick. Every animal in our care is provided with the necessary treatment and is sheltered until fit enough to be re-homed. We have a few long term dogs who are difficult to re-home and to help with the ongoing expenses of these dogs we have a sponsorship scheme.
