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.

The Bear Group, in association with Dundalk BIDS are delighted to announce the return of the Life Style Sports Dundalk Half Marathon & 10k on Sunday January 31st 2027! The event begins and ends in Dundalk Town Centre and brings runners on a stunning route around its suburbs ! Finishers Medal included!
