Can I adopt from Great Hounds In Need if I live in another country?

Great Hounds In Need typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport.

What is the adoption fee at Great Hounds In Need?

Typical fees in Ireland cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport).
