The Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals mission is to prevent cruelty and neglect of animals through fostering the compassionate relationship between animals and people. It is a charitable, non-profit, independent organisation. It operates in Dublin city and county. The mission is to be accomplished through education, advocacy, active direct care, pet population control, and screened rehoming.

The Dublin Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a registered charity, established in 1840 to prevent cruelty to animals and is now Ireland's largest animal welfare organisation. Cruelty, neglect, accidental injury and sickness to animals continues today - and we are still here dealing with these problems. We fight animal cruelty and abuse in all of its forms. We also provide direct care for thousands of animals at our shelter in Rathfarnham for both domestic pets and wildlife and also through our mobile veterinary clinics.
