Fred

Lurcher · Male · Puppy · 10 months

About: Fred came to the shelter as a stray. At just 10 months old, he is still so young and excited for a future filled with new adventures. He is a very affectionate & loving boy, full of fun, very playful and excellent on lead (once he gets that initial excitement out!). Fred will make an amazing companion once given some consistent training, regular exercise/ play, routine and of course, a loving home to feel safe in. Poor Fred can become stressed when left alone for too long – so he will need someone at home most of the day to help settle him in. Suitable to live with: Older Children / Teens + Compatible With Other Animals: Dogs: Can be homed with another female of similar size (pending a meet & greet) Cats: Not suitable to live with cats Microchip no: 972274200582453

About Fred

What life with Fred looks like

Fred is a large puppy lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary in Dublin.

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 Fred, answered.

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