How do I contact the shelter about Fiachra?

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 Fiachra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Fiachra 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 Fiachra 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 Fiachra 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 Fiachra 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.

Fiachra

Lurcher · Male · Adult · 4 years

Fiachra has been waiting for his second chance at happiness for a while now. Could you offer this gorgeous boy the dry, warm home he deserves?🐾 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: MEET FIACHRA! 🐾 Looking for a big, beautiful boy to rule the roost? Meet 4-year-old Fiachra! He came into our care from the CSPCA in August 2025 after being found half-starved. As nobody was showing him any interest at the CSPCA, we couldn't leave him behind, and now he is ready to find his forever castle! 🏰❤️ Fiachra is a striking lad who looks confident at first glance, but he still has a slightly sensitive side and is looking for a family to help him continue building his confidence. Here is what you need to know about this big, handsome boy: ✨ PERSONALITY & TEMPERAMENT * ☀️ Fair-Weather Friend: Fiachra absolutely hates the rain! If it's pouring outside, he will literally bury his head in his bed to avoid going out. 🛋️🌧️ * 🗣️ Vocal & Expressive: He isn't overly needy, but he likes to let you know he's there when he wants a bit of attention! * 🧠 Confidence Building: While he appears self-assured, he is still finding his feet and needs a patient owner. * 👶 Older Families Only: Because of his impressive height, he could easily knock a small child over by accident. He is best suited to a family with older children. 🐕 COMPATIBILITY & HOME SETTING * 👑 King of the Castle: Fiachra wants to be your one and only! He needs a home with no other dogs. * 🐈 Cats: He is not cat-friendly. * 🌳 Ideal Location: Best suited to a more rural area where he can enjoy quiet walks and express himself freely. [1] 🧼 HEALTH & HOUSE MANNERS * 🚽 Housetraining: His toilet training is coming along beautifully and is nearly there! * 💉 Fully vaccinated (inc. Kennel Cough), microchipped, and neutered. 📍 ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS * 📍 We are based in North Cork. * 🚗 Adopters must be willing to travel to our kennels to meet Fiachra. * 🏡 A secure, enclosed garden is strictly required. * 📝 Home visit and adoption fee apply. [2] Fiachra has been waiting for his second chance at happiness for a while now. Could you offer this gorgeous boy the dry, warm home he deserves? Please send us a message to apply! 💌

About Fiachra

What life with Fiachra looks like

Fiachra is a large adult lurcher dog waiting at HART Animal Rescue Ireland in Cork.

An 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).
