Dogs in Distress - Dublin

Dogs in Distress (DID) uses a network of fosterers who offer short-term homes to the dogs that we rescue. We rely on our fosterers to provide a safe and caring environment for our dogs. Foster based care is particularly important and beneficial as our fosterers can provide great insight into the dogs personality and the kind of home he will be best suited to.

This means we do not have a premises where the dogs can be visited.

You can view all of our dogs needing permanent homes in the ‘dogs needing homes‘ section of our website. If you are interested in adopting any of our dogs the following is the process involved:
