Chevy the friendly male Foxhound Mix

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the need to find a new loving home for our beloved 3-year-old Foxhound mix Chevy.

Chevy is currently in the care of friends as we are out of the county. He is a bundle of energy and highly active, making him the perfect companion for someone who loves to stay on the move. His intelligence is unmatched, requiring constant engagement to keep him from growing bored. Chevy's friendly nature is one of his best traits, though he prefers to be the centre of attention, showing a tendency to be a bit cranky when he has to share the limelight. This makes him best suited to a home without children or other pets, as he can be possessive over his food.

Chevy is fully vaccinated and wormed. The ideal environment for him would be one with plenty of space for him to explore and play, a cosy spot for him to rest at night, and an owner who can dedicate the time to keep him mentally and physically stimulated. We are looking for someone who can commit to providing Chevy with the love, attention, and care he deserves, helping him to thrive and become the best dog he can be. This decision has not been easy for us, and we are determined to find Chevy a home where he will be cherished. For more information about Chevy and to discuss if you could be the right fit for him, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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 (972274200125989) 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.
