Rihanna

Bull Terrier · Male · Puppy · 18 months

Rihanna was found as a stray, emaciated and looks like been bred from. The pound brought her back to normal her weight and then she came to us. Rihanna is approx 18 months old, she has settled well here and I do see an improvement in her with other dogs. She has a super temperament with people both men and women she’s very comfortable with everyone. She’s very good to walk and with dogs coming against her she’s also perfect. With other dogs off lead she can just be a little dominant and wants to be in charge. We have started muzzle training and she’s doing well. She wants to please and she’s very clever , she just needs some time put into her. At the moment I would say she would be best suited as an only dog where she will get the sole focus and effort put into her. She is very loyal and will get attached to her home. She will need an experienced home where boundaries will be put in place for her. She has a very bubbly personality and everyone that meets Rihanna immediately likes her. She is quite clean in kennel so won’t take long to learn it in a home. As Rihanna is bubbly we feel a home with teenagers upwards would be more suitable for her. Rihanna is a small girl, her pictures do not do her justice. As she is a restricted breed she will have to be muzzled when in public. Rihanna is spayed, chipped, fully vaccinated including kennel cough, wormed and de flead. Adoption fee and home visit applies. Please note we are in North Cork and adopters must be willing to travel to our kennels to meet the dogs and if applicable bring their own dog with them.

About Rihanna

What life with Rihanna looks like

Rihanna is a small puppy/kitten bull terrier dog waiting at PetMatch Ireland in Ireland.

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 Rihanna, answered.

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