Aran

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Aran came into our care in March 2025 after he was spotted straying in Bray, he would sleep in wet grass, shivering with the cold, he wouldn’t take shelter and was too scared to come close for food. Kind locals in Bray helped us to secure this boy after multiple attempts, we cried when he wagged his tail for the first time.Aran started to settle into the MLHR family when he realised he was safe and loved. We’re so proud of how far this amazing boy has come and have promised him a bright future, he’ll never have to worry again.Now he’s ready for his forever home. We would like to find a loving home where the family will visit multiple times to build up a bond with him, he will need another dog in the home to aid his confidence, he is best suited to a home with teenagers and no cats.If you’d like to welcome Aran into your home fill out the form below.

About Aran

What life with Aran looks like

Aran is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at My Lovely Horse Rescue in Ireland.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Aran, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aran?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. My Lovely Horse Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aran on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aran if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — My Lovely Horse Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Aran already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Aran isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with My Lovely Horse Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aran and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
