Paws for Dad Jokes

This Father's Day let's bring some love and laughter in aid of the ISPCA

**This Father’s Day, get ready to paws for laughter!**

The ISPCA invites you to join our tail-wagging campaign, “Paws for Dad Jokes” a celebration of all the cheesy, groan-worthy, heartwarming dad jokes we love.

How it works:

Each ticket costs just €8 and helps support animals in need across Ireland. But here’s where it gets fun:

1 ticket = 1 entry

1 ticket + 1 dad joke = 2 entries

2 tickets = 2 entries

2 tickets + 1 dad joke = 3 entries
…and so on!

The more tickets (and jokes) you submit, the more chances you have to win—and the more tails you help wag. Whether you’re a proud pet parent or just a fan of furry friends and funny puns, let’s make this Father’s Day one to remember!

2. Prizes

A Pet-Friendly Hotel Voucher for 2
The perfect gift from Dad to someone he loves, because nothing says “I appreciate you” like letting them plan the trip. Bonus: the dog’s invited, so no one ends up in the doghouse this Father’s Day.
A Rugby Ball Signed by Dan Carter (worth +€400)
It’s the perfect prize for a dad who loves a good tackle and a good laugh. Signed by a legend, so your joke doesn’t have to be one.
An Ultimate Dog or Cat Hamper from Chanelle Pharma (worth €100)
Think Father’s Day is just for humans? Think again. This hamper is packed with everything your pet needs to celebrate their favourite human, the one who fills their bowl, scratches their ears, and insists on full conversations like they totally understand.
2 x Tickets to the Guinness Storehouse (worth €96)
What do you call a dad enjoying a pint? A hop-timist. Explore the home of the black stuff and toast to your joke-telling genius.
2 x Tickets to the Roe & Co Distillery (worth €50)
Raise your spirits (literally) with this smooth experience. Great for dads who like their jokes dry, and their whiskey smoother.
€20 to Spend on a Personalised ISPCA Shop Item
You pick it, we personalise it. Because nothing says, “I care” like a mug that reads “Paw-don me, I’m hilarious.”
