About Jasper

What life with Jasper looks like

Jasper is a medium-sized puppy collie dog waiting at Clare Animal Welfare in Feakle.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window โ€” 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.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are often vaccinated, chipped, and registered, but confirm with the shelter. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Jasper, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jasper?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Clare Animal Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jasper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jasper if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Clare Animal Welfare whether they will for Jasper, what they require (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 Jasper already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Clare Animal Welfare lists Jasper as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Clare Animal Welfare, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jasper isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Clare Animal Welfare about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jasper 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 โ€” 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.
