Reuben

Mixed Breed ยท Male

Our absolute beautiful smiley Reuben. ๐Ÿ˜Ž We are hoping to find Reuben the perfect home. Reuben is 7 years young and is a lively energetic dog for his age, well able for long walks, hikes and loves running and playing. He is a lovely strong stocky little guy. Reuben has been with us now for around 4 months and we are hoping that the right person sees this post and his face and falls in love with him. Reuben LOVES people, we feel he would be best suited as the only dog in the home as he can become a little jealous sharing his human. He wants all the attention for himself. (He deserves it!) He is fully vaccinated, neutered, wormed, kennel cough. ๐Ÿ˜ŽHouse Trained (Spotless in the home and even when staying in kennels) ๐Ÿ˜ŽCrate Trained ๐Ÿ˜ŽAlways ready for walkies ๐Ÿ˜ŽKnows all his basic commands ๐Ÿ˜ŽLoves the Car ๐Ÿ˜ŽAmazing Recall โŽNot cat tested โŽNot suitable around small children as he is very strong If you feel like Reuben could be your new hiking/running buddy please fill out a form below.

About Reuben

What life with Reuben looks like

Reuben is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

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" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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 Reuben, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Reuben?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Laois SPCA handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Reuben on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Reuben if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Laois SPCA 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Reuben 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Reuben isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Laois SPCA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Reuben 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 โ€” 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.
