Duffy is a 2 year old male Golden Retriever in Dublin - very sweet dog

Duffy is a lovely, affectionate male Golden Retriever who would do best in a home where he will be loved and well cared for. He has been part of our family since March 2024, and this has been an incredibly difficult decision for us. Due to changes in our circumstances, we can no longer give him the time and attention he truly deserves.

Duffy is a sweet, gentle boy with a soft personality. He loves being around people and enjoys walks and cuddles. He would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of love, care, and companionship.

Duffy is fully vaccinated and neutered, and up to date with all routine care.

He is also a happy, healthy boy and is currently on a very manageable long-term medication for a mild ongoing condition. The condition is well controlled, and he lives a full, active life with no impact on his daily routine. His medication is easy to manage and costs approximately €25 per month.

We are looking for a kind and responsible family or individual who can offer him a safe, stable, and loving environment. His wellbeing is our absolute priority, so we want to make sure he goes to the right home.

If you think you could give Duffy the home he deserves, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d be happy to answer any questions and make sure it’s the right match for everyone.

Thanks
