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.

Devastatingly one of their babies has had a stem cell transplant and chemotherapy. They will be returning from a hospital in the UK where they have been for many months and the house needs to be as close to germ free as possible. ![]()

They have made the heartbreaking but necessary decision to put their adored family dog up for rehoming. They haven’t chosen to lock him out in a backyard when he is used to an indoor life of comfort and love.![]()

***JACK RUSSELL FOR ADOPTION***![]()
Sweet little Mario hasn’t had any applications 😢. He’s such a super little dog and has settled really well into foster. This little man sadly never lived indoors until now and he’s got the hang of it very quickly. He’s almost fully housetrained, he gets on great with the resident dogs and he mostly ignores the cats.![]()
Mario was found straying in West Clare and ended up in the Pound. He has a lovely temperament and a great personality. If you are looking for a small, happy dog this might be the man for you!![]()
If you are interested in adopting four year old Mario please fill out the attached form![]()

Fantastic opportunity for people who are active or have a desire to work their dog or try dog sports such as canicross (running), mantrailing, scent work or flyball. ![]()
As pups they will require training. These intelligent dogs deserve first class homes. ![]()
