Adopt Mick

Mixed Breed · Male

Mick is a harrier hound type male aged approx 2 years. He came into our care after being involved in a road traffic accident which resulted in a broken front leg and an injury to one of his back legs. As it was over a week after the accident when we were able to catch him and subsequent surgery, he will probably always have a slight limp on that front leg. Having said that he has had great vet care and has made a very good recovery and the leg does not impede him in any way. He still loves his walks and will need an active home.He likes chew toys, rawhide bones, and has a good appetite. He is a big food fan. He loves to play and enjoys his soft toys and tug toys. He loves hide and seek and tugging games. He is very gentle, loving and affectionate.He is good on lead generally but can pull a little at the start so will need some ongoing work with this. He is good with other dogs. He needs an active home and ideally where he will have company. Once he has had his walks he is calm and easy going in the house.He is house trained and good in the car - he usually will just take a nap. He is neutered, fully vaccinated and micro-chipped (972274200056176).His ideal home would be an adult home or with teenagers (as he is not in foster with children we will not rehome him with children); where there is someone around most of the time and with owners who enjoy long walks and other doggy activities. Ideally we would like to find him a rural home (with a secure garden of course) or a quiet, suburban location. If you’re interested in adopting this fun loving softie, click below!

About Mick

What life with Mick looks like

Mick is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Mick, answered.

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