Danny

Male · Puppy · 10 months

Danny is a 10 month old large, mixed breed dog who has a soft, affectionate temperament. He came into us from an elderly owner who wasn’t able to give him the time, training or exercise that he needs. Although Danny has all the traits to be a wonderful family pet we will have to be careful about the age of any children in his home, simply because he is unaware of his size and strength and he doesn’t lack for enthusiasm! He is still just a big puppy… Danny will not do well with leaving hours. He spent a lot of his life to date alone in a yard when really all he wants to do is to follow someone around. We are determined to find him a home where he has human or doggie company for most of every day. An active, nurturing home is what Danny needs. He would be fine to live with another dog, he absolutely loves them, but it would need to be a happy playful dog who is mellow enough to accept a new large presence in their home. Danny is strong onlead. He walks well on a harness, but he really has no idea of his size yet. A home with a large garden or access to nice offlead walks, along with regular training on the lead would be helpful. He is terrific off the lead with instant recall. Danny is extremely clean in his kennel, house-training should not be a problem. However, he is very unsure of what people want from him and will still do the submissive peeing we see from pups when they are uncertain or worried. Danny needs consistent kindness and encouragement to shed this puppy behaviour.

About Danny

What life with Danny looks like

Danny is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪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 Danny, answered.

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