    try pounds like jw said, also keep an eye on donedeal i saw a springer on there not so long ago for 50 euro she was 3 years i think, chances of getting a 8 month old dog for free are slim though. best of luck

    been looking on done deal not much on it i just hope to be better by the new season

    Few weeks back in Tullamore pound there was a springer, two english setters and a lab cross. Few year old though.
    Theres a big place in Dublin. Il try find the website now.

    Oh yeah, before you take a dog from the pound you need the dog licence i think. Get it in a Post office

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭bazza888


    they asked you for 170e!usually they will except whatever u can donate as long as u goin take care of the dog well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭Everett


    Yeah, i felt sorry for the dog, was there for a good while according to the receptionist that came to assist us, i asked the age and she said between 3 and 5, said it was a stray, so when we got home the oh felt sorry for it and she phoned for advice on adoption, she was told it would be 30 non refundable deposit for home check and then 140 euro upon collection.

    As much as i wanted to give this dog a loving home i just felt a bit disgusted at that price, i would have happily made a generous donation but seen as i felt i was doin them a favour rehoming a dog which was there a good while, i decided to leave it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭bazza888

    thats what made me angry, and even when the oh was on the phone and heard the price she said ok well ill think about it, and the receptionist said "well ok but will i take a deposit now as its first come first served"..

    did you ever get a dog after sikahunter?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 258 ✭✭sikahunter


    no never found one im still lookin at the min


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 284 ✭✭sonofthegun


    Hi sikahunter
    dont known if this helps but the brother was with a lad in carlow who has droppers they are a springer /lewelan cross he has them advertised on done deal for only 50 euro might be worth checking them out the 50 euro only covers what the vet check cost him .both the parents are hunting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭vixdname


    *********THIS GUY IS A TIME WASTER***************

    I contacted Sikahunter with the offer of a FREE purebred springer bitch, he eventually sent me a PM saying that he'd take the dog, I PM'd him back with where the dog was and a mobile number for the owner.
    I told the owner that I had a taker for the dog, which is going to end up in the pound very soon. Sikahunter never rang the owner, never PM'd me to say he'd changed his mind or anything else. In the mean time another taker came aboard but the owner told him that Sikahunter was taking the bitch and turned him away, now that person has gotten another dog and the original one is now going to he pound on Monday. NICE ONE SIKAHUNTER - You wasted all our time and probably gave the bitch a death sentence on top of it.

    Lad stick a post up in here, Try convince your mate to hold off a week im sure you would get an owner....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,920 ✭✭✭Dusty87


    As eluis says, try hold off a week. How old is said dog and is it working yet?? I knew a fella who was on about one and i can ask is he still looking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭Spunk84


    If he couldnt get someone to take why not stick it up on Donedeal, easier than getting your dog destroyed:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭vixdname


    Have convinced my niece (she owns the dog) to hold off till Monday week, will put her up on donedeal.ie (the dog, not my niece !!!) and hopefully someone will take her.
    She just 8 mnths old, my niece got her and it was a great idea at the time, all of a sudden it wasnt such a good idea when she realised the dog needed to be trained not to pee on the floor etc etc.
    Will keep my eyes peeled and ears open till next week, cheers lads
