Christmas is the most magical time of the year but for victims of puppy farming it is a time of sadness and solitude. As a proud Dogs Trust Ambassador, I am supporting Dogs Trust Ireland to raise vital funds for their Rehoming Centre through my Christmas Beauty Giveaway! 

In the last two years Dogs Trust Ireland has spent €61,085 on veterinary fees alone, treating 161 victims of puppy farming, the majority of whom came from two sources, who were each fined less than €2,000 each.

For puppy farmers every new pup born is just another commodity and every breeding mum, another piece of equipment. One that gets used again and again – Breed. Give Birth. Repeat.

Puppy farming is a life sentence, especially for the mum left behind. By buying that ‘cute’ puppy advertised online, you may be unwittingly fuelling the trade that sentences the parent dogs to a life of misery.
