How do I contact the shelter about Carey?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HART Animal Rescue Ireland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Carey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Carey if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HART Animal Rescue Ireland 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 Carey 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 Carey 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 HART Animal Rescue Ireland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Carey 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 — 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.

Carey is a sweet, happy, and incredibly affectionate greyhound who has transitioned flawlessly into home lifeIf you are looking for a loyal companion who greets you every morning with the waggiest tail, fills your day with playful energy, and politely shares your couch, Carey is the girl for you. 🏡 Her Ideal Home: A Home with a Male Presence: Carey absolutely adores men! She would thrive best in a household that includes a man to shower with her deep affection. A Playful Canine Companion: Carey has plenty of puppy stamina and loves to play. She is wonderful with all dogs, both big and small! Because her current foster friend Coco prefers a quiet life, Carey would highly benefit from having a playful pup in the home to zoom around with. An Active but Couch-Friendly Setup: She needs a family ready for outdoor fun, but equally ready to give up their prime sofa real estate. 🌟 Personality & Quirks: The Interior Designer: Carey loves big toys and has a hilarious habit of repositioning cushions and pillows to her exact, custom specifications! Clever & Curious: She is remarkably smart and learns new concepts very quickly. Her alert, curious nature makes her a joy to watch as she explores the world. Vocal Playtime: She plays wonderfully by herself and isn't afraid to bark happily to let you know she's having a blast. Bouncy & Enthusiastic: She is full of joy and can be a bit bouncy, meaning she will jump up to greet you if allowed. 🚗 Travel & New Milestones: Perfect Car Passenger: Carey is a dream in the car! She settles down immediately and enjoys the ride. She just needs a little assistance getting in, as she hasn't quite mastered jumping into the vehicle just yet. Conquering the Stairs: Showing off her clever nature, Carey has officially mastered the stairs! She confidently goes up all on her own. Coming back down, she is still a little hesitant and appreciates a reassuring hand on her collar to guide her. 👟 Walking & Training Status: House & Crate Trained: Carey is fully toilet trained, always does her business outside, and sleeps peacefully all the way through the night in her crate. Good on the Lead: She walks well on the lead but can pull a little when excited. She does best when walking in a harness.

Carey is a truly sweet, well-rounded dog who is ready to bring endless laughter, wags, and love to her lucky new family.Favourite ThingsPlaying with ToysLead WalksCuddles on Sofa

About Carey

What life with Carey looks like

Carey is a large young adult greyhound dog waiting at HART Animal Rescue Ireland in Cork.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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).
