West Cork animal welfare group;
Last night the rescue got a call from someone who came home to find this poor dog chained to the gate and seven little wet and cold puppies with her. She had jumped through the gate and could of hung herself as couldn't even get to them. They were collected by the rescue and immediately fed and given warmth and a cosy bed. The mother is skin and bone, she isn't chipped and we have no idea who did this. If we do find out it will be passed to the relevant authorities.
Whoever did this and had this dog is cruel and doesn't care, they got a dog, didn't do the basics or neuter, let her have puppies and then dump her in the wet and cold. Photo of the mother in the comments.
We no longer have fb donate added to posts but the button on the page still works and we do have paypal
Thanks very much everyone for helping us help dogs like these .
It's info@westcorkanimals.com
I just don't get it.. why not just bring them to a pound and say you found them? Look at the size of the chain on her neck

The punishment isn’t severe enough for this kind of crime. You’d be looking at a fine of €250 to €500 for this. Less than the price of a pup if you were selling them.
That is terrible,hopefully they will be OK. Lovely looking dog
Who’s claiming irish people are a nation of animal lovers?
Imagine what this person is really like inside, and what they would do if they could get away with it.
WTF indeed.
People who can’t treat animals with basic empathy, can’t treat humans right either. They are rotten inside.
Ive said it before and ill say it again: any abuse you carry out on the vulnerable (children, elderly, incapacitated/disabled, animals) should be done to you.
Let’s beat the shit out of you with a belt and throw you down the stairs. Let’s lock you in a tiny cage for years and starve you and then leave your emaciated body tied to a fence in the rain. After all that, THEN a prison sentence. Fucking arseholes.
What kind of sick degenerate abandons an animal by chaining it to a fence, never mind one that’s just had puppies. Fuck them.
Donated there.
A relative of mine has been actively working with a dog charity for a decade. The stories she tells me and the mountain they have to climb for animal welfare, I can assure you we are not a nation of animal lovers.
Most dog pounds are bursting at the seams and have sadly had to resort to euthanasia to deal with the problem of overcrowding.
Whoever done this is a scumbag of the highest resort and I hope they suffer every day
Can we try go all ‘Don’t Fuck with Cats’ on the scumbags who did this?
Anyone who does this type of animal cruelty should be named and publicly shamed. Apparently this is the second time this happened in the last two months, in West Cork.
People are honestly disgusting
Who did this should get minimum of a suspended sentence with a criminal record. That would be the lowest threshold of deterrence that would deter someone from reoffendig.
Makes me so angry
Until I read the description I didn’t see the puppies ,I thought that was a lump of melted semi-melted dirty snow.
Scares me there is people like this out there
What’s happening to these babies? Where were they found?
That’s a lovely looking dog how could you do that to her and them pups.
Disgusting behaviour. Look for the helpers
Horrible people…heartless bastards…hope they find decent homes for all, especially the poor mother…
What’s going through someone’s mind when they’re doing this? It’s genuinely perplexing. Rather than being a cruel, callous fucker, you could literally just drop them off outside a shelter and at least give them a *chance*.
We used to be
Should be a much more serious crime than it already is.
If someone could do that to an innocent dog because they think no one will know – imagine what they’re capable of doing to a human being.
My heart is sore looking at this. We’ve our outdoor doggie in our bed since his buddy died. He keeps pissing on my bed and I’m still cuddling him there cause omg they’re our responsibility
Sick bastards. Donated. Thank you for all your hard work 🙏🏻
This is sadly extremely common, and fuck all is done about it.
Growing up in the countryside, we would regularly find dumped animals. Scumbags would drive out to the back roads and offload them or worse.
I was going to say “especially sheep” but this sadly isn’t r/Wales
This just makes me so fucking angry, Jesus
During the pandemic suddenly irresponsible people needed a pet. They were working from home and bored, and wanted a pet without thinking about the long term. Shelters didn’t have the right type of dogs or they weren’t kid friendly. They wanted hypoallergenic dogs, designer cats, and designer pups. And so more breeders came onto the market, and sadly Ireland was already the puppy farm capital of Europe. The demand for cats and dogs died down. But people spent hundreds and thousands on the pets and wanted to make their money back. The demand wasn’t there anymore.
In the last two years people are returning to the office, and dumping their pets. They didn’t neuter them, and pets are being passed around. Everyday there are dogs and cats dumped with the babies. I’ve never seen so many designer dogs and cats being dumped. It’s adding to the 200,000 stray cats (ferals) in the country. Honest conversations can’t be had. There’s an excuse for it all. I wish people would neuter and spay their pets. Research into ownership. Perhaps try fostering before committing long term. It’s heartbreaking
People should not buy or breed dogs full stop. There are enough that need to be rescued.
Her big sad eyes, breaks my heart 😢 how could someone do such a thing
There’s some horrible horrible people out there
