Find out about our work, our animals and all different ways you can help us.
About Us
At Back Into Daylight we create a safe and loving forever home for farmed and domestic animals in need. We also rehabilitate injured and sick wild animals and release them back into the wild. We promote a vegan philosophy and encourage people to speak out against the use and abuse of animals in the farming industry. By sharing the stories of our residents with the public, we strive to show people the incredible beauty, serenity and individuality of other animals.

Foster Home for Gentle Violet
She is a well trained and lovely 9 years old husky-cross. She is very gentle and calm with children and loves cats: she has lived with multiple cats most of her life.
Violet has always been the only dog in her home, but is very friendly and playful with other dogs, so with proper gradual introduction she’ll happily fit into a home with other dog buddies.
She is still very energetic for her age, but after sprinting or a long walk she’ll sleep for a long time. She loves company, but also loves her own space.
Please get in touch with us if you can foster lovely Violet!

Food For Thought
It is not an act of kindness to treat animals respectfully. It is an act of justice.
– Tom Regan
Know Your Numbers
Worldwide, more than 70 billion land animals are killed for food every year. We run an outreach program to encourage people to end their part in any use and abuse of animals by refusing to buy and consume animal products.
Our sanctuary relies predominantly on donations from private supporters and our own fundraising efforts to finance our work. We are grateful to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for the Animal Welfare Grant of €4000 we received in December 2022.
