*REHOMING thread* (Once off requests only)

    Welcome to the new rehoming thread.

    This thread is for once off rehoming of your own pets or offspring of your own pets.

    This thread is not to be used by agencies for advertising or rehoming of animals they have available for rehoming.

    So for example your cat has kittens and you want to rehome them then this thread is for you.

    Now for a couple of rules.

    Firstly once off rehoming requests only--If we see a user advertising rehomes on an ongoing basis then we will assume you are a Rehoming Agency.The decision as to whether you are a Rehoming Agency is at the Mods discretion and no arguments will be entertained.

    Secondly if you continue to post in this thread after us assuming that you are an Agency then you will be banned for a period of one month.Continued abuse of this will result in a permanent ban from this forum.

    Finally:The normal rules of the Forum apply here as well so we suggest that you read them before posting here.

    Finally #2: If you find a dog, it is your legal obligation to contact the guards or the dog warden to let them know you have found it.
    You then have two options:
    1. Bring it to the pound. If not reclaimed, the dog can be rehomed after 5 days with no comeback by the owner.
    2. Keep it yourself. In this instance, the legal owners have a full 366 days from the day you report the dog as found within which they can rightfully reclaim their dog.
    This also means that if you rehome a dog you find, you MUST tell the new people that there is a chance they might not be able to keep the dog, because the dog does not legally become theirs until 366 days has passed since you reported it to the guards/dog warden.


    Disclaimer: Boards.ie will not be held responsible for anything that goes wrong with a Rehome that has been initiated through this forum.Once the initial contact has taken place then Boards.ie has nothing more to do with the issue.

    The rules of this thread are subject to change at any time at the Mods discretion.

    Hope I have this in the right section. We have a 4yr old collie dog, currently works with sheep. Black,white and brown in colour and a very nice looking dog. However we need to rehome him as we feel he is not good with very young children and needs a new home with older children or adults. He is a friendly dog and loves to play ball when not working. He does work well with sheep so maybe someone on a farm would be interested.
    Just wondering if anyone could offer him a new home.
    Based in Monasterevin, Kildare.Thanks

    Hi everyone!

    We have three adorable kittens who have been reared indoors since they were born 9 weeks ago. 2 females and 1 male.

    They are already litter trained.

    They have been wormed and have no flees or other ailments. They are very healthy and playful and will make excellent pets to some lucky families.

    We would like to find new homes where they will be loved and cared for as part of the family as their mother is in our home.

    We are based in Mayo but are happy to travel to bring them to the right home.

    Cheers!

    Hi I'm new to this site so I hope I've put this in the correct place.
    I'm living in Co. Waterford and I have 5 kittens which are 4 weeks old. They are still feeding from Mum and I need to find homes for them. Two are ginger and smoke, one is smoke and really fluffy and two are black and really fluffy. Thankfully Mum is so gentle and loves being rubbed and attention and they have taken on her temprement. My three year old gets on great with them, he loves rubbing them. We cant keep them and their Mum and Aunt and her three, so we have to find homes for them. Thanks, hope someone will be able to help.

    i rescued a kitten off the road a couple of weeks ago he is a lovely little thing but i don't have the time to look after

    when i found him i thought he was on the way out so i brought it to the vet and was told he was starved and had cat flu so she was going to put him down cause she didn't think he'd make it so i said i would take him home and see if i could get him healty so within 2 weeks i had him de-flued and and wormed and now he is really happy and bouncy

    he always uses his litter tray now and has been in the house ever since we took him in except for when i'm with him

    he's black and white


    so i am looking for someone who has a lot of time and really loves cats

    and he has his own bed, litter tray and a couple of toys

    Muffin is an approx. ten week old female kitten, she was found in the middle of town on the road and was nearly hit by a car, she was starving and covered in fleas. She is a very friendly kitten and loves to be cuddled and is also very playful.

    Muffin has had a rough start and is looking for a home where she will be doted on and spoiled, We would like her to go to an indoor only home if in a busy area but will settle for an indoor home with access to the outdoors if in a rural area. She is perfectly litter trained and has never had an accident.

    She has been wormed and treated for fleas, owners will need to take her for vaccinations as soon as they get her and she must be spayed by 5-6 months. Muffin comes with a 'Caring for you kitten' booklet, her 'Record Chart' and her toys. New owners can change her name.

    Hey there,

    I have a Yellow Belly Turtle and id like to find it a new home. Ideally with someone who already has turtles.

    Its a very happy lively and playfull turtle - always pushing around his stones at the bottom of his tank, diving off his platform and climbing up the purifier and playing with the water coming out. She loves getting of the tank for a wander too and is usually very hard to find afterwards and covered in dust looking like tumbleweed...

    Im going travelling later in the year and she needs a new tank as she's is too big for the one she is in. She is about the size of a hand!

    Sparkles really is a great pet...

    Please contact me for pictures but ill post some later also.

    Thanks,

    Neil

    I’m looking for a home for Gingko. Setter/Spaniel cross though mainly setter. Approx one year old, neutered and chipped. We rehomed him when he was about 7 months old, but at this stage its clear that Gingko can never be trusted with our hens and we are not meeting his needs and he’s not meeting ours.
    This thread sums him up quite well, though he shows plenty signs of intelligence and has a good memory.

    Wonderful temperament, though still being a pup, quite excitable and can play a little rough with paws. He is quite good on lead, particularly with harness and knows basic commands. Sit, lie down, stay and come including to whistle, but once his nose is locked unto a scent he can become very deaf!
    He has not lived in house, but I think he would take to it quite quickly. Before coming to us, he was with others dogs for a week without issue.

    His needs are a good run for an hour or 2 each day. A walk on a lead is not near enough. Plenty things to chew! A secure garden/property and love. He doesn't seem to need a lot, but he repays many times. No one is a stranger, so useless as a watch dog!

    I will go through the 2 issues we currently have with him. The hens. Fairly self explanatory. His hunting instinct is very strong. He’ll pick up a scent of a pheasant from 40m and will be totally focused on this and blocks off every thing else around him. He knows the hens are to be left alone, but he is possessed with this instinct and this takes over. For this reason he needs to be restrained while the hens are out.

    When he is loose he is roaming 500m and more from home. Well out of earshot and within reach of neighbours house and road. He doesn’t come for a walk or run with us, but goes off and does his own thing seeking pheasants. He usually “checks in” every 10 or 15 minutes.

    I don’t know what he does when he catches prey except from experience with fox cub, which he picked up and shook after my arrival. He adores eating feathers!

    I believe this habit of roaming would be far less an issue if he wasn’t restrained while hens are about.

    We are in Wicklow.

    Have a beautiful white kitten,looking for a kind home. She is approx 14 weeks old. She was thrown from a car in a busy shopping centre. I have had her for 3 weeks now, unfortunately my older male cat is fighting with her all the time. :(

    She is full of love. Very playful and really likes snoozing on the couch with anyone who sits with her. Think she would be a briliant family pet as she is great with being handled. Also be very entertaining for anyone living alone looking for some company.

    She's been brought to the vet, wormed and treated for fleas. The only aliment she has is a hernia,which she probably got from being thrown out of the car. The vet says that it doesn't need to be operated on yet,and may never need to be. But its important to keep in mind that if it begins to effect her then it will require an operation.


    So check out the pictures as she is adorable. She didnt have a good start to life and looking for someone who can change all that for her!! ;)

    Hey,

    I hope this is the right place to post this, I have seven Gerbils that need a new home. I will let them go seperately, that is not a problem!! Five of them are babies that are now 2 months old, while the other two are the parents and they are about a year and a half old. If anybody knows of anyone that wants them please let me know. I am based in Wexford so they would need collecting by anyone outside of the area.

    They are no problem at all, and none have ever been sick, I am heading away to America soon and I cannot take them, so I have no other choice.

    Hi, We have found this kitty on the street about 4 weeks ago, it's a boy and he is about 4 months old (half way through between a kitten and a big cat).

    He is very friendly, loves to cuddle to people and playing with his little toys.

    Unfortuantley we cannot keep him since our Landlord doesn't allow for pets. We hope to find a good and loving home for this little fella. (Location: Swords, North Dublin)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    I've posted on here before but managed to keep her for a bit longer. I've only two weeks left in the country though, so I need to find a home for her ASAP.

    She's an absolutely beautiful reddish colour with dark brown spots. Massive personality on her. She's always been an "only pig" due to the fact that for some reason there are basically no female guinea pigs anywhere in town. She's perfectly content with this.

    She's super friendly, will sit in your lap for hours and fall asleep on you. Also enjoys perching on your shoulder and looking at whatever you're looking at. Will follow you around if she's loose (she's used to having the run of a hallway all day).

    Answers when you talk to her mostly without fail.

    She's used to getting a LOT of human attention, and is pretty spoiled. I'm not entirely sure how she'd react to having a guinea pig partner as I'm fairly sure she's now convinced herself she's human. I doubt she'd like sharing the attention, but it would never hurt to try.

    Guess she's just about 4 or 5 months old, not really sure.

    Anyway, she's located in Mullingar, and I need to find an incredible forever home for her as soon as possible. Drop me a PM if you can take her or know someone who can. I really want to know she's found a safe and happy home before I leave.

    Yellow Belly Turtle for rehoming

    Hi All ... I sort of inherited a turtle about 6months back and I would really like to get him a home with someone who has some time to dedicate to him. I have always been more of a cats and dogs person but I have to say these guys make unusual and interesting pets are fascinating to watch and can be handled if you have the time to allow them to become accustomed to it.

    The turtle himself is about a year old but is quite large for his age (about the size of the palm of your hand)... he lives in a good sized aquarium complete with filter, heater, turtle dock, basking lamp, ornaments etc. I have spent over €300 on the setup to ensure conditions are right for him to thrive.

    The only reason he has to go is because I am away from home for multiple days on end so I do not have time to give to him.

    If anyone is interested I will get pictures and I must stress that I want him to go to a good home only preferably with someone who has experience with turtles. He can come with his aquarium or if anybody who has an existing setup is interested he can come without.

    Also if anybody knows if there is a sanctuary in Ireland for tortoises I would be interested in seeing if I could bring him there as I want to ensure that this guy has a good future. :)

    Hello,

    I am the proud owner of a two year old hamster called Legolas. He is a fudge and white Syrian long-hair. He's used to handling and doesn't bite and has been a lovely pet. However, I am moving away from Ireland at the end of September and will not be able to take him with me, so am looking for a new home for him. He comes with a nice big wire cage with two exercise wheels, a water bottle, pretty much everything you need to own a hamster except for food. If anyone is interested, just send me a private message to hear more.

    Murray is male YBS, he's about 4.5 yrs old and in great health. His two tank mates who were a lot older recently passed away and I can't bring myself to replace them, but I know he's lonely. I'm hoping to move abroad soon and it just wouldn't be fair to drag him around the world on her own :(
    He is very human friendly, doesn't snap at fingers, and he's not nervous either and will happily bask in the presence of people...lovely to watch, and will swim up to you for looking for food.

    If anyone out there has YBS or RES already and would like another please let me know. I'm based in Dublin, can travel outside to meet if necessary.

    Only experienced turtle owners please, these animals require a lot of time and effort....and cash!

    It breaks my heart to let him go, but I know it's in her best intrest.

    I have two lovelyfriendly tabby grey kittens, ready to go they are ten weeks. I am in the Meath area if anyone is interested in one PM me.Thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 Ivete


    Hi! There are 3 lovely kittens in the garage of the block of apartments where I live (Castleforbes, Dublin 1). Two are 2 black and 1 tricolour. They are very sweet and very hairy, like small lions. Some people fed them but they are in danger as not everybody is as fond of them as I am. They used to be 5 but one got killed in a horrible way (sby not pleased with their presence) and the other was already rescued.
    If sby would like to save one of these fluffy kitties please contact me. I am sure they will make very nice pets.
    Unfortunately I cannot take them as I have already 2 gerbils and 2 rabbits.
    Thanks

    Hey people,

    I have 8 kittens of which I need to find homes for 7.

    Before the kittens were born the missus agreed to minding a dog for 2 weeks while the owners went on holidays. So in a week and a half I will either have found home for the kittens or the dog will have a field day. I would rather find some homes.

    So if anyone would like a kitten please reply or send me a pm and I will pass on contat details, or pm your number and I can call you.

    There are 3 full black kittens and the rest black/white. They are very healthy and full of play. They have just started to eat solid food (releaf to mammy cat lol ) and are used to playing outdoors too. They use a litter box (most of the time).

    My 2 1/2 year old son thinks they are great craic. He can pick them up without being scratched - so they seem to be good around kids too.

    Anyway, if any interested people are on here I would love to hear from you.

    Cheers

    PS: The kittens are in River Village - Monksland side of Athlone.
