How do I contact the shelter about Tayto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A Dog handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tayto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tayto if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A Dog 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 Tayto 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 Tayto 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 A Dog early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tayto 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.

Adopt Tayto

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 18 months

Tayto is an 18 month old Staffie boy, who is a pretty typical adolescent, wearing his heart on his sleeve and up for action. He came into the pound as a stray and was there for a few weeks before coming into the care of A Dog’s Life – so he has been through a stressful time and we have been seeing the effects of all these cumulative stressors. This guy is coming on in leaps and bounds and will be ready to move on soon, with continued support. AniEd will be working with Tayto and his new family to help him settle into his new home so that this guy will be there to stay. Tayto is brindle point so he comes with a touch of the unique, and as you can see, he is frickin’ adorable! This little fella is sweet and social, he is appropriately friendly with new people, and is very tolerant of handling and contact. Tayto loves his grub, likes to play tug and chew and has become a puzzle aficionado. He is doing well with house training and sleeps soundly all night in his crate. To Tayto, the big bad world is a little overwhelming and although he isn’t fearful, he is a sensitive soul. He has been working on engagement, a little counterconditioning, how to move away when it all gets a bit much and the ability to just hang out and be. All of this work must continue, with guidance. He is in foster in a busy suburban area right now, and with continuing work, this is becoming easier and easier for him. He is being exposed to all sorts and is progressing well. Tayto enjoys trips in the car and travels well. Driving him to suitable places, like open parkland, will be part of his program too, providing him with opportunities to let off steam. A suburban or rural home will be fine for him, once car trips to suitable locations can be provided regularly. Engagement, enrichment and exercising work will also continue in and around the neighbourhood. His new home needs to be one without small pets or cats and no kids either. Tayto may live with a larger mature female companion dog, but life as a single dog will work for him too. He is becoming more and more neutral toward passers-by, other dogs, traffic and the goings on and can be redirected and engaged more easily; our program will continue to work on this in his new home too. Tayto can spend some time crated alone and settles well on his own. Once he has settled in, a couple of hours alone will work for this boy too. As with any new dog, the first three months or so will need to be quiet enough, adding in the challenges of family life gradually. Tayto will make a cracking companion for the right adopter who knows and loves this type of dog, understanding just how much every interaction is a love-assault. The right home for Tayto: Suburban or rural area. Secure garden a must. No cats or small pets. Adults and big kids only. Some alone time fine. Travel by car for outings. Continued commitment to working with AniEd, helping Tayto settle in. Lots of appropriate enrichment & entertainment. Have sense of humour and be ready for fun! Tayto is fully vaccinated (including kennel cough), neutered and microchipped. If you think you can offer Tayto a suitable home please fill out an adoption form below.

About Tayto

What life with Tayto looks like

Tayto is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at A Dog in Glenmore.

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).
