Faith

Collie · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Faith is a beautiful girl who came to us from a breeder and was initially incredibly shut down and terrified of people. She would run away from any human interaction and wouldn't even eat when people were around. However, over the last two months, Faith has made some wonderful progress and is slowly learning that people can be kind. She now walks on a harness, although she can still be easily spooked, and is happiest walking with people she knows and trusts. She will now take treats from us in her kennel, and sometimes on walks when things are quiet, with hot dogs being a particular favourite! Recently, she even allowed a little gentle fuss in the big play yard, choosing to stay for affection rather than run away. This may seem like a small step, but for Faith, it is a huge achievement. Faith absolutely adores other dogs and truly comes alive when joining her friends for playtime in our big yard. She approaches them with a full-body wiggle and has even discovered how much fun toys can be, although she cannot be left unsupervised with soft toys! She will need a kind and confident resident dog in her new home to help her continue building her confidence and show her the ropes of home life. As a Collie, she will also need plenty of enrichment and exercise to keep her busy once she has settled in. Faith is still a very nervous girl who will need an adult-only home with Collie experience, where her progress will be celebrated and she can continue learning at her own pace. She has never lived in a home before, so she will need patient adopters who can help her with house training, lead walking and all the other new experiences that come with family life. She will also need an extra-secure garden of at least 6ft to keep her safe as she settles in. Faith really is such a sweet girl who tries her very hardest to be brave. Although she is making lovely progress with us, kennels is no place for a puppy to spend these important months of her life. Her three Collie friends who arrived with her have all found their forever homes, and now it is Faith's turn to find someone who can see just how far she has come and how much potential she has. With time, patience and lots of love, we know this special girl has so much more to discover, and we desperately hope her forever family won't keep her waiting much longer. She has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Faith

What life with Faith looks like

Faith is an extra-large puppy collie dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Faith, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Faith?: 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 Faith on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Faith 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Faith 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 Faith 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 Faith 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.
