Flo

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

When we first met Flo she had only ever lived chained to a wall and been there since a pup now just over 2 yrs old. No bed or any comfort in Winter. Laying as best she could on wet, dirty cold broken up cement. No continued access to fresh water and only being able to see four walls 24/7….. like most farm dogs deemed useless to work. Can you imagine that? 💔 Look at Flo now 😍 She is just beautiful. Already she is doing well on the lead. She just needs more life lessons as everything is new to her. Now she loves cuddles and thrives on your affection. She loves all dogs. Was interested in the cats to meet them but never had met any. I do feel she could live with them. She loves our teenage volunteers so that age would suit.Flo is so grateful to have been rescued she will make such a loyal companion for one of you to adopt and we all know a rescued Irish ex farm dogs make the best ones. They forever remember you were the one who gave them that chance 🐾

About Flo

What life with Flo looks like

Flo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Haven Ireland in Ireland.

A 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).

Frequently asked

Adopting Flo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Haven Ireland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Flo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Flo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Haven 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Flo 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 Flo 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 Animal Haven Ireland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flo 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.
