About Ireland

Ireland is a gentle dog with a rough past, saved from the brink at a local pound that couldn’t bear to see her story end too soon. At around 8 years old, she’s been through more than her share, left on her own for years and raising litter after litter without real care. But even after all that, she’s overflowing with love for people—a true companion dog who craves your presence more than anything else. Ireland hasn’t had positive experiences with many other dogs, so she’d thrive as the only dog where she can soak up all the attention you have to give. Ireland wants someone to finally care for her the way she deserves. She’s waiting to meet someone who’ll let her give back all that love (and probably then some). Ready to fall in love?
