Lovely female Beagle 8 years 6 months old looking for a new home

Lovely female Beagle 8 years 6 months old.

Due to the change in family circumstances, we are relocating to another country. We cannot take her because of the uncertainty with living environment and their extreme climate.

(1) Age: 8 years 6 months

(2) Temperament/personality: very timid, no aggression in her, loves sleeping on sofa all day. Comes to cuddles and play when she feels like it. She wants to be part of the family all the time. Fine with strangers (young and old) when she sees them on street but she can be very excitable when we have visitors. She also gets really excited and barky when she sees other dogs too close to her (which may appear aggressive but no, she's just too excited). We keep her attention using treats when out. Not tested with cats and other animals.

(3) Training: Fully house-trained and crate trained. No separation anxiety. She was taken to puppy training at our local vet and DSPCA trainings. Really good with commands when there is food for her.

(4) Suitable home: possibly as an only dog (unless prepared to take time to help her adjust), not too many visitors if they don’t like dogs.

(5) Daily routine: gets up around 7/8 am, goes into the garden and does her business. Comes back and straight onto sofa/crate for the morning. Goes to the garden around lunchtime and then stays with us for a bit. Goes to sofa/crate for afternoon nap. Gets up around 4 and asks for walk. Follows us around after walk until dinner time. Sits with us when we are on the sofa (which she thinks is hers). Goes to bed when she feels like it. Repeat.

1. Keep communication through our messaging system for as long as possible.
2. Choose carefully what information you share about yourself in your messages. Do share info if you have a garden, young kids, or other suitable information to help the seller know you are a suitable buyer.
3. Report suspicious activity to your local Garda Station and to us via the Report ad button.
4. We recommend you print or save a copy of this page for your records in case the ad is updated / closed.

1. Ask sellers to provide an ID (driver's licence / passport) and take note of their contact details. You will also need to provide the same & a proof of address to transfer the microchip to your name.
2. Note microchip IDs posted here (972274000230474) and check the microchip certificates (important) when you visit to make sure they match and the sellers details are on the certificate too (see example microchip certificates).
3. Do not purchase a dog without seeing a microchip certificate. It is illegal to sell a dog without a microchip that's fully registered (info).
4. Do not purchase a dog from a seller in a car park or other business location.
5. Consider buying a puppy starter pack of essential items .
6. Ask sellers about the vet who has taken care of the dogs. Ask for the dog's vaccination certificate(s).
7. Use our contract template www.dogs.ie/contract or another as a basis for a written contract & ask for a written receipt.
8. It's best not to bring young kids to first meetings, to avoid disappointment in the case you decide not to buy a dog.
