Fiona’s Story
Fiona was 12 years old when she began paying for her neighbours' dogs to be neutered. Not because anyone asked her to. Because she could see a problem and she did something about it.
Over the decades that followed, she trained as a voluntary cruelty inspector and served as vice-president of Wicklow SPCA. She studied law and farming, not for the qualifications, but to better understand the systems that allow so many animals to fall through the cracks.
What keeps her going is not stubbornness for its own sake. It’s the hard-won optimism that comes from watching a dog that arrived terrified slowly learn that people can be kind.
Wicklow Animal Welfare exists because of that optimism. And because one person, over 50 years ago, decided that looking away was not an option.

Service Provider: Fundraising Solutions
A one-off donation is always welcome.
A monthly commitment changes how we operate.
When we know what is coming in each month, we can book vet appointments without checking the balance first. We can say yes to the next pound call without hesitation. We can plan a neutering clinic and know it will go ahead.
Even €10 a month makes a measurable difference.
Over a year, that covers parasite treatment, vaccines or emergency care for several animals.
