Cu

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Cu was found 3 years ago in Kildare. He was in horrendous condition. A severe leg injury, malnourished and flea ridden. His finder spent €3,000 treating his injuries and bringing his to the beautiful dog he is today. Sadly, illness has hit the family and Cu needs a new home. A quiet , child free home would be best. He is approximately 4 years old. Neutered, vaccinated and chipped. But it must be noted, he can open doors, so vigilance is important. Poor Cu was found cowered in a ditch roughly three years ago in Co Kildare. He was in a very bad way with a severe leg injury. His finder spent a lot of money treating his injuries and what a beauty he has transformed into today. Due to unfortunate illness in the family they surrendered him into our care to find a new home for him. Cu is vaccinated, microchipped & neutered

About Cu

What life with Cu looks like

Cu is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at PAWS Animal Rescue in Cork.

An 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 Cu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PAWS Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PAWS Animal 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 Cu 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 Cu 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 PAWS Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cu 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.
