The Irish Blue Cross

The Irish Blue Cross is an animal welfare charity that was founded in 1945. It provides a network of mobile veterinary clinics throughout Dublin and also operates a low cost referral scheme and a neutering scheme. The services of the charity target needy pet owners who cannot afford full veterinary fees. The Charity also runs a horse ambulance service which attends all race meetings throughout Ireland.  In Spring 2009, the Charity opened a new small animal clinic at its headquarters in Inchicore. The new clinic is ensuring that many more animals in need of vital veterinary care are receiving assistance.
