About Rover

What life with Rover looks like

Rover is a medium-sized puppy lurcher dog waiting at Clare Animal Welfare in Feakle.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window โ€” 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.

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 Rover, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rover?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Clare Animal Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rover on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rover if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Clare Animal Welfare 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rover 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 Rover 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 Clare Animal Welfare early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rover 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.
