Welcome to LAW! We rescue and rehome dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and many other animals when they find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. We have a no-kill policy. The animals remain in our care until we find the right homes for them.

Animals for rehoming are cared for at our Field of Dreams Sanctuary in Kilfinane, County Limerick (phone 063 91110). Visitors are welcome Monday to Saturday, 11am to 3pm. We also have two shops in Limerick City. Our shop on Parnell Street is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. The shop welcomes offers of good quality clothing and many other items for sale, which in turn helps to fund our Sanctuary. Our second shop, on 51 Roches Street, opened 1st December 2010. We are in the process of expanding our facilities in The Field of Dreams Sanctuary, Kilfinane, so that we can help even more animals. Come and visit us sometime. We have many dogs who would like to accompany you on a walk on our grounds and some ponies, goats and pigs who love visitors. We also welcome educational school visits which can be arranged by ringing the sanctuary. If you would like to volunteer your services, we would love to hear from you, whether you just want to walk a dog or help with painting and general maintenance. Every little helps to place another animal in a safe secure home. Call or come and visit us soon.

PLEASE TAG OR CHIP YOUR ANIMALS

For less than €10 Maxi Zoo will engrave your contact details on a tag for your dog. A tag with your contact details could save them from being put to sleep if collected off the streets, taken to the pound and are not rehomed in 5 days. Here at LAW sanctuary we could return a lot of dogs to their owners if only they would buy a simlpe tag and attach it to their dog'd collar, which is a legal requirement. Please pop into Maxi Zoo and give your dog a present for 2013, it could save his/her life.

WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT A HOMECHECK?


Many people are still confused as to what we mean by a fully-enclosed back garden. In simple terms, it means your garden must be "dog-proof" so that the dog cannot get out and run loose. Only a walled or suitably fenced garden (no chicken wire) high enough to prevent the dog jumping out will pass one of our homechecks.


A hedge will not do on its own because a determined dog will force its way through or under a hedge. We rely on volunteers to do homechecks for us - please don't waste their time. Before you reserve one of our dogs, do what ever work is needed to ensure your garden will fulfil our requirements. We cannot accept a dog run or invisible fence system as a substitute for a secure boundary. Please understand that we insist on these criteria purely for the dogs' sake. A lot of the dogs in our care end up with us because they've wandered away from home. In many cases, these dogs suffer severe injuries in road traffic accidents while they are roaming, and LAW are left to pick up the pieces. By law it is your duty to ensure that your dog remains on your property and is not allowed out in public unsupervised. LAW promotes responsible dog ownership. We must ensure that our dogs will be safe in their new homes.


DOG TRAINING

LAW recommends dog behaviourist Mark (Alpha K9 trainers).

Mark has helped many dogs with problems who have come into our care and with his help these dogs have gone on to find successful homes. Who's the boss in your house? Does your dog take you for a walk?? Is your dog agressive or fearful of strangers??? Mark says " I can come to your home and train you on how to train your dog. Contact me on 085 7377567 and I promise you'll see improved behaviour after the first visit!!! "
