We answer in the order it arrives.
A note on how we work
Back Into Daylight is a small, dedicated non-profit team focused on long-term resident care. Please review these essential guidelines before reaching out.
Not for urgent emergencies
Our contact inbox is not staffed 24/7. If you have found an injured, abandoned, or distressed animal requiring urgent medical care, please reach out directly to your local veterinary clinic or municipal animal welfare service right away.
No offsite rescue or pickup service
We do not have a mobile collection unit or offsite wildlife rescue team. Every resident in our care lives on our sanctuary grounds in Eastern Ireland, and admissions must be coordinated with our animal care team in advance.
Welcomed inquiries & visits
We warmly welcome messages regarding adoption applications, volunteer roles, animal sponsorship, educational group tours, and pre-scheduled visits to meet our animal residents.
Ready to send a general inquiry or arrange a sanctuary visit?
We typically respond to community inquiries within 2 to 3 business days.
