As Ireland's largest dog welfare charity, the core function of Dogs Trust is to reduce the number of stray dogs that are destroyed in Irish pounds each year and to educate the public about responsible dog ownership.
Since opening its state of the art rehoming centre in Finglas, Dublin, in November 2009, Dogs Trust has helped save the lives of over 4,000 stray and abandoned puppies and dogs. It also launched a new Puppy Wing this summer, in response to surging levels of puppies being abandoned in Ireland. The new wing will save the lives of an additional 500 puppies and the mothers each year and will cost an extra €400,000 a year to run; it also provides veterinary care.
Skoda will add a Yeti and a Roomster to the charity's existing fleet of their vehicles.
