Adopt Maeve

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Maeve is one of those dogs that would break your heart. She arrived into the pound with Caserean stitches still in and still with milk for her babies but no pups. She was totally traumatised. She also had a number of wounds, itchy infected skin and broken teeth. She had not had an easy life. Since coming to A Dog's life she has recovered fully physically and is now in good condition. Our vets reckon she is about 8 years old. She is very sweet and gentle. Her foster mum says that having been through so much it is been great to see her mischievous and fun side emerge as she flys by with a stolen sock or her favourite, a glove - loves a thumb! She loves her Kong and food, lots of it and is soo grateful for treats! Her 'I'm sad' performance is heart melting and worthy of an Oscar! I think she will need ongoing patience and help with confidence building to finally leave her past behind. Maeve gets on really well with the other dogs and will cuddle up with a warm one! Probably best with a calmer dog or at least one that isn't overly bouncy and hyper. A guy like that might be a bit overwhelming and knock her confidence. Ideally she needs a home where she will have company most of the time and would do well with another dog for company too.. Maeve loves walks and investigating. She is crate trained and house trained. She loves to be busy around the garden.... searching for trespassing creatures or treasure. She is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped.

About Maeve

What life with Maeve looks like

Maeve is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at A Dog in Glenmore.

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 Maeve, answered.

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