Lucas

Mixed Breed · Male

Lucas was found as a stray and brought to the pound in the most disgusting state, very underweight, his skin was in such a bad way with red raw patches all over his body. He had 2 filthy collars on his neck so tight and a heavy chain hanging from one. Because of the abuse and neglect he suffered Lucas now finds it very hard to trust people. There are a few people he has learned to trust but this took time and experience. Lucas will now be extremely difficult to rehome so while he waits for his miracle we have promised to look after him for as long as it takes.

About Lucas

What life with Lucas looks like

Lucas is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Angels Ireland in Blackrock.

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 Lucas, answered.

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