TV3 News at GSPCA Heathlawn to report on the break-in

We would like to thank each and everyone of the most amazing people who have helped, shared, donated, worked, spread the word and photos of our dogs that were so cruelly stolen from our animal sanctuary on Saturday. The response has been truly inspiring, and given us the strength to carry on. It proves that no matter how badly saturated our world is with ignorant cold hearted people like this, the strength, durability, compassion and love of the thousands of people who understand what it is to rescue and care for an animal, will ALWAYS outweigh the badness. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. (Geraldine Kennedy Hunt)

A BIG, BIG thank you also to Volkswagen Ireland and Western Motors Ltd., as they have just announced that they will be donating €1,000 to GalwaySPCA to help rebuild the sanctuary.
