What's new with dogs.ie — new site & new features

Your dog search for finding a dog in Ireland has never been easier with dogs.ie! Over the past 15 years we have continued to update the website to ensure that it's both feature full and easy to use. Over 85% of our visitors view the site on their mobile phones, and we've created our website with that in mind. Our design aims to help in an effortless dog search at every step of the way. We hope that the website is as easy to navigate as we have intended.
