    that's a strange attitude by them :rolleyes: but i suppose it's good in a sense that their may not be too many dogs there needing homes :)

    What type you looking for, big? small?

    I know someone who is looking to rehome their dog, quite young, biggish though, used to children. They dont really have the time to mind it properly but dont want it to hand it into pound as they wouldnt like to see it put down, would prefer it to go to good home.

    the guy actually said that there was more requests for dogs than there were dogs for homes!

    I'd say it has been a while since they were able to say that and i am thrilled about that being honest ... no harm at all :)

    Have you checked the shelter past the pound, the guy and his partner cant remember their names that had a weekly slot on RTE couple of years ago? Its somewhere down past the guarda station, back of garveys I think.
