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.

We are looking for a home in Ireland🥳
Just LOOK at those puppy-dog eyes🥹🐶 This is little Ross, one of our irresistible lurcher puppies who’s looking for a loving home. Can you please give Ross a share and tell him how cute he is? 🙏💕![]()
![]()
Ross is just over 7 weeks old and an absolute dote! He’s everything you could want in a puppy – cuddly, playful, full of joy, and outrageously cute😍🐾 He’s growing up in a busy foster home with his siblings, other dogs, and several cats, so he’s wonderfully well socialised and can happily live alongside feline housemates. He’s an easy-going little chap who tends to go with the flow and isn’t bothered by much! If you’ve always wanted to adopt a gentle sighthound but struggled to find one who could live happily with cats, now’s your chance🐕🐈![]()
![]()
Since Ross is still a teeny baby, we’re looking for a loving home where someone is around for most of the day, and with no young children under the age of 6. You can apply to adopt him if you live anywhere on the island of Ireland. If Ross could be the missing piece in your life, please fill out our pre-adoption form here: ![]()
