Gardaí Anxious To Return Safely 3 Dogs To Owners.

Gardaí have detained, what they believe are stolen dogs (All Terriers) in South Co. Tipperary.

The Gardaí are now presently trying to trace the real owners of 3 dogs, after Detectives from Carrick-On-Suir seized the animals yesterday morning, Saturday November 7th, 2020.

At around 8.30am, Gardaí saw three men placing the 3 dogs into the boot of a car, before driving off at speed. The car was later stopped in the Ballyclerahan area of Clonmel before being searched.

Gardaí were not fully satisfied that the men were the true owners of the dogs, as the men could not provide any documentation proving their right to possession.

The animals seized were then taken to the vet, but all three, when scanned, were discovered to have no identifying microchips.

Gardaí are now appealing for the assistance of the public in locating the possible owners of these three animals; same identified as two Patterdale Terriers and a Wire Haired Terrier.

Owners are asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station on Tel: 052-6177640.
