ABOUT
Clare Animal Welfare is a non-profit, charity organisation registered in Ireland.
We actively search for permanent, quality homes for our animals through advertisements in local newspapers, veterinary clinics, pet shops, and special events that provide exposure.
We actively support, encourage and promote neutering of pet dogs as an ethical solution to the over-population and killing of dogs in Ireland. We also wish to improve the welfare of dogs through general education of the public and through education programmes for children.
The CAW website and Facebook page provide current, up-to-date information about all of our dogs and our work.
Our Mission
Clare Animal Welfare's ultimate goal is for all dogs to have permanent, loving homes.
We wish to help create a world where no healthy, good-natured dogs are killed merely because they are considered to be surplus to requirement.
SERVICES
Fosterers assess dogs for us, help them after surgery (spaying and neutering usually) and socialize and train the dogs.
This is usually temporary and can last for a few days to months. Fosterers can adopt, although keeping a healthy number of fosterers is imperative for us.
Adoption is similar to fostering as regards caring for the animal. However, adoption is a permanent arrangement.
We are a non-profit, charity organisation registered in Ireland. Please support us by contributing. Your contributions help to ensure we continue to re-home unwanted, neglected, abused and abandoned dogs.

Awww Chico. We are so sorry, we didn’t even have one enquiry about you. ![]()

Chico will have to go to the Pound if he doesn’t find a foster space. This will be an awful set back for this boy who came to us from the Pound. Unfortunately his current foster home cannot keep him as he doesn’t like being left when they go to work.![]()

Chico is living with a two year old child and is very good with them. He is a lazy, sleepy boy who likes to chill out and relax. He’s good on the lead and likes other relaxed dogs.![]()

Please folks, this is super urgent. Regardless of how placid they are these bull breeds are very vulnerable right now. ![]()

We need your help to spread the word to find Chico a place🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful photo of Kaito (was Beech). Kaito was one of the little lurcher puppies adopted from CAW last year♥️
***URGENT***![]()
Chico is a sweet, gentle boy that came to us from the Pound. He needs someone home most of the day as he doesn’t like to be left alone. He would be fine as an only dog or with another calm dog for company.![]()
***This is super urgent ****![]()
If you can help please send us a DM🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic to see a CAW dog excelling in scent work. So enriching for beautiful Shadow♥️
