I have two goldfish and they look after the house while we’re away…..

Spongebob spaniel, Jethro bordercollie, Darcey notailed cat(owes me over hundred euro vets fees which Im unlikely to see), Stripey the sociopathic cat(cheap to feed as she’s killed every rodent within 5 miles) and Frasier and Niles kittens. Frasier going to a new home today, Limerick not Seattle.

I have 4 cats but used to have 23. Basically, I started feeding 2 strays and well, they have a bush telegraph system that’s second to none and over the space of a few months I was coming home from work to face 23 wailing cats & kittens all demanding to be fed. They were all wild to begin with but I managed (have the scars to prove it!) to catch the females and have them neutered and a few of the males (ones that were kittens & I was able to tame) and so gradually the numbers went down to a more manageable figure. Seems to be quite a high mortality rate in my area despite it being rural, not sure why. People thought I was nuts spending so much money getting them neutered (I’d estimate I spent around €1000 in total) but I couldn’t let them keep having 8 or 10 kittens each per year, it would’ve cost much more in cat food in any case!

sorry niles jumped on the phone.

3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 3 chickens and goldfish! ………and two children.

I’m the servant to three cats, Maggie, Pangur and The Bug. Drive me nuts, but love them.

Three black cats. People think I’m a witch. Maybe I am.

4 dogs, one of which is a Rottweiler cross who thinks he’s a lap dog and is sprawled across my knee, 3 cats and 2 goldfish.

3 Shetland Ponies. 2 dogs. 15 hens and an endless supply of animal shite for the garden and veg patch….

No, not at the moment, have always had dogs but live in an apartment with two others so it’s sadly not an option.

I have 2 humans, 1 male aged 50 well behaved and a female 46 who I’m willing to trade for a lamb shank

My partner and I would dearly love to adopt a dog, but at the moment our work schedules keep us out of the house for far too long to leave a dog unattended. Despite us having a large garden, and a shed that could be converted to a daytime shelter, leaving a dog without company for 45 hours a week isn’t right.

I have a Beagle (see profile pic) best thing I ever did was get a dog.

would love a dog but apt i live in doesn’t allow it, also I’m away from the apt for over 8 hours so it’s cruel to leave a dog alone for that length of time. My idea for an office dog has fallen flat in my workplace.

No , I would love a dog but I can’t afford one so I won’t get one if I can’t look after it properly.

Wish I could have a dog, landlady wont let me. Also my apartment is too small not fair on the animal more than anything.

2 dogs, 3 cats 1 brilliant rabbit, all “given away” . 3 goldfish. One horse and 3 ponies, one of which is also “abandoned” . 5 kids . Pity can’t give everyone pony nuts to eat, life would be so much easier..

Thumbs up if your dog goes nuts when you say “walkies?”

4 cats, 1 dog and a few hens.

To the s***head who dumped the massive, 6 month old cat on my lawn shortly after Christmas last year….you’re a p***k but thanks anyway for one of the most mellow, chilled out, friendliest cat I’ve ever owned, probably won’t interest you much but he’s finally in a home where he’s appreciated and secure..:P

8 Cats. All foundlings. Also feed a further six strays and have had to pay for the neutering of all the females in that colony too. Rules to live by: don’t buy a puppy/kitten if you don’t like cats/dogs. Don’t get a pet if you can’t afford to neuter, vaccinate, worm and feed it properly. Sooner or later, cats will piss on everything – get over it. Animals have no voice, no choice and no bank accounts – they didn’t bankrupt this country, so why should they suffer for our greed?

They shouldn’t make it so hard to get the animals, we were up at the DSPCA in Rathfarnham and put our names down for a dog, of which there were plenty, and they never got back to us.

Yes, we have a much loved cat called Hugo, currently looking for a companion for her as I’m out during the day and she’s bored :)

horse & two gerbils. had two rabbits from the ispca but they sadly died after spending 7 years with us. i want to rescue a horse from the irish horse welfare trust.

Have a few pets here at the moment………..
1 dog
1 cat
3 degus
2 turtles
2 bearded dragons
1 cornsnake
1 everglades ratsnake
1 boa constrictor
10-15 fish

We have two dogs, and our cat has staff………

Ten year old Doberman that still thinks she’s a puppy!!

I’ve had hundreds of pets over the past 5 years, then again, who wouldn’t if you were keeping a whole hoard of swordtail fish!! :D So right now I’m more controlled with my 8 marine fish, 2 shrimp and one crab! :D We have a puppy on the way but it’s only 2 weeks old now so have to give it a few weeks before bringing him home! :) My final parrot recently passed away from old age…absolutely love animals, they really fill a void which all humans have for nature! :)

5 chickens egg making machines !

We have an utterly spoiled cat, unfortunately named Fluffer. We think she was an abandoned Christmas present as she showed up on our doorstep on January 2nd five years ago, a tiny, needy kitten.

Shebs, the bow ‘Wow’ collie x…her humans think she’s a soulful creature but really she’s just an artful beggar…she’s14 now and has cost me an arm & leg and even a few toes to date.

I have a cat that I found as a feral kitten. He likes to sleep in the window sill and occasionally brings us “presents”. Love my kitty!

I have a miniature jack Russell

I have 8 pets 5 dogs and 3 cats There all rescue dogs and one is a Greyhound there are so many dogs and cats in rescue centers at the moment.

Have a beautiful Irish setter.. couldn’t live without her. And also a cat who rules the world !

just rehomed a four year old cavalier spaniel! couldn’t have pets before cos of living in bedsit! now have an absolute character who gives her love freely!

2 dogs,Deeogy and Sophie. 3 fish,plectrum the pleco,kitty the catfish and another catfish which we never bothered naming…..would love to have more dogs but it’s not cheap. If we go away and need a kennel it’s expensive enough,then vaccinations and food. Will always get rescue dogs though. Would never buy a dog. There’s too many people breeding,it’s just ridiculous and unfair to the poor animals

I had a Tibetan terrier X for 14 years, loved him to bits, he only died 2 years ago and i miss him like crazy still. Had two collie X with my ex but he kept them, really miss them and now my boyfriend has a bullmastiff which I’ve adopted, he pretends to be thick as shit but he’s really sneaky and intelligent (this is the dog, not my bf) he eats my underwear, shoes, pissed on the curtains and unforgivably ate my sandwich straight off the table when I left the kitchen last week…

He’s house trained and knows a good few commands but somedays he just plays up… Wouldn’t swap him for the world tho because he gives great cuddles and scares politicians away from the door :)

I voted no but my parents have three dogs. Benson a black lab who is not aware of his size and throws himself on your lap looking for cuddles, honey a beagle cross who was a rescue dog who was treated very badly in the past and does not trust many people but
can be affectionate when she allows you to get close and roxy who is a cross between a chihuahua and a jack Russell the poor dog hit every branch on the ugly tree on the way down but has a great personality to make up for it.

Two 13yr old westies and two huskies all house dogs so chaos is the norm.

Here in Dublin I have a gerbil, the most boring pet of all. Back home we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Would love a cat here in Dublin.

Three big dogs and wouldnt be without them!

I have four cats here and there a bug, a spider a few flies ;-) living in the country!!! ;-) I would looove to have a small farm and work towards it…and it is a SHAME that people BUY puppies and then leave them somewhere abandoned. There are so many lonely souls out there who are craving love!!!!! Mine are ALL rescued of course and why dont people DONT spay????? No respect of animals….I am an animal Activist!!

We have 1 dog called ‘Suggs’, a border collie springer spaniel cross. Mad in the head, full of energy and a loyal companion. He was going to be called ‘Madness’ but my husband and I compromised on Suggs. My ideal pet would be a Newfoundland dog but unfortunately we don’t have the space (or the money) and probably never will.

2 sheep dogs, a cat, numerous fish, and an aviary full of budgies,cockatiels and finch’s , we run a bird rescue center and take in unwanted budgies etc for free, then we either re-home them or let them live out their lives in comfort with the rest of the flock.

We’ve got a gorgeous four month old kitten, named Luna.

i have a pot bellied pig, a dog and two cats. they all get along great. i love my pets they are all part of the family.

3 rats, all female. they have great little personalities

Always wanted to get a dog, still do, but out of the house 10-11 hours a day simply not fair on the animal.

I love animals, have 60+ fish and a few corals, would love to have a dog, but work during the day and no back garden, so it’s not really suitable.

3 lovely cats 10-5 & 2yrs old- all rescues. Had 2 beautiful dogs 4 16yrs sadly passed on both rescues.

I have four dogs, seven cats and one hamster. All mine but so many due to my involvement with the local SPCA.

Dogs look up to u ,cats look down on u and pigs treat u as their equals ,not quite the quote but churchills view. One dog 2hens .they get on well .

We have two dogs and a cat so unfortunatelly we can’t adopt but we help DSPCA by fostering I know it doesn’t help in the long term but that’s all we can do

Three lovely cats that we brought here with us from Poland (all foundlings). The oldest is ten, the youngest is now eight and, of course, they trained us very well.

(Do not complain about the DSPCA fees; we had to vaccinate the cats against rabies and then fly them using a certified airline; at least the quarantine regulations have been relaxed and there’s no longer the requirement for six-month-long quarantine after bringing the pet from another EU country).

King Charles called Oscar great man for walking off pints

3 rescue dogs , 2 guinea pigs and a kitten

2 beautiful rescue cats

1 dog

Have ourselves a budgie :-)

I have three dogs and one cat. Two dogs rescue dogs and the cat also. Bit of a problem though male cat called Missy due to my misinterpretation of its sex but he/she/it knew its name as Missy but so far, no counselling needed.

4 dogs (2 rescued) and 3 stray cats. Would take more rescue dogs if I had enough space for them. Need to move house!

Two fab saint Bernard’s that rule the house.. Wouldn’t change them for the world!

Hi I have a golden cocker spaniel called romeo he’s 7, he likes walkies eating vegetables chasing cats when He gets the chance

We have a bichom frise, Cloud, he;s almost 2 yrs and a complete dote and a tortoise, Freya she’s 20 but new to our family and settled in straight away. Cloud has to be watched when she;s out of her tank!

I have a completely nuts hamster called Isabella. Wouldn’t change her for the world. I really want to get a pair of rats though…

I have a dog and cat at home.

3 dogs, 8 cats and a donkey!!

One snake
One cat.

We have two dogs a Labrador and a Yorkie and 1 rabbit and we love them all , they are very much a part of our family.

i have 2 arouns 5 month old rescue puppies (female) they are sisters (not that you’d realise to look at them) i got one first called her luckii, a few weeks later discovered there was one puppy left from the litter(sox), so we just had to get her too…kids have a puppy each so they are delighted, glad that we are now in a position to have dogs, the kids have 4 goldfish too, but they dont hold the same affection as their dogs x

My daughter has a goldfish but wouldn’t keep anything larger. Too many dogs in our park for me to get a cat and not enough room in the garden for a dog.

One Westie (pedigree, dont you know!), now 12, going on 2, and a rescue moggie, they love each other. Can always tell where the dog is because the cat will be in a tree watching him.

I have two Irish wolfhounds, rose and honey. Rose had eight puppies two months ago. All for sale while we’re on the subject. Fully vaccinated. Wormed. Micro chipped, and kennel club registered. Also have a Jack Russell called zap brannigan

I have two jack Russell terriers ozzy and Toby and two bearded dragons called bevis and buthead ;0)

Two dogs, two goldfish and two children!

Spongebob spaniel, Jethro bordercollie, Darcey notailed cat(owes me over hundred euro vets fees which Im unlikely to see), Stripey the sociopathic cat(cheap to feed as she’s killed every rodent within 5 miles) and Frasier and Niles kittens. Frasier going to a new home today, Limerick not Seattle.

Three dogs, one of whom is a rescue who is just he most amazing dog. Rescue animals are so loving.

1 dog, 2 cats and currently fostering 3 kittens for Galway Cat Rescue until permanent homes are found for them. All of them are outside all day long and sleep in the garage, they come in to the house to visit only. Outdoor cats like this are particularly easy to care for – just feed and water them daily and worm them every 3 months.

I’ve got a problem with the word ‘pet’. I’ve got 24 chickens, 3 cats (2 rescued), 2 ponies (1 rescued), 1 horse (rescued, turned out to be a thoroughbred and is now in foal) and 2 dogs (1 rescued). Out of these, I only regard 3 animals as companion animals. The rest are all either livestock or working animals. I find the word ‘pet’ to be demeaning to a sentient animal. So, for the, ‘Oh, how tiresomely PC’ brigade – the little red thumb is to the right as you look at the page.

I have a beautiful (much admired) “mixed breed pedigree” who was a rescue dog almost 11 years ago & he is a fantastic companion. Toby is also wonderful with my children & he was around 5 years before them, not bad for a terrier! If anyone is considering getting a dog please, please choose a rescue dog, you won’t regret it, they have so much love to give & are often much healthier than pedigrees….

2 cats and a dog!

Have 2 dogs spot and sally. Denise your bang on! I don’t understand why the vet fees for the D.S.P.C.A are soooo expensive its madness! Do they use outsourced vets or what and paying full wack for it? Silly if they do! They should be bringing in trainee vets to do all their work for nothing therefore only having to pay for the drugs used! Cheaper and educational and doing it for the love of animals not a fat paycheck like alot of vets these days! Don’t get me wrong alot of good ones out there too that do it for the love of animals but not enough!

I used to have a yorkie but she passed away 3 years ago i would love another one but i find the cost of the D.S.P.C.A a bit expensive i know we have to pay for the cost of the mirco chips and spaying of the animals but i still find it a bit expensive otherwise i would take one home for me and my family :)

I have loads of pets.

I had in excess of 50 at one point, but thankfully many people took them off our hands and the rest have subsequently died.

It’s not as bad as it sounds, really.

Why don’t they euthanise these animals and before anyone has a go at me for being cruel. We kill tens of thousands of a animals each day in Ireland.

I really don’t understand the need to have a dirty animal in your life. If you voluntarily put yourself in a position of having to clean up shit then you have a problem. As for the people who let these animals into their houses and do the whole doggy kissing thing etc., they should be committed. Don’t get me wrong I understand their cuteness/companion appeal but for me the payback wouldn’t be worth all the effort.

P.s. When I say “He’s a cute dog” don’t get offended and snap “She’s a girl!”. I’m only trying to be nice and I don’t care what sex your dog is.
