How do I contact the shelter about Casey?

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

Can I adopt Casey if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 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 €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Casey 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 Casey 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 Laois SPCA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Casey 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.

Casey

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Casey. Casey came into our care back in March. She was extremely malnourished on arrival, but has thrived in foster care and is now looking for a home to call her own. Casey is a 2/3 year old pitbull/staffie x with an extremely sweet nature. She is an energetic girl that loves walks, hikes and all forms of play. Casey loves a cuddle and will happily lay up beside you or at your feet. She’s very affectionate and will make a vey loyal and loving companion. Casey loves the car and will happily hop in to go on an adventure. She is crate trained and is content when left alone for short periods of time. She loves her soft toys and will always make sure they are tidied away on her bed. She really enjoys lick mats and toys that provide mental stimulation. Casey had been attending dog classes and knowns a lot of commands. She loves to use her brain and would thrive with an owner that could provide further training. She also walks well on the lead. Casey is a young, strong dog so needs a home with dog savy kids 12+. Unfortunately we have found she can be reactive to other dogs so she will need to be the only pet in her home. She also falls into the restricted breed category so she requires an experienced owner that is willing to continue her training. Casey is: * House trained * Crate trained * Muzzle trained * Loves the car * Loves outdoor adventures * Knows basic commands (Sit, stay, down, paw, come etc) * Neutered * Fully vaccinated * Microchipped Casey needs: * Dog savy kids 12+ * Only pet in home * No cats * Experience with dogs, ideally with similar breeds, or willingness to show knowledge of restricted breed requirements. If you feel you can offer Casey her forever home fill out an application on our website, link in bio 🐶🐾🐕 Microchip:972274200685362 DAFM No. KPT 20001C ❤️

About Casey

What life with Casey looks like

Casey is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

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).
