*****Posting again for Bruno. ๐Ÿพ For some reason our previous adoption post for Bruno is glitching. Ready for rehoming, our Beautiful Boy Bruno. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿพ A gentle and loving natured senior soul. Loves people and heโ€™s very curious and friendly. He gets along with other dogs and seems more content to have company with him but a dog of similar size would be better as he can be very clumsy around a smaller breed and doesnโ€™t realise how big he is and can walk all over them. He loves his walks and is good on the lead. Short regular walks seem to suit him more so than long adventures. Heโ€™s a very obedient dog. He needs plenty of space both inside and out. He loves his bed by the fire & a back scratch too but all he really wants is to be cuddled up beside you on the couch given half a chance but sleeps nice and quietly in his crate at night. ๐ŸพHouse Trained ๐ŸพCrate Trained ๐ŸพWould like another dog in the home ๐ŸพShort leisurely walks โŽNot cat tested DAFM No KPT200001C If you feel you can give Bruno a loving home please fill out an application and our team will be in contact

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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 Bruno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Laois SPCA handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruno on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bruno if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Laois SPCA 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bruno 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bruno isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Laois SPCA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruno 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
