Dogs Aid

Dogs Aid is an animal sanctuary in Ballymun, Dublin, Ireland, taking in homeless dogs and other animals in need from the north of the capital. Many of its residents are older animals or animals on long treatments, who find a stable home at the sanctuary.

Alongside the sanctuary, Dogs Aid runs a veterinary clinic open to the public one afternoon a week, offering affordable care to neighbourhood pets. That service also helps fund part of the work with the sheltered animals.

Dogs ready for adoption are introduced to interested families at the centre itself, with information on their health and character. The team looks for a permanent home for each one, where it can receive the care it needs.
