About

Founded in 2020, Cians Kennels is a charity based in Killashee, Ireland working on health, children & youth, animal welfare.

Cians Kennels is a volunteer-run charity in Ireland that brings pets closer to sick children and their families. Founded in March 2020 by Enda and Evelyn Neary in memory of their son Cian, it was inspired by the positive effect the family's dog had on Cian during his illness. The charity provides free pet visiting, pet transport and kennelling services to qualifying families, including visits to the Visiting Centre at CHI at Crumlin, and relies on a network of volunteer drivers across Ireland. Its work includes fundraising, volunteering and merchandise sales.
