Adopt Eric

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Adopt Eric!Eric is a loving and affectionate 6 year old male dog for adoption, who is looking for his very own safe haven with a loving family where he can feel secure and cherished. Eric adores people and simply craves cuddles and affection. He has a timid nature, so can be uncertain on walks, needing some help with confidence building as he often seeks reassurance, yet he loves his walks in the countryside with his brother Ernie who he relies on for confidence – with further patient guidance and understanding from his new family, he will easily blossom into the vibrant, gregarious spirit he’s meant to be! This kind and incredibly joyful little boy brims with affection and loyalty, he walks nicely on the lead, is great meeting people and dogs out on his walks, and with his love of people he has great recall, although with his timid nature, he can be easily startled, so off-lead walks should be limited to very safe, quiet places, close to home, that he has already got to know very well over a period of time. Eric is a sweet, gentle soul, whose heart is full of love, so can suit living with dog savvy kids. He needs a home in a peaceful setting away from busy towns or cities with access to a garden and would enjoy company for most of the day. Eric becomes much more confident when he is with another dog, as on his own he finds it difficult to cope outside of his safe surroundings, so a home with another dog is a must for Eric, either his new family will have an existing resident dog, or they adopt Eric together with his brother. In summary, Eric is a really adorable, good natured dog, who, with just a little bit of nurturing, will absolutely flourish with a new loving family. Background All of our dogs have lived their whole lives in family groups in an open space, kennel free environment and it is therefore a shock for them to leave all that they know. For this reason, we require Eric’s new family to either have an existing resident dog if introductions go well, or adopt Eric together with another dog.

Enquire NowHolistic Rawfeeding Rescue We are a holistic rawfeeding rescue, so as with all our rescue dogs and puppies for adoption, Eric is being fed a natural raw diet and is currently being fed Paleo Ridge for improved health and longevity. As a rawfeeding rescue, we ask that this diet is continued in her new home as he loves it so much! We provide full advice and support as standard for anyone who is new to rawfeeding dogs or holistic priniciples. Homecheck by your chosen dog applies to see if he likes his new home! Our Dog Adoption process involves several visits to get to know your dog, and for your dog to get to know you, so that the rehoming is not a shock away from all that she knows and is simply a natural transition to his new family. We find that this helps our rescue dogs to settle into their new home with less stress and anxiety and makes for much more successful adoptions. For this reason, we only rehome within travelling distance of our base in West Wales at the moment. Full lifetime rescue backup and adoption contract applies, so if for any reason our dog is not suitable or circumstances change, we require the dog to be returned to us. ** We are just a very small team here in the UK, so we currently prioritize adopters within travelling distance of our base in West Wales, due to the practicalities of journey times for post-adoption back-up and support from our sanctuary. We apologize if this leads to disappointment, however we have found through experience that more local dog adoptions do not overstretch our limited resources. Thank you for your understanding!

About Eric

What life with Eric looks like

Eric is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at K9 Rescue in Crymych.

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 Eric, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eric?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. K9 Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eric on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eric if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — K9 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 Eric 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 Eric 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 K9 Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eric 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.
