Dutch

Male · Adult · 4 years

30-05-26 Dutch is an incredible boy who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a fresh start. He is a lovely, affectionate boy who enjoys a fuss and will happily take treats from us. Dutch would be happy to be homed as an only dog as long as his adopters were around most of the time and had plenty of time to spend with him. We would also consider homing him with a medium or large female dog, but we wouldn't home him with any small or male dogs. He would be well suited to a home with adopters who have experience with the breed or similar breeds. As Dutch has never lived in a home before, he will need to learn all about house training and the other basics of home life. With patience and guidance, we think he will adapt well and enjoy all the comforts a home has to offer. Dutch can already walk well on a lead, though he can be a little reactive when passing other kennels, this is understandable in a busy rescue environment, but may be something his adopters will need to work with him on. He is an energetic and incredibly lovely bo who ie is happy-go-lucky in nature and is more than ready to start adventuring with his new adopters. He would love an active home where he can enjoy plenty of walks, enrichment, and quality time with his people. Dutch could share his home with older, dog-savvy teenagers who can appreciate and understand that he will need a gentle and quiet introduction to the home, along with his own space to settle in. He is a bright, affectionate, and fun-loving boy who is sure to make a wonderful and loyal companion for a lucky family. Dutch has a passport and travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Dutch

What life with Dutch looks like

Dutch is a 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.

🇬🇧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 Dutch, answered.

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