  • Our friends at Mo Chara Animal Rescue are running short of a few essentials for the dogs in their care, and we would love to help them reach as many kind hearts as possible 💛

They are currently looking for donations of:
🐟 Tins of sardines/mackerel (preferably in oil)
🍝 Packets of uncooked pasta (any shape!)
🦴 Small/medium dog collars

Items can be dropped to:
📍 Either of their shops in Thurles or Cashel
📍 Direct to the rescue in Moyne
📍 Or get in touch with them if you would like to set up a collection point yourself

Every little bit helps these dogs get the care they deserve. If you are able to donate, or even just share this post to spread the word, it could make a real difference 🐶❤️

Our friends at Mo Chara Animal Rescue are running short of a few essentials for the dogs in their care, and we would love to help them reach as many kind hearts as possible 💛

They are currently looking for donations of:
🐟 Tins of sardines/mackerel (preferably in oil)
🍝 Packets of uncooked pasta (any shape!)
🦴 Small/medium dog collars

Items can be dropped to:
📍 Either of their shops in Thurles or Cashel
📍 Direct to the rescue in Moyne
📍 Or get in touch with them if you would like to set up a collection point yourself

Every little bit helps these dogs get the care they deserve. If you are able to donate, or even just share this post to spread the word, it could make a real difference 🐶❤️
