WELCOME TO CORK DOG ACTION WELFARE GROUP

Cork DAWG is an organisation founded and run mostly by a network of volunteers concerned with the welfare of abandoned, abused and ill-treated dogs in Cork.
Through our collective experience we aim to improve the lives of Cork's dogs and also endeavour to educate the public on dog welfare and dog ownership.

To do this, we need your help....

Very special home needed for Bijoux. Bijoux is a very pretty King Charles who has been used for breeding and never socialised. Bijoux is making very very slow progress. She is in a wonderful and very understanding foster home and there is no urgency in moving her but we dont want Bijoux to become a long term foster we really want her to find the home that suits her needs. Bijoux is very scared of people and needs to get to know you in her own time. She gets on great with the 2 male dogs she is in foster with. She is unsure of cats. There is no badness whatsoever in this girl. She needs a home where she can progress and grow in confidence and where nothing is expected of her. She has learned to go for a spin in the car without completely freaking out, getting a lead on her is still a work in progress. She is more or less housetrained. She lets Jane cuddle her sometimes. She even enjoys to be brushed. But only sometimes. If you would like more information on Bijoux please email us your details to info@dogactionwelfaregroup.ie

Remember Me?

Just look at me now!!!

Cullen came into us in an atrocious way, starving, hairless, weak. We would like to thank all our supporters who donated towards his care and especially we would like to say a thank you to his fosterer Katie who made Cullen her special project. Cullen developed rickets due to malnutrition and Katie gave him a special diet and put him under a special lamp every day to get some vitamin D. He has turned into a beauty. A pup with character and a very cheeky lurcher streak. Shame on the person who left a pup wander aimlessly in the condition Cullen was found. Well done to the person who didnt turn a blind eye and carried him to safety. Cullen has been given the all clear to travel to his new home in Jersey. Nicola will make the trip as far as the UK to collect him. Cullen will be missed in Katie's home but she will have room (in time) for another special project. Katie you have worked wonders with him. He will be leaving shortly to his fantastic future, one he very nearly didnt have. Cullen's is a story that makes all the hard work worthwhile.


The face of greed, breeding and puppy farms in Ireland today.

Piper is a Springer Spaniel estimated to be 7/8 years old. Piper was picked up by a very kind lady. Left abandoned and in such a sorry sad state it would break your heart. She is severely underweight, destroyed in mange and has weeping open sores all over her body. She was covered in fleas and ear mites and faeces. Piper has barely a tooth left in her mouth and is suffering with Gingivitis. The vet confirmed that Piper was used as nothing more than a breeding machine. She has had litter after litter leaving her whole body in a sorry state. Piper has obviously grown too old for puppies so therefore was just dumped like a discarded piece of rubbish and left to die never known what life and love is all about. Piper is now in foster care and even though this dog has been nothing but abused by the person who had her, she is very forgiving and craves love!! Pipers tail is wagging, it wags alot and she just wants to show her love and like all dogs her loyalty. Piper is quite timid but will slowly come over for a pat on the head. Hugs are too scary right now but with a little bit of reassurance they are just around the corner. Her mange is pretty bad at the moment and although she is receiving medication for it, it will take some time to heal. Piper scratched so much the first night in foster care that she left the carpet stained with her blood. How can anyone treat a dog so bad to allow it to get to the state that poor Piper is in. She has never ever known what it is like to be some ones pet, someone's Best Friend. She is such a lovable lady and is so so gentle and calm. Piper has no badness in her, only love. Thankfully this is where Piper starts to live again, she will never ever know cruelty again. This is her road to recovery and a life of love, soon will be her happy ending!!



Please help DAWG in its " 5 to survive " campaign.

We are experiencing very tough times at DAWG and we desperately need to increase our income to enable us to continue to rescue and rehome the so many dogs that need our help.

We are calling on all our supporters to help us in our " 5 to survive campaign".
We are asking for 5 minutes of your time to complete a standing order of 5 Euro a month and help us achieve our target of 500 new standing orders. This money will go directly to help the dogs that need it and it will enable us to continue our work. Our target will be posted on our website and will be updated weekly. In return for signing up DAWG will send each new member a thank you pack including your very own DAWG postcard, keyring and magnet.
Please help us achieve our goal and reach our target. Once we reach our target ALL our standing order supporters will be entered into a draw. More details on the draw will follow. Also for those of our supporters who already have a standing order with DAWG, please email and we will forward you our thank you pack.
The dogs of Cork need us so we cannot let them down. THANK YOU.
