Emrys

Collie · Male · Adult · 4 years

Emrys is such a wonderful boy. He’s currently living in a foster home where has been for a year now and has absolutely flourished with them. He originally came to us from a farm so had very little in the way of training and socialising. This meant he could find new people worrying and during a short adoption of just a few months, he struggled to get used to a male visitor and would react towards him and redirected onto another person while stressed. He was returned to his foster home following this and hasn’t put a paw out of place since. In foster, Emrys does very well, he absolutely adores his three collie best friends and we think he would thrive in a home with a resident dog to keep him company. We would consider an experienced home adopting him as an only dog however he loves having doggy friends so would need regular playdates. Unfortunately Emrys cannot live with cats. He is looking for a collie and rescue experienced home to help him thrive. He absolutely loves his walks and as he is such a clever lad, he will need brain games to wear out his mind too! If an active home is looking for a dog to join in on a sport like agility, we are sure he would do well! Once Emrys trusts you, he is a wonderful companion and after an exciting walk where he gets to play with his friends, he does really enjoy a cuddle and a snooze on the couch. He is looking for a quiet, adult only home who understands collie behaviour, especially collies bred to work. When introduced to people with plenty of space to move away if he gets worried, he makes friends quickly. His amazing foster home have done so well in bringing out his silly, confident side and absolutely love his quirks. He is such a brilliant boy and has been waiting very patiently for his forever family. Emrys has a fatty lump on the right flank that does not pose as an issue and is being monitored. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Emrys

What life with Emrys looks like

Emrys is a medium-sized adult collie 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.

Note from the shelter: History of reactivity to strangers, requires experienced handler and careful management

🇬🇧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 Emrys, answered.

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