***********************************************************************

2020 has been our busiest year so far by a large margin; the volume of calls we receive has more than doubled, and our shelter and foster network has been continually at full capacity. This has in turn led to a huge increase in veterinary bills, shelter costs, etc., and as an entirely voluntary organisation, your donation is both badly needed and really appreciated. It will be used to support our five core activities:

  • Reuniting lost pets with their owners
  • Providing emergency shelter and veterinary care for stray pets
  • Continuing to vaccinate, microchip and neuter/spay stray cats and dogs
  • Finding loving new homes for abandoned pets
  • Promoting ethical and responsible pet ownership 

Generally, public donations are channeled towards the day-to-day care of the pets in our shelter – veterinary bills, food, etc.

Become a Doggy Detective

| New Information | November 18, 2014

When you find a dog in an area – please do a bit of local enquiring. It may take some time out of your schedule, but we find many a time someone in the area will recognise the dog. That extra bit of detective work you carry out – could make the difference between the animal finding its home quickly rather than trying to get a place in a shelter.

Not everyone is on Facebook or has access to the internet. Knocking on doors, leaving a note in a letter box and sticking up posters regarding the found animal makes all the difference.

Some dogs are spooked by adverse weather conditions – which we have a lot of here – and there is also fireworks, gunshots and unexpected noises. Please don’t presume that every dog is abandoned.

Become a doggy detective and do a search before you leave the area.

Livestock Warning

| New Information | June 25, 2014

This time of the year we would like to remind people about the dangers of allowing their pets wander loose in fields. There are a lot of livestock out grazing and we must take care not to allow them roam around freely where cattle, sheep and horses are being kept. Livestock may become alarmed and injure themselves or your pets in panic.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A DOG IS DUMPED?

| New Information | February 16, 2013

Here at the munster lost and found we never consider a dog to be dumped regardless of its condition when it is found.

There are many reasons that a dog may be straying and in bad condition. It may be straying a while and is lost, it may have health conditions, We never assume that each animal that comes into our care is an unwanted or neglected pet, until we have exhausted every avenue to find its owner.

We have all heard the wonderful stories of dogs being re-united after being missing for several weeks, months even years. And we have spoken with the very worried owners of animals who are missing with health issues. They are heartbroken with worry that their sick animals may never come home.

So after years of experiencing all these sad stories and helping people in their quests to find their beloved pets we never assume.

So what do you do if you find an animal?

A lot of animals that are found in Ireland can be reunited very quickly by making local enquiries, and placing posters in the area it is found. You don’t have to have a photograph of the animal, a description of the dog, leaving out a few details so you can be sure the correct owner is reunited and most importantly the date and your contact details.

If you can take a photograph then only photograph the face and again you can ask the person who contacts you to give you the details to confirm ownership.

Bring it along to the closest vet, as they may recognise it and will check it for a micro chip.

Report the found animal to the Garda station and more importantly the Local authorities. The first port of call for many people who have lost their dog Is the Local authorities and the Garda.

Place the animals details on social media sites such as Facebook – but please bear in mind not everyone uses the internet as often as we do. There are a lot of people who do not have internet access. For every one person who browses Face book there are at least two who do not.

We here at the Munster Lost and found are only a phone call away, for advise, information or assistance please contact us on: 021 4287216 086 2112850, face book, our webpage www.munsterlostandfound.com email info@munsterlostandfound.com or our face book page.

If you have concerns or queries regarding an animal you have found please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will advise you of the best way to proceed. If we can accomadate your found dog we will be happy to do so

A little about the Helpline…

| New Information | February 7, 2012

 At the Munster Lost and Found Pet Helpline, we help lost pets find their way home.

At The Munster Lost and Found Pet Helpline, (RCN: 20074630) we help lost pets find their way home. Since our foundation, we’ve reunited hundreds of pets with their families, and found loving new homes for many more. We seek to reunite lost pets with their owners through our helpline and database of lost and found pets in Munster. Our helpline provides practical advice on responsible pet ownership to all pet owners, as well as those who have lost or found a pet and are unsure of what to do.

Munster Lost and Found Pet Helpline

In emergency situations, we provide shelter for stray pets, either at our small rescue centre in Cork, or with one of our foster families. If an owner is not found, we find loving new permanent homes that are thoroughly checked before the pet is adopted. We have a small group of dedicated volunteers who work with our rescues, helping to prepare them for new homes by spending time with them and socialising them. Every pet that we rehome is neutered or spayed, as well as being fully vaccinated and microchipped. We will never allow a healthy animal in our care to be destroyed.

 

We are an entirely voluntary organisation – every cent we raise goes directly to caring for the dogs and cats we’ve taken in, as well as keeping the helpline up and running. This means we are hugely dependant on the generosity of our supporters  in order to continue our work. We are incredibly grateful for any donations we receive; every euro donated is a huge help! Click here to find out how you can help us.

We are very grateful to receive a sum of ex-gratia funding which we apply for from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine yearly. This grant helps us to pay for veterinary care, to make repairs to our shelter accommodation and to maintain our helpline telephone lines. The latest grant received was €9000 in December 2020.
