Help us help them

Dogs in Distress rescues unwanted dogs. We are mainly active in Dublin and surrounding counties. However we have rescued and homed dogs all over Ireland. We place our dogs in foster care, in a secure home environment, while we find a suitable permanent home. Dogs in Distress is run by volunteers; we are passionate about improving the lives of the dogs in our care. Please help us to help them.

Adopt a Dog

Thanks to our home foster-based approach, we really get to know our dogs. If you would like to adopt a dog we can tell you about the type of home that each of our dogs will be suited to.
