Limerick Animal Welfare is recording an unprecedented year-round surge in puppies and kittens alongside an increased number of horses needing shelter. The sanctuary has been operating at near capacity for a prolonged period and is admitting animals continuously. Operational costs have risen significantly, notably insurance, veterinary bills, wages, food, fuel and utilities. Public donations have declined even as the number of animals requiring shelter and care continues to climb. Soaring costs combined with reduced funding have left the charity struggling to cope. The charity faces a particularly challenging Christmas period as resources are strained and demand remains high.
