A summer spike in dogs being abandoned has been been reported in Clare.
Within the last week, six dogs have been rescued by Clare’s County Dog Warden and all remain unclaimed.
The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals observed a 47% increase in the number of dogs it rescued last year and claimed in January that its kennels are at “full capacity”.
County Dog Warden Frankie Coote believes many people discard their dogs at this time of the year because they leave it too late to book them into boarding kennels.
