Dog Advocacy Ireland was set up to give a voice to neglected & abused dogs all over Ireland. We have 3 goals:

  • Address dog welfare negligence in Ireland through effective and meaningful engagement with the political system
  • Create an All Party Parliamentary Dog Advocacy Group who will hold monthly meetings to inform & guide legislative decisions
  • Create a Garda Animal Welfare unit in every county in Ireland, to enforce existing legislation and bring those that neglect animals to justice.

We hope that through better, well enforced legislation, the tide will turn for dogs in this country, with more responsible pet ownership and a system that has a zero tolerance approach to dog abuse.
