DOG WANTED

Good luck with your search. I'm looking for one in Wexford for a while now and they're scarcer than hen's teeth or motorhomes. I've seen collie pups for sale for €2000 I'm just looking for an ordinary mongrel mutt and they can't be got anywhere. With the lockdown there must be an awful lot of dogging going on.

Local dog pound should have dogs needing rehoming Liam, expensive dogs don't necessarily make better pets, and you can be financing puppy farms or worse, Stolen dogs

We considered adopting a 9 year old cocker about 2 years ago.
She had been used as a breeding bitch and suffered from severe anxiety. We would have loved to have taken her but she needed someone home all day, probably a retired person.
The breeder had as good as turfed her out as soon as she was too old for breeding and the family who had initially taken her in had small babies and another on the way and the dog wasn't settling well in that environment.
I've always been of the view that there are always dogs who need homes and that paying for dogs should be a big no no. The experience with this dog really reinforced that view.

Same here ....have never paid for a dog...... there is always a dog looking for their ever ever home....
