This is one of 4 dogs that were surrendered to us by a horrified member of the public who rescued them~ as you can see she was in terrible condition when we collected her~ she had to have about 5 washes before she was anyway clean~ she is only around 5yrs of age, but is very, very thin and as can be seen her teeth are terrible :( The poor girl has already been to the vets to have her teeth cleaned & many of them removed.... All 4 dogs are in terrible condition but she is the worst, although another requires specialist surgery on its legs~ They will not be ready for adoption for a while as they need to have a lot of veterinary care to help them improve before they can be vaccinated.
Ladies, will you join the NWSPCA Team?
NWSPCA are hoping you will run, jog or walk in the 2013 Western People West of Ireland Women's Mini Marathon on Sunday 5th May, and help us to raise much needed funds.

HAVING A CLEAR OUT?
PLEASE THINK OF OUR CHARITY SHOP IN PEARSE STREET, BALLINA.
THE MONEY RAISED IN THE SHOP GOES A LONG WAY TO SAVING ANIMALS' LIVES AND TREATING APPALLING INJURIES.
ALL MONEY RAISED IS SPENT ON ANIMALS AND THE SHOP IS RUN ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?"
but rather, "Can they suffer?"
~ Jeremy Bentham
Who we are:
The NWSPCA was officially established in 2002, although it has been less formally working in Ballina and its surrounding areas for over 10 years. We are a non-profit charity, manned entirely by volunteers and are constantly working to promote animal welfare in the North West. We have rescued, vaccinated and re-homed thousands of dogs and cats and our neutering programme has prevented thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens being born.
We not only rescue domestic animals, but also offer assistance to horses, goats, hedgehogs, birds, donkeys and have also helped a pig! Any creature known to be in distress is never overlooked by us.

As you may imagine, the running cost for such endeavours is rather steep. It costs 100K a year to keep things going. We constantly find ourselves under serious financial pressure; with our biggest expense being veterinary fees.
FOSTERERS NEEDED
We are always looking for potential fosterers - maybe for a cat/kittens, dogs, mother and pups, pups on their own, a rescue animal needing recuperation after an operation, a donkey/pony or a goat. All bedding, food and cages (if required) supplied. Up to four weeks old a mother and her pups are no trouble whatsoever, all they need is a warm place and plenty of food for mother. Fostering is very rewardable, as you see the progress of the animal on a daily basis. We are looking for people who can commit to fostering for one week, minimum and then, whatever timespan that may suit after that.
For our dogs, we are looking for a foster home where the dog will sleep indoors, get exercise, have a secure outdoor area. For our cats, we are looking for a contained area for them to be kept in.
PLEASE seriously think about fostering - it is not a long term commitment - it does not cost you anything and you can choose the length of time that suits you. By fostering, you can hugely help reduce our costs, as the majority of our animals have to be boarded, which is a huge drain on our very limited resources.
If you feel that you could be a potential fosterer or would like more details please email us at christinemaryking@gmail.com

FUNDRAISING VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Can you help with any aspect of fundraising because, as with most charities, the current economic recession has really hit us really hard. We have more animals than ever in need of care and re-homing. If you could run an event or can help us in any way raise much needed funds, then please contact us on 096-76649 or email us at christinemaryking@gmail.com
Thank you for visiting our website, please take your time and browse. We certainly would welcome any comments or feedback that you might like to offer us.
