Cottage Rescue is a Small Animal Rescue based in Longfield, Cashel, Co Tipperary that prides itself on being a Safe Haven for any animal that is needing help in finding it's new 'forever' home and we are an independent voluntary organisation totally dependent on the goodwill of our members and the generosity of the public.
We opened our doors on the 14th of March, 2006 and became a Registered Charity in October 2006. The Rescue takes in dogs, cats, goats, horses, ponies, small animals, wild life and we also help the public to Neuter their dogs and cats. We work closely with the local Garda and Vets which makes all our jobs much easier.
The Rescue is run completely by our volunteers and these volunteers often put the needs of the animals before their own. Cottage Rescue is a charitable organisation and is able to do it's good work only by the kind donations of the public. We have many bills with the Veterinary care, Vaccinations, Neutering, Spaying, Microchipping, Worming, Maintenance of the Kennels and Runs and Feeding of the animals in our care and sometimes Expenses for Boarding Kennel's.
Cottage Rescue works in a home environment, with specially built kennels and runs to house the rescue animals in. They are also brought into our homes to be properly asscessed so that they can be re-homed more successfully. We work closely with our adopters by doing home-checks to find out just what they are looking for in their new animal. We are then able to match the new adopter with the animal that will best suit their home and family life. A small adoption fee is required to help cover the costs of vaccinations and veterinary treatment the animal has received before going into it's new home.
Cottage Rescue also deals with animal neglect and cruelty. We investigate reports of cruelty to animals and where necessary we bring in Vets and the Guards in order to bring charges against the owner. We often take in dogs and horses from desperate situations and they require extensive medical care before they can be rehomed.
The aim of Cottage Rescue is the prevention of cruelty to animals, the promotion of animal welfare, and the rescue and re-homing of unwanted or stray domestic animals. We also work closely with the public through education, and helping to neuter or spay as we feel this is the best way to prevent unwanted puppies and kittens. Our Rescue is continuing to grow and as it is we are constantly looking for more ways to raise funds to help us continue caring for the animals.

You might be curious about where the donations to Cottage Rescue are spent. When we receive donations the money goes directly into an account set up for Cottage Rescue. The money is then spent on veterinary bills which include vaccinations, microchipping, worm doses, neutering/spaying, flea treatments, and any other care that the animals coming in may need, we also purchase dog food, cat food, horse feed and bedding for the animals. The bills for our Rescue are never-ending and we are always very grateful for any donations!
