CARA RESCUE DOGS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Cara Rescue Dogs Company Limited By Guarantee is a volunteer-run charitable organisation founded in 2011 by a small group of animal lovers in County Laois. The group rescues unwanted, stray and neglected dogs and puppies, providing them with safe, loving foster homes until a permanent "forever" family can be found. Through a dedicated network of volunteers, the charity also offers short-term care for lost dogs, reuniting them with owners where possible, and collaborates with local dog pounds to take in animals for re-homing when space permits.

The core of Cara's service is its foster-home system, which allows each dog to experience a genuine slice of home life. This hands-on approach gives volunteers the insight needed to match dogs with adopters based on factors such as children, other pets and living space, ensuring a lasting, harmonious partnership. While the organisation's hub remains in the Laois area, its fostering network stretches across most of Leinster, including Dublin, enabling a wide reach for both rescues and adoptions.

As a 100 % voluntary, non-profit operation, Cara Rescue Dogs relies on public donations to continue its vital work of preventing animal cruelty and giving countless dogs a second chance at a happy, secure life.
