Our Organisation

Inistioge Puppy Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue organization based in Inistioge, Co. Killkenny, Ireland. Puppy Rescue is a home run organisation. Registered Charity No: CHY 13987

The aim of our organisation is to protect against and prevent animal cruelty and abandonment.

We provide temporary care for many pound dogs, as well as other unwanted pets, until such time as the animals can be suitably re-homed. We have a strict no-kill policy.

This is not Art!

In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.

But this is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

Please sign this petition to stop this happening again. It's free of charge, there is no need to register, and it will only take 1 minute to save the life of an innocent creature.
