LIMERICK, IRELAND – The number of cruelty cases reported to Limerick Animal Welfare (LAW) continues to increase according to the sanctuary manager, Marie O’Connor. The sanctuary is facing an overflow of abandoned puppies and unwanted animals, reflecting the ongoing mistreatment of animals. One example is Whiskey, a German Shepherd, who was found severely malnourished and covered in sores. Despite the challenges, many animals, including Whiskey, have been rehabilitated and adopted to loving homes.
The most abused dogs in Ireland are Lurchers, with LAW treating numerous cases of broken legs and emaciated puppies. Additionally, the cat unit has been dealing with an influx of kittens found and brought to the sanctuary as late as December. LAW has various animals available for adoption, emphasizing the importance of adoption over shopping for pets. The sanctuary relies on donations to continue their work in helping stray and abandoned animals.
Throughout the year, the public has shown overwhelming generosity by sending food, toys, and treats for the animals at LAW. Every animal at the sanctuary received presents on Christmas Day, reflecting the compassion of the community towards these vulnerable animals. For those looking to support the charity, there are various options including electronic transfers, PayPal donations, and text-to-donate options.
