Bee

Bichon Frisé · Female · Adult · 5 years

Bee is a gentle, shy little lady who has come into our care from a breeder. She is still a timid girl who can find the world around her a little overwhelming, but she has been making some lovely progress since arriving with us and is really trying hard to be brave. Bee can be handled and picked up as long as you take things slowly and carefully. She is beginning to show us that she wants to build a bond with people, and she has started getting very excited to see her favourite people in the mornings, running over to say hello and even giving little kisses on their fingers! She is still a little unsure about accepting fusses, but we think she is getting closer to letting her guard down and learning that human attention can be a lovely thing. Bee has always lived with the company of other dogs and gets on wonderfully with her kennel friends. She relies on their company for comfort and reassurance, so she will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in her new home who she can learn from, follow and look to as she settles into home life. We think having a friendly dog or two around will really help her find her confidence and make the transition into a home much easier. Bee has never lived in a home before, so there is still lots for her to learn. She has recently had her first little introduction to wearing a harness and did brilliantly! Although she only managed a few steps, she was happy to have a sniff around, take some treats and explore without becoming overwhelmed. We will continue building on this little by little, and her adopters will need to be patient as she learns about lead walking, house training and all the other things that come with home life. Bee will be looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with worried ex-breeding dogs and understand that she will need time to settle and gain confidence at her own pace. We think she will really benefit from being away from the busy kennel environment and having the chance to learn about life in a quieter setting. She can live with sensible teenagers who understand that she will need to be given space and allowed to settle without pressure. Bee is such a little sweetheart, and it is lovely to see her starting to show us the happy little girl hiding underneath all those worries. She is trying so hard to be brave, and we think she has so much potential to blossom in the right home. With an experienced ex-breeding dog home, kind canine companions to guide her and plenty of love and reassurance, we are sure Bee will make a wonderful addition to the family. Please don't keep this lovely girl waiting any longer for her chance at home life! This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Bee

What life with Bee looks like

Bee is an adult bichon frisé dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bee, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bee?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Many Tears Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bee on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bee if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Many Tears Animal Rescue whether they will for Bee, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bee already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Many Tears Animal Rescue lists Bee as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Many Tears Animal Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bee isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Many Tears Animal Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bee and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
