Dogs Trust Ireland has expressed concern about a possible unwanted dog crisis after finding a seven-week-old puppy in central Dublin.
The dog welfare charity fears that many dogs will be abandoned in the coming months as life returns to normal.
The little cub, now named Sean, was discovered “terrified and trembling” by a single passerby on a street in central Dublin.
After the Good Samaritan contacted the Dogs Trust, they discovered that the dog was not microchipped.
The charity is concerned that little Sean is just the “tip of the iceberg” of an incoming crisis.
Dogs Trust Ireland Executive Director Becky Bristow has expressed her “apprehensions” that there may be many more Seans to come.
“We don’t know how or why little Sean ended up alone, wandering the streets, but now he is safe, warm and loved,” he said.
‘However, we are quite concerned that there will be many more scared and lonely dogs coming to us in the coming months and we need to be there for them.
“Despite facing a fundraising deficit, we have not turned our backs on the dogs that need us, but we urgently need public support to continue saving these vulnerable dogs.”
Karla Dunne, Head of Operations, said dogs are popular right now, as many have an exceptional amount of time on their hands, but she fears some dogs may be abandoned once people return to their hectic lives.
“We have serious concerns that an influx of unwanted dogs is imminent in the coming months as life slowly returns to normal,” he said.
‘We call on the dog-loving community to help dogs like Sean, so they don’t become a voiceless victim of this crisis. Right now, dogs couldn’t be more popular, as most people have a lot of free time and value the unconditional love and companionship that dogs have to offer.
‘Unfortunately, this is not always the case and we fear that people will return to their busy lives; many dogs will be left out. “
