Two puppies have been seized in Dublin Port, Revenue have said.
On Wednesday, Revenue officers seized two eight-week-old chihuahua cross puppies when they stopped and questioned a man who was travelling to the UK.
The man did not have pet passports for the dogs. The dogs were not microchipped as required under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013.
The eight week old puppies were transferred into the care of the DSPCA where they are now receiving veterinary attention.
