Dublin SPCA sez:

The DSPCA are delighted with the court results from today of an owner of a cat (above) who died due to severe neglect and starvation. Swords District Court found Rudolf Ciskos guilty of mistreating his cat and fined him €200 and court costs of €500 all payable to the DSPCA.

He was also banned from the ownership of any animal for a period of 2 years.
This is a great step forward in court proceedings in a case relating to a cat. The DSPCA is rarely successful in prosecutions around cases dealing with cats as proof of ownership is difficult to prove.
Unfortunately in this case the cat had to be euthanasied by a DSPCA Vet on humane grounds due to the severity of neglect.

His Ma left him.

Dublin SPCA writes:

Shane a baby duckling was collected yesterday in the city centre. Shane’s mom was an unusual black and white mallard duck as opposed to the regular brown kind. The mother duck did a silly thing and nested in an enclosed yard where she could not walk her young back to the park. We presume the other ducklings did not make it as she was only left with one.
Our ambulance driver Gillian Duffy attended the call yesterday but despite all efforts she could not catch the mother duck as she flew off and that left Shane alone.
Shane is now in good company as we have many ducklings in the shelter. When they are big enough we will release them back to the wild. Good luck little man

903020869030207690302082Ruby Johnston with Linus the Irish Wolfhound this morning helping to launch the DSPCA Great Irish Dog Walk this September which will see the LARGEST number of dogs ever gathered together in one location in Ireland.

Organisers hope up to 5,000 dogs will attend the 3km  stroll in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, on September 28.

Five thousand.

We’d take Chompsky, but he hates crowds, other dogs, the Phoenix Park and walking.

A mere something of his former self.

I arrived to the Dublin SPCA with an injured back leg.  It was very bad so the only thing to do was to turn me into a 3 legged kitty!! As you can see from my photo I’be been upgraded from a cone of shame and I’m wearing a very fetching inflatable collar but it’s only while my injuries heal.  I will be able to live a happy & full life even though I only have 3 legs and I can’t wait to find a home where I can rule the roost!

Shadow, this morning (via DSPCA handler).

Three legs.

Handy for the stills photographer.

It was Dublin.

Last week.

From Dublin SPCA:

Meet Digby, he is the 83rd horse our inspectors were called out to last week alone. Digby was found wandering on the main road beside Citywest on Friday. He is not microchipped so yet again we have no way of tracing his owners. Our vets are currently looking into the the reasons for his skin condition and we will let you know as soon as we have an update.
We need your support to help horses like Digby, simply share his story to raise awareness of the importance of traceability or you can donate online to help with his care.

After slipping down a steep bank into water near the Kylemore Road in South Dublin, Barney had been wandering in the stream for several hours.

UNTIL this dramatic rescue by the DSPCA and fire officers from Dolphin’s Barn.

Barney was suffering from hypothermia and it was feared he wouldn’t make it.

Well…

Barney this morning munching on hay.

Says an officer:

Barney is in the DSPCA rehabilitation stables receiving care and treatment after his ordeal and we will be looking for a new home for him in the near future.

The very gorgeous George.

He’s had a time of it.

From Dublin SPCA

This little cat (we have named George) was rescued last night from teenagers that were trying to throw him into the canal at Inchicore Dublin 8.
A member of the public rang us this morning to say that he had seen three girls and two boys aged approximately thirteen to fifteen egging each other on to drop the cat from the lock into the deepest part of the canal. The man immediately went over and took the cat from the teens and brought it home to safety.
First off we would like to point out that this man although we cannot name him is a hero in our eyes and we are so grateful for his intervention although it would be only right for us to encourage anyone in this situation to call the local Garda station first for advice.
Also if anyone in the area knows who might own this cat please contact us, he is a 1 yr old male Tabby not neutered and very sweet natured. Call us on 014994700 or email lost@dspca.ie .
