I am just about to adopt a dog privately (not through a rescue centre) and am wondering about a licence.
According to An Post website :
"Under the Control of Dogs Act 1986, which was amended in 1992, all dog owners are required to have a dog licence.
To get your Dog Licence all you need to do is drop into your local Post Office where you can buy it over the counter. "
and
"What type of licence do you need?
Individual dog licence – covers one dog for a period of 12 months"
So if the current owner has the dog (micro-chipped, ID'd, etc with chip number on the lecence) licensed, do I need to buy a new licence for Shep?
We have no dog-warden in this county, thus no-one monitors strays, fouling, etc
