New for 2011

Come along and meet the adorable, adoptable pets. The Pet Adoption Area will become a popular feature area in the show and will prove to be extremely beneficial in finding loving homes for pets in need of a loving family. Staff and representatives are on hand to provide history on each of the pets and offer advice on how they should be cared for and the adoption procedure required by the various Animal Rescue Associations in Ireland.

Ireland has five times more stray dogs than the UK. The chances of a dog becoming a stray and ending up destroyed is 20 times greater for a dog in Ireland than it is for a dog in the UK. There is an overpopulation crises and the ongoing annual destruction of 25,000 - 30,000 dogs in Irish pounds is a result of this crisis.

Buy and Sell are passionate about pooches!

As Ireland’s largest online source of rescue dogs our team here at www.buyandsell.ie are working tirelessly to ensure hundreds of dogs in need find loving new homes. We liaise with organisations such as the ISPCA and monitor every one of our ads manually. We do not tolerate illegal activity of any kind and have a strict policy on animal cruelty and will immediately report any signs to the Gardaí and ISPCA. We want to educate our readers on issues such as animal welfare and every dog ad on our site includes a detailed information guide for prospective owners. As well as tips and advice on what to look for when searching for a new pet, we work closely with the Irish Kennel Club (IKC) to show our readers how to go about registering their new puppy or dog in our online guide. Our rescue dogs section is continually growing and has quickly become the biggest online source of rescue dogs in Ireland.

To encourage people to opt for rescue animals we also put these ads in amongst our dogs for sale ads giving people the option to give a loving home to an animal in need. All of our rescue dogs come from centres throughout Ireland and we aim to support these centres who work so hard to help these animals.
