Disco

Maltese · Female · Adult · 4 years

17-07-26 Disco is a sweet girl who has come into our care from a breeder. She really enjoys the company of other dogs and loves playing with her kennel friends and takes a lot of comfort from being around them. Disco is easy to handle and will happily approach us, although she is still a little timid while she gets to know people. Although she looks very Maltese she is a bigger girl at 9.2kg. She will be looking for a calm and quiet home, where she can settle in at her own pace and learn all about life as a cherished family member. We would consider homing her with gentle, dog savvy teenagers. Disco gets on wonderfully with her kennel friends and relies on their company for comfort, so she will need a kind resident dog in her new home to help guide her and give her the reassurance she needs as she settles in and finds her paws. As Disco has never lived in a home before, she will need to learn all about house training, walking on a lead and harness, and the other basics of home life. Her new family will need to be patient and allow her to settle at her own pace. Disco is a gentle little girl with a playful side that shines through when she's with her doggy friends. With a patient family and a kind canine companion, we hope she will continue to grow in confidence and enjoy everything her new life has to offer. Disco has received treatment for conjunctivitis and has had one tooth extracted at the time of her spay. She has had a cyst drained from the top of her head, which our vets will continue to monitor. She also came to us with a fluid-filled swelling on the side of her neck/chest area, which our vets diagnosed as a sialocele. This occurs when a salivary gland becomes damaged, allowing saliva to leak into the surrounding tissue, where it collects and forms a soft, usually painless, pocket of fluid. Our vets have drained this, however, it is likely to gradually refill over the coming weeks or months and would need to be drained again if this happens. The only permanent treatment is surgery to remove the affected salivary gland, which would need to be carried out by a specialist. Disco's adopters would need to be aware that any vet treatment surrounding this would not be coverable by insurance as it's pre-existing. She has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Disco

What life with Disco looks like

Disco is a adult maltese 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 Disco, answered.

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