Dundalk Dog Rescue (DDR) is a pound rescue set up by Ann Moore in 2005. Dogs from the pound are taken in by DDR when their time is up in the pound and they have not been reclaimed or rehomed and are therefore at risk of euthansia. Stray dogs that end up in the pound are given five days to allow their owners to locate and reclaim them. After the five days is up they are available to the public for rehoming however if there is no interest in them they can be put to sleep. Often they will be put to sleep just to make room for more dogs entering the pound. Dogs that are surrendered by their owners are not even given the five days. They can be euthanised immediately if the pound feels they are unhomeable or if there is not enough room to keep them.

DDR removes the dogs and takes them into their care while homes or rescue places are found. DDR is run completely by volunteers, most of whom also hold down full time jobs outside DDR.
