About Brendan

Live with another dog: Pending successful meet & greet

Live with a cat: No

Live with children: 13+

 

Brendan is a 1½-year-old German Shepherd who has had a very tough start in life, but is now ready for a fresh beginning with a family who will give him the love and care he deserves.

When Brendan was found, he had been locked up outside on his own, severely underweight, with his coat caked in mud and heavily matted. Despite everything he’s been through, he is now on the road to recovery and looking forward to a brighter future.

Brendan will need a patient and understanding home, as he is likely to have never lived in a house before. He will need help with the basics, including lead training, but with time, consistency, and kindness, he has so much potential to grow into a wonderful companion.

Due to his needs, Brendan would be best suited to a home with teenagers or adults (13+) who can give him the space and guidance he needs.

Brendan is working on his muzzle training and socialisation with other dogs right now – and he is doing just great!

This young boy has been through more than he ever should have — now he just needs someone to show him what a safe, loving home really feels like. 💛

Brendan is currently in the care of NSPCA Longford

Registration Number: LD01

Country of Origin: Ireland

The Process

The adoption process at the ISPCA is designed to ensure the best possible match between animals and their prospective adopters.

Step One
Contact us

Contact the member society or animal centre and arrange to visit them. To save time you can complete an application form online, directly from the animal page.

Step Two
Get all the info

The member society or animal centre will give you information on adopting an animal, including the cost, and can help you fill out the right forms.

Step Three
Meet him/her

Following an assessment to match you with the right pet, you can meet the animals and reserve the animal you like.

Step Four
Show us around

A home visit will then be carried out to check your home is suitable for the pet you have chosen.

Step Five
Welcome your new best friend

When all the paperwork and checks are complete – you can take your new pet home! A follow up visit is usually carried out to make sure you and your new pet are happy!
