The dogs are not microchipped.
Gardaí in Tipperary have appealed for owners of suspected stolen dogs to get in contact with them.
Gardaí are trying to trace the owners of three non-microchipped dogs after detectives from Carrick-On-Suir seized them on Saturday morning.
The owners are being asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station on 052-6177640.
Gardaí have also urged dog owners to ensure that their pets are microchipped, saying: “It’s the law, and makes them easy to identify.”
They also urged people to keep their dogs in sight, and specifically not to leave your dogs tied outside a shop as it “creates an ideal opportunity for thieves”.
Finally, they said that you should always buy dogs from a trusted source, and to think about CCTV to help keep your dog safe at home.
