Dogs Aid subsequently found private rented premises before the landlord reneged on his decision to lease the property, citing insurance reasons despite the charity being covered for private liability. Last Tuesday night, Dogs Aid held their regular weekly clinic from the back of a van, using the headlamps of volunteer’s cars for light. Zara Egan, a volunteer with the service, told TheJournal.ie that two dogs which were brought to the clinic that night were old and extremely ill, and had to be put down immediately. “Losing a pet is hard at the best of times,” she said, “but losing a pet at the side of the road, this incident was extremely traumatic for the family”. The clinic, set-up in 1987, runs on donations to treat dogs and other pets at a clinic in Ballymun at as little cost to the animal’s owner as possible. Dogs Zara Egan said that they were treating more than 60 animals per week, and are relied on by many in the community: “The people of Ballymun don’t have a vet. Some also don’t have the money but have a pet who could be their only companion” Dublin City Council have agreed to meet with the charity next week.
