Finn is a 5 year old male Border Collie in Kilkenny

Finn is an intelligent, handsome 5 year old male Border Collie who is looking for a new home.

Sadly my autistic teen has taken a massive dislike to any and all dogs and barking, so I'm seeking an active, loving home for him to go to.

He is a family dog and not a work/farm one so needs someone who will take him on adventures. He loves swimming and playing ball and falling asleep at your feet.

He is a great guard dog as well and protective of his person.

He is strong on the lead and in general so probably not suitable to a home with small children.

If you think you're the right person please message me.

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 (981020000805992) 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.
