Welcome

ASH Animal Rescue is a non-profit organisation based in Rathdangan, Co.Wicklow. It has been a beacon of hope for animals since its founding in 1990 by Remi and Helena . Over the years, we have provided refuge to thousands of abandoned dogs, cats, and an array of other animals. After an incredible 35 years of service, Remi and Helena retired in 2025, passing the torch to their daughter Eva and granddaughter Sophie, who now continue the heartfelt mission.

We have a strict NO-KILL policy and take this very seriously. Any animals that can’t be rehomed for whatever reason will become permanent members of our ASH family and we will care for them for the rest of their lives. We can’t stress enough that this is not an invitation to bring us dogs that are not suitable for re-homing. We’ve survived until now on the generosity of friends, donors, volunteers and sponsors but right now we, like everyone else, are very seriously struggling to keep our head above water and care for the animals that are already in our care.
