Loving home needed for our Golden Retriever

🐾 Loving Home Needed – Sadly Rehoming Our Dog 🐾

We’re heartbroken to say we need to find a new home for our lovely dog. Due to a recent move and complaints from a neighbour about barking, we’re no longer able to keep him, and it’s not fair on him.

He’s a Golden Retriever, full of love and energy, and just wants attention and a safe space to call home. He’s used to being around people and would thrive in a home with a garden or someone who can spend time with him.

This is not an easy decision.

Thank you

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 (972274200388665) 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. Ask sellers about the vet who has taken care of the dogs. Ask for the dog's vaccination certificate(s).
6. Use our contract template www.dogs.ie/contract or another as a basis for a written contract & ask for a written receipt.
7. It's best not to bring young kids to first meetings, to avoid disappointment in the case you decide not to buy a dog.
