THE ISPCA is appealing to the public for help with donations and rehoming after taking in over 100 dogs in just three days.

A total of 86 dogs, including 23 puppies, were removed by ISPCA Inspectors from an unlicensed dog breeding establishment in Co Roscommon following a visit by the Inspector and the county dog warden last Friday. The dogs were being kept in very poor conditions and had only one person to care for them all. Nineteen of the dogs were suffering from a variety of health issues including mange, eye conditions and ear infections and are now receiving veterinary treatment.
