Adopt Ray

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Ray came into our care earlier this year after been found by a very kind lady out walking her dog. He had a severe broken front leg and was very malnourished at only 12 kg. Our vets did an amazing job to save his leg and that they did and went above and beyond to care for him – keeping him until they were happy it had fully healed. Ray is building weight as the days go on – he is now at 15.1kg, however we would love him to get a home of his own so he can continue to grow and socialise as he is still only a baby at 8 months old. • Ray is microchipped, vaccinated & neutered • He also has his own passport so he can travel to the big world out there • Ray is still a little shy and needs reassurance – this will come in time as he is still a baby • He loves heading out for a walk and definitely loves when you bring him with different dogs – he gets very excited as he gets to play and socialise • Ray could live in a home with other doggies – we feel this would be very beneficial for him as he loves them. He could also live with children, and being so young he could be introduced to cats in the home • He loves to chill out in his bed surrounded by his toys and teddies • Ray is spending his young life in kennels, so he asked us could we help him into a home of his own to experience life for real • He is starting to have the freedom of a little run now – it is very quirky and he definitely loves himself while doing so • Ray loves his food and especially is partial to some chicken and turkey – he will lap that up If you feel you can be that family for Ray please get in touch via email

About Ray

What life with Ray looks like

Ray is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at PAWS Animal Rescue in Cork.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪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 Ray, answered.

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