Waterford Animal Welfare

Well, I guess you thought the new webpage was never going to be updated! At long last we have someone to keep an eye on it and put the latest information up - and guess what? He is none other than Andrew`s son, Michael! Many thanks to him.

Andrew Quinn, our Chairperson and Welfare Officer, is a familar sight in his animal ambulance throughout the county of Waterford and beyond and brings many years of experience to animal welfare. Andrew is a fireman with Green Watch at Waterford City Fire & Rescue Service and has been instrumental in rescuing many animals in the field of work. In his "free" time he offers help and advice to other animal welfar groups, assisting the traveling community and arranging help for those who are taken into hospital and need someone to care for a much loved pet. Andrew positively loves going to schools with a couple of rescued dogs and giving a slide presentation followed by a lively question and answer sesion. Feel free to contact us if you think your school or group would like a visit.

Jenny Wills of Brighton R.S.P.C.A has been working in animal welfare for the past twenty years, for the last twelve years she ahs been manager of Brighton shelter and through her contacts we have been able to re-home amny dogs in the U.K, especially those with a continuing need for veterinary care or particular needs. Many of Jenny`s contacts have been most generous in helping us with the initial costs of setting up but of course there is an on-going need for fundraising for veterinary bills and specialist feeds for animals when they are first rescued.

Jenny Pym, Rachel Power and Cathy Mc. Grath all have animals in there care. Some of these ladies may be known to you through there connections with other groups. For instance, Jenny Pym was associated with The Cat Protection League in the Dublin area.

Isabel Copeland-Eccles is our Secretary. She is a farmer`s daughter from the south-west of England although she has lived in the sunny south-east of Ireland for several years! Isabel worked for many years with the vets of a county-wide animal feedstuffs group with special emphasis on fertility, poisoning and soil deficiencies. She has bred and shown Boxer dogs but since moving to Ireland has specialised in greyhounds.
