Help Us Out

MAKE A DONATION

St. Rocco’s Kennel faces high costs throughout the year including expenses for food, medical bills, and other running expenditure such as water and electricity. Any donation made to the sanctuary will be of great help and immensely appreciated.

We try our absolute best to make use of every single donation in the most responsible, accountable and careful way, and no donation is misplaced or misused for anyone’s needs except for the necessities and welfare of our dogs. Yet, we do understand that there may be people who are sceptic about making monetary donations. For this reason, we would like to encourage those of you reluctant to make a monetary donation, to consider making a donation in the form of gift vouchers redeemable from pet shops, animal pharmacies, or pet suppliers of your choice. 



SPONSOR A DOG

Many people often approach St. Rocco’s Kennel wanting to give a helping hand yet not knowing how. For those who cannot volunteer or adopt a dog due to time constraints we have found a solution. You could sponsor a dog for just €5 a month!
Anyone wishing to do so will receive a monthly update of the dog, and will be able to follow the pup’s journey until the lucky pooch gets adopted.




ADOPT A DOG

Anyone wishing to adopt a dog can contact us through our blog, Facebook Page, Email Address, by giving us a call, or just by turning up at the sanctuary. If you are interested in adopting, get in touch with us. You will simply be asked to fill in a form, and leave the rest to us! We will make sure to match you with a dog compatible with your needs and those of your household.




FOSTER A DOG

The team at St. Rocco’s Kennel is extremely proud of the fact that all kinds of dogs are taken in, regardless of their age, size or state of health. However, when an exceptionally vulnerable pooch shows up at our doorstep, a number of challenges arise as to where to keep this dog until it gets out of this helpless stage.

Such vulnerable dogs include puppies who have been separated from their mother as well as dogs which have just had a traumatic experience or are recovering from an injury.

In such a case, we look for helpers who are able to take these pooches in for a few weeks until a suitable and loving home is found. 




BECOME A VOLUNTEER

St. Rocco’s Kennel is in constant need of extra pairs of helping hands. Anyone wishing to become a volunteer can do so through the following ways:


HELPING OUT WITH GENERAL MAINTENANCE AT THE KENNEL
Many hours of labour are required to keep the place up and running. Anyone wishing to volunteer could help us out! We constantly need people to help us feed the dogs, wash them, clean the areas where the dogs sleep or spend the day, etc.

All volunteers are provided with the clothing required to carry out this job. This is a very rewarding experience and would mean the world to our dogs and to the rest of the team at St. Rocco’s Kennel!


ASSIST WITH INTERVIEWS
Anyone wishing to adopt a dog has to go through a process to ensure that they are able to provide a suitable home for these dogs. This requires visiting their homes as well as interviewing them and getting to know them better. You may help us out during this process by assisting or carrying out such processes.


TAKING OUR DOGS ON WALKS

St. Rocco’s Kennel has a large area where its dogs can run around. Nonetheless, these fluffy friends would still want to go on walks and get to enjoy the outdoors. Since there are only a limited number of volunteers, taking dogs on walks is hardly ever possible.

For this reason, you could help out by contributing just an hour of your time! Gather a group of friends, come together with your family or perhaps even by yourself and simply take one of our pooches out for a walk. It wouldn't take much or your time, but it would mean the world to that dog who gets to feel free and receive some individual attention!



HOW CAN I HELP OUT?

If you would like to contribute in one or more of the ways mentioned above, you can do so by getting in touch with St. Rocco’s Kennel. Speak to one of our volunteers today, and express your interest in helping us out.

On behalf of our tail wagers at St. Rocco’s Kennel, we would like to thank you for your interest and help!
