Dogsey

A DOG RESCUE charity based in Galway has been forced to close for a month due to a massive influx in the number of stray and unwanted dogs.

The rescue closed briefly as demand increased around this time last year, but this closure is expected to last until ‘at least’ next month.

In October, over 60 members of the public contacted the charity looking for information on how they could re-home their dogs, on top of the 71 dogs rescued from local pounds, up from 45 the month previous.
