Rescue Contacts and References
The Irish Water Spaniel Club of American has a designated Rescue Committee, a pack of experienced and willing volunteers to help our dogs. If you need help with or information on Irish Water Spaniels in need of new homes, please contact one of our Rescue Committee or any member of the Irish Water Spaniel Club of America.
Rescue Committee
Created to meet the needs of purebred IWSs in need. Maintains an active liaison with shelters, identifies IWS at risk, and assumes control of IWS where needed. Works with breeders to assist in breeder recovery of IWS in need. As necessary, arranges for transportation, health checks, temporary housing, and re-home.
