Rehoming our male Maltipoo puppy in Donegal – Loving Forever home Wanted

It is with a heavy heart that we are looking for a loving, responsible home for our Maltipoo puppy, Teddy.

He is a sweet, affectionate little boy who deserves more time and attention than we are currently able to give, as we have a newborn baby and other challenges in our family.

About Teddy:

• Breed: Maltipoo (Maltese x Poodle)

• Age: 15 weeks

• Personality: Gentle, playful, loves naps and cuddles

• Health: Vet checked, up-to-date on vaccinations and worming

• Training: Early crate training and commands started, doing well with his routine

We are looking for:

• A genuine, caring family or individual with time for training, play and companionship

• Preferably someone experienced with small breeds

• Teddy must be an indoor family dog, not for breeding or resale

Rehoming Fee:

A modest rehoming fee will apply.

This is not for profit but to cover his care expenses, essential items, and ensure that Teddy goes to a committed, genuine home.

What we will provide:

• His crate( medium size), bed, toys, food, treats, retractable leash, body harness, house leash and vet records

This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and we will only let Teddy go to a home where we are confident he will be safe, happy and loved.

Please be prepared to tell us about yourself, your home, your experience with dogs and why you believe you would be a good fit for him.

We will arrange a meet-and-greet with Teddy before any decision is made.

If you are genuinely interested in giving Teddy a forever home, please contact 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 (981098109117515) 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. See puppies in their home environment and see the mother of puppies.
5. Make sure the puppy is 8 weeks before taking ownership of the dog (closer to 10-12 weeks is even better).
6. Do not pay a deposit until you've met the owner & puppy in person.
7. Do not purchase a dog from a seller in a car park or other business location.
8. Ask sellers about the vet who has taken care of the dogs. Ask for the dog's vaccination certificate(s).
9. Use our contract template www.dogs.ie/contract or another as a basis for a written contract & ask for a written receipt.
10. It's best not to bring young kids to first meetings, to avoid disappointment in the case you decide not to buy a dog.
