Photos of dogs that need rehomed and rescued

Irish Retriever Rescue UK is a non-profit making voluntary organisation committed to safeguarding the futures of abused, abandoned, neglected or simply unwanted Golden Retrievers in Ireland.

Every year in Ireland, between 24,000 and 30,000 healthy dogs are destroyed; this is 10 times the number destroyed in the whole of the UK!

Our aim is simple: to ensure that no Golden Retriever ever becomes part of this frightening and heartbreaking statistic.

If you wish to contact us about rehoming a dog, have any general queries or updates for the website, please visit the Contact Us page for details.

If you would like to make a donation, please contact Belinda
