Levi

Mixed Breed · Male

Levi is a very special little lurcher who we cannot wait to see loved and cosy in a new home. He is been with us for months because he was so terribly underweight and unwell when he arrived (and because we adore having him here, what an absolute gentleman!) We would happily rehome Levi to most homes – he will be lovely around children, dogs, we may even consider cats! This dog is just the soundest, softest dog ever – to meet him is to love him! He walks nicely onlead, sticks with you offlead, adores every other dog, loves bed!!! With Levi, it is more the veterinary side to discuss. He was so skinny and low in energy over a prolonged period that we started to worry there may be some underlying condition. Throughout the last 10 weeks he has had bloods taken, scans and xrays to rule out every possible issue. The vets have now signed him off as healthy, but weight-gain and not too-much-exercise remain important for a while. Levi is slightly anaemic which vets suspect is from starvation over a long time as a young fella. He also has increased globulin levels which indicate that he was fighting infection / inflammation across many months. When we first got him we found a wooden fork in his stomach (eating out of bins maybe??) which was safely removed and may be the source of that globulin increase. Again, a steady diet to increase his weight and robustness is all that the vets’ advise to his future owners now.

About Levi

What life with Levi looks like

Levi is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

An 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 Levi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Levi?
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 Levi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Levi 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 Levi 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 Levi 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 Levi 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.
