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.

Willow is a Jack Russell/Pomeranian cross. A tiny girl of 3.5 kg. She's 17 months old and hasn't been out in the world much so is happiest at home in the garden. She will benefit from a calm and patient home. She is very reluctant to get in the car or go on walks in busy places. She is bucketloads of fun and loves to play. She will fetch the ball for you all day long.![]()

"Fintan is the most lovable character full of charm and fun. Despite what he had been through, he has never left anything phase him. He needs to be with a mature family. No children, definitely no cats. He gets on great with a playful big dog. He loves car journeys and needs someone to be home full-time. Fintan needs outdoor space where he can do his zoomies and with easy access as he loves being outside the whole time. He also needs a place to be well fenced off and secure for him. He is starting to give lickies, which is so cute, and loves to cuddle up in bed."
