Monty

Beagle · Male

Monty is a 5-year-old Beagle who is friendly, affectionate and loves being around people. He enjoys his walks, loves following his nose and is always happy to get some attention. ✅ Knows basic commands ✅ Good with other dogs Monty is also a real Beagle, and anyone considering him needs to be prepared for that side of him too. He can be stubborn, will test boundaries and isn't always impressed when he's told “no”. He also has a habit of finding things to chew if they're left within reach. Monty has shown some resource guarding around things he considers valuable, so his new home will need to understand this and be comfortable managing it. For this reason, Monty is looking for an experienced, adult-only home and cannot be rehomed with children. Monty also needs to be the right match for the other animals in a home. While he is good with other dogs, he is not suitable for a home with cats or other small animals. Monty needs time when moving into a new environment. He needs to get to know the people around him, learn his new routine and understand what is expected of him. He shouldn't be expected to walk into a new home and settle immediately. For the right person, Monty has a lot to offer. He's affectionate, sociable and full of character, but he needs someone with patience, consistency and a good understanding of dogs who is prepared to give him the time he needs to settle.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a small adult beagle dog waiting at PetMatch Ireland in Ireland.

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 Monty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Monty?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PetMatch Ireland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Monty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Monty if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PetMatch 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Monty 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 Monty 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 PetMatch Ireland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Monty 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.
