Upon arriving at the ISPCA, Luna was given a thorough medical examination and was found to be in good health. She was also given a warm bed to sleep in and plenty of food and water to help her regain her strength. After spending several weeks at the ISPCA, Luna had started to come out of her shell and showed her true personality. She was playful, affectionate and loved to curl up on laps for a cuddle. The staff at the ISPCA knew that Luna would make a fantastic pet for a loving family and began to search for her forever home.

Protecting animal from cruelty and neglect

Inspectorate Service

The ISPCA Inspectors are at the forefront of animal welfare in Ireland. They respond to allegations of cruelty, neglect and abuse and also to aid sick and injured animals. In the vast majority of cases, our animal welfare officers find a solution to most problems by working with the owners of the animal(s) involved. Unfortunately however, this is not always the case and on occasion instances of cruelty, neglect or abuse are uncovered.

Inspectorate Service

The ISPCA Inspectorate directly interacts with thousands of animals throughout the year, and where necessary competently follow prosecutions. The increased powers afforded to the ISPCA’s Inspectors pursuant to the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 (AHWA) uniquely position us to be at the forefront of preventing cruelty to animals in Ireland.

Introduction Title

The ISPCA was founded in 1949 in Dublin, Ireland, after a group of animal lovers and activists came together to address the issue of animal cruelty in the country. The organization was modeled after the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) in the UK, which was founded in 1824.

The ISPCA's initial focus was on preventing animal cruelty and promoting animal welfare, primarily through public education and awareness campaigns. Over the years, the ISPCA's scope expanded, and the organization began to provide direct services to animals in need. The ISPCA established animal rescue and rehabilitation centers throughout Ireland, which provided care to sick, injured, and abandoned animals.

The organization also began to advocate for stronger animal protection laws in Ireland, working closely with the government and other animal welfare organizations to achieve this goal. In the 21st century, the ISPCA has become one of Ireland's leading animal welfare organizations, providing a wide range of services to animals in need.

The ISPCA continues to play an essential role in promoting responsible pet ownership and educating the public about animal welfare issues, while advocating for stronger animal protection laws in Ireland.
