Our mission is to save the lives of dogs on the ‘put to sleep’ lists in pounds, help rehabilitate them & find them loving forever homes with families who will give them the life they deserve. We promote responsible dog ownership & actively encourage the neutering, vaccination & microchipping of all dogs. Since being set up in 2005 we have helped thousands of dogs. We are a voluntary run organisation that relies almost entirely on donations from the public. In 2022 we opened our own custom build rescue centre in Dundalk.

Charity fundraising has always been at the heart of the Dublin Marathon, with over €9 million raised each year by our amazing runners. Take part in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon and raise funds for a cause close to your heart!
