About This Cause
Our role is to is to prevent cruelty to animals, to promote animal welfare and to pro-actively relieve animal suffering in Ireland. The Society supports the aims of similarly minded animal welfare bodies throughout the world. The ISPCA believes that animals have the right to live their lives free from needless suffering and we aim to rescue, rehabilitate and responsibly rehome animals that are subjected to cruelty or neglect. We also believe that all animals have an intrinsic value entirely independent of their value or use to man and should be respected and protected accordingly. In short, we: Promote animal welfare Prevent cruelty to animals Relieve animal suffering Inspectorate Service The ISPCA Inspectors are at the forefront of animal welfare, they respond to allegations of cruelty, neglect and abuse and also to aid sick and injured animals. In the vast majority of cases our officers find a solution to most problems by working with the owners of the animal(s) involved. Unfortunately however, this is not always the case and on occasion instances of cruelty, neglect or abuse are uncovered. The ISPCA Inspectorate directly interacts with thousands of animals throughout the year, and where necessary competently follow prosecutions. ISPCA National Animal Cruelty Helpline A National Animal Cruelty Helpline operated by the ISPCA, deals with many thousands of calls regarding animal welfare. The public have become more aware of animal welfare and intolerant of what they perceive to be cruelty or neglect. Consequently the volume of calls to the ISPCA has increased in recent years and continues to rise stretching our services beyond measure. If you believe an animal is in need please call 0818 515515 Monday to Friday 9-5pm in the strictest of confidence, or you may fill in a confidential online complaint form. ISPCA Animal Centres The ISPCA’s has four rescue and rehabilitation centre’s were developed in order to support the ISPCA Inspectorate and member societies with the rescue, rehabilitation and responsible re-homing of cruelly treated and neglected animals. The ISPCA National Animal Centre, Derryglogher, based in Keenagh, Co Longford opened in 2002 and is accessible to our Inspectors from across Ireland. The centre is designed to provide veterinary care and rehabilitation to all animals subjected to cruelty or neglect and to return them to a state which enables them to be responsibly re-homed. The National Animal Centre can house over a 100 animals in need at any one time. The ISPCA Equine Rescue Centre is located in Mallow, Co Cork. Following the huge increase in cruelty calls involving horses and ponies, the decision was taken to develop a centre for the rescue and rehabilitation of all equines. Staff at the centre in Cork, care for many equines from the south of the country, and also collaborate closely with the equine unit in Longford. Our Donegal Centre was opened in 2017. It is located at Barrack, Ballyare, Ramelton, Co Donegal F92 T1HR Our Wicklow Centre is located at Sharpeshill, Ballygannon More, Rathdrum, Co Wicklow A67 YK81. The ISPCA took over the running of this centre from Wicklow SPCA in March 2023. The Centre’s both aid the Inspectorate and support the ISPCA’s 14 Member Societies and other animal welfare organisations throughout Ireland.
