Adopt Bob

Dachshund · Male · Senior · 9 years

09-05-26 Bob has come to us from a breeder and is now beginning his search for a loving retirement home. He is a very sweet boy who is happy to come up to you to say hello and already loves fuss and attention once he knows you, although he's still a little shy to find himself here. Bob will be looking for a calm and quiet home where he can settle in at his own pace. Having never lived in a home before, he will need kind and understanding adopters who can help him settle in to home life and learn new skills like house training. He is starting to learn all about walking on a lead and harness, but this is still very new to him. Bob loves other dogs and will need another kind and confident resident dog in his new home to help show him the way and give him the confidence he needs as he adjusts to his new life. We would consider homing him with dog savvy, gentle teenagers or older children. On arrival our vets noted that he has no back paws, but this doesn't seem to bother him and definitely doesn't seem to slow him down. Bob is a sweet boy who is ready to start his new chapter, and we can’t wait to see him blossom in a loving forever home. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a senior dachshund dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Bob, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bob?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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 Bob on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bob if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Many Tears Animal Rescue will tell you what they need (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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bob already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bob isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Many Tears Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bob 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
