    They were surrendered. Might be Newbridge House, can't think of another one.

    There is a place on the way from Balbriggan to the Naul - Reynoldstown Animal Farm, on the right hand side. Full of animals and place looks eerie enough.

    Newbridge doesn't have dogs in terms of them being an exhibit. I don't know of any petting farm type place actually that would have such a large selection of dogs.

    31 dogs all female and 4 nursing pups, sounds like a puppy farm as well as petting farm

    Might be best not to name businesses unless there is proof of wrong doing.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Definitely not Newbridge farm they take great care of their animals. I think it's the one mentioned below near the Naul. Only other one I can think of is the mobile one that goes around to schools and events. Can't think of name

    I went there years ago and it was AWFUL! All the cages/ pens were filthy. The water and food sources were so dirty. It was totally rundown and the animals were unkempt. Definitely more dilapidated than a regular working farm, which is what the owner said when I mentioned it.

    I just checked there online and it seems that they closed the petting farm in March so would tie in with the fact that the animals were surrendered.

    Aye, I took the kids years ago and came to the same conclusion.

    Mod note: Let's not speculate about which petting farm it is. No doubt it will become public knowledge in time.

    Not speculation know it hasn't obviously been named but clicked in and was hoping it wasn't Newbridge Farm.. So many fond memories of it,, it's a few years since we went there but they always took care of the animals. We used to go there for school tours, it was like another Mosney 😂

    Very sad article to read but not surprising sadly, seems to be endless articles about hurt and abandoned animals on social media. I'm looking after a heavily pregnant kitty, she is cuddled up to me and so dependent at the moment, I can't understand anyone neglecting a helpless animal :(
