How do I contact the shelter about Criss Cross?

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 Criss Cross on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Criss Cross 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 Criss Cross 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 Criss Cross 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 Criss Cross 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.

Criss Cross

Male · Adult · 5 years

Meet Criss Cross, a big-hearted, sensitive lad who has come to us from a breeder and is slowly learning to find his confidence in the world. When Criss Cross arrived as a worried soul, needing extra patience, understanding, and gentle care. He had very little formal handling in his past, and early on could be grumbly or anxious when unsure. He required slow, careful introductions to people, places, and experiences while he started to understand his new surroundings. While Criss Cross can still be a little shy when meeting new people, once he feels comfortable his affectionate side really shines through. He actively seeks out fuss and cuddles and has become quite the cuddle bug, often trying to return kisses to the people he trusts. He is learning his manners well and responds nicely to calm, consistent guidance. Criss Cross is growing in confidence with his harness training and now enjoys daily walks beyond the rescue. He has even started greeting some people on his walks for a hello and perhaps a treat or a fuss. He can still feel a little unsure if people are behind him, but gentle encouragement and reassurance help him relax and continue exploring the world around him. He has also started learning about kennel cleanliness, with staff helping him practice good toilet habits to make the transition into a home life easier for him in the future. When enjoying some quiet time on his own, Criss Cross loves exploring his toy collection, especially anything involving treats or food puzzles. Criss Cross would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can fully relax and enjoy all the attention for himself. He will need a calm, adult-only home with experienced adopters who can continue helping him build confidence at his own pace. He also appreciates having a quiet space at mealtimes where he feels safe and secure. Criss Cross will need a home without cats as he is overly interested in them. Criss Cross is a truly gorgeous, sweet-natured gentle giant with so much love to give. With patience, understanding, endless bum scratches and plenty of tasty treats, he has every chance to flourish into the loyal and devoted companion he is meant to be.

About Criss Cross

What life with Criss Cross looks like

Criss Cross is a extra-large adult 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Weepy eye under veterinary treatment, requires slow introductions and patience

🇬🇧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.
