Five Cavachon dogs were recently rescued from a home in Co. Laois.

The ISPCA’s National Cruelty Helpline had been contacted by a concerned member of the public about the welfare of the dogs at the property.

An ISCPA Inspector with the aid of local Gardaí rescued five severely neglected Cavachon dogs (three of which were puppies) from the home in Portlaoise.

ISPCA Inspector Jimmy McCormack outlined that the living conditions at the home were very grim, with rubbish strewn everywhere and the long-term neglect of this situation, is something that will disturb him for long time.
