Whiskers New Park Animal Sanctuary

It is located in the peaceful surroundings of the Co Galway countryside. Janice continues to run the sanctuary but no longer takes in new animals, instead focusing on letting her long term residents live out the rest of their lives in peace.

My husband and I moved from the North East of England to Ireland over 25 year

s ago. A couple of years later we decided to set up an animal sanctuary. The animal sanctuary has seen many changes over the years. We started out with only a few animals but over the years we have been home to everything from peacocks to guinea pigs and rabbits to ducks. All our animals are vaccinated and neutered. We have looked after many animals, many of which have included amputees and 'problem pets' who often do not get an opportunity to be re-homed. Here with us they are given a secure and happy home by way of purpose built houses and plenty of land to run around. They stroll back to their houses in the evening to eat, but if they should wish to stay out for the night, there are plenty of treehouses and other places for them to sleep. We have nursed so many animals back to health from the brink of death since we began. We have spent many, many hours caring and nurturing for each one's health so that they would be healthy enough to find a new home with someone who would give them the care that they deserve. We no longer receive funding from the dept. but instead rely on donations and my pension. All that we have ever asked is that anyone who takes an animal from us can make a donation to cover, at least partly, the expenses that we have incurred in neutering and vaccinating the animal.
