Clippa

Female · Senior · 9 years

Clippa is a wonderful girl who came to us from a breeder in search of a fresh start. From the moment she arrived, she showed us what a loving and affectionate little girl she is. Whilst in our care at the rescue, Clippa quickly became a favourite with staff and volunteers thanks to her happy nature and love of human attention. She adored going out on walks with volunteers, loved exploring the Welsh countryside and was always happiest when she was close to people getting cuddles and fuss. She also got on brilliantly with her kennel friends and enjoyed the company of other dogs. She has now moved to a foster home where she has continued to blossom and has settled beautifully into home life. On arrival, she immediately made it her mission to explore every single inch of the garden, showing just how adventurous and inquisitive she is! Because of this, she will need a very secure garden with minimum 6ft fencing as she is an active little spaniel who loves to investigate everything around her. Clippa is an incredibly affectionate and people orientated dog who absolutely adores human company. Visitors are instantly greeted by Clippa demanding cuddles, belly rubs and attention, and she will happily snuggle into you whenever given the opportunity. Although she enjoys playing with polite dogs and gets on wonderfully with the resident dogs in foster, people will always be her favourite. She has taken to home life brilliantly and despite having never lived in a home before, she has been clean around the house, with no accidents indoors. She settles beautifully overnight and loves curling up somewhere warm and cosy with her foster family. In fact, she gets so comfortable at bedtime that convincing her to go outside for her final toilet trip can sometimes be a challenge! Clippa absolutely LOVES her walks and thrives on getting out and exploring the world around her. She would love an active home that understands the busy, intelligent and inquisitive nature of spaniels and can provide her with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. She already walks well on lead most of the time, although she can sometimes be strong and excitable when out and about. At the moment, her recall is non-existent in secure fields as she is far too busy exploring to pay attention, so her adopters will need to be committed to continuing her training with this. She could happily be homed as an only dog as long as her adopters were around most of the time and had plenty of time to spend with her, but she could also be homed with another kind and playful resident dog. She could live with gentle dog savvy teenagers but cannot live with cats or small furries. Since arriving in foster, Clippa has shown signs of separation anxiety and struggles being away from her people even for short periods. Her fosterers are already working hard on building her confidence and independence, and her future adopters will need to continue this, gradually building up the time she is left. Clippa arrived in our care with bilateral conjunctivitis which responded very well to treatment and continues to be monitored. She also had one tooth removed at the time of her spay. Clippa is such a happy, loving and affectionate little girl who has embraced her new life with enthusiasm. Whether she is out exploring, making new friends, or snuggled up for cuddles, she throws herself wholeheartedly into everything she does. We think she will make an absolutely wonderful companion for a very lucky family. She has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Clippa

What life with Clippa looks like

Clippa is a small senior 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 Clippa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Clippa?
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 Clippa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Clippa 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 Clippa 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 Clippa 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 Clippa 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.
