Why It Matters

Adopting a shelter pet doesn’t just change their life, it transforms yours too. Every dog, cat, and companion animal deserves a loving home, and we’re incredibly proud of the adopters who make that possible.

We’re also hugely grateful to Kilkea Castle for supporting this campaign and for welcoming pets as cherished guests at their stunning estate.

Thinking about adopting? We have lots of wonderful animals in ISPCA care looking for loving Forever Homes. Visit our rehoming page here to meet them. Your new furry friend could be waiting.
