Ffion

Dachshund · Female · Adult · 7 years

07-11-26 Ffion has come to us from a home through no fault of her own, as sadly her owner became too unwell to continue caring for her. It is clear that Ffion has been very much loved and cherished, and we are hoping to find her another special home where she can enjoy all the comforts and love she deserves and is used to. Ffion is a shy and gentle girl who can be a little worried when meeting new people and may initially choose to hide away. However, once she gets to know you, she absolutely loves a cuddle! She is sensitive to loud noises, so she will be looking for a calm and understanding home where she can feel safe and settle in at her own pace. Ffion would be happy to be homed as an only dog in the right circumstances as long as her adopters were around most of the time and had plenty of time to spend with her. She loves to snuggle with her kennel friend and would be happy to share her home with another kind and gentle dog. She gets along well with other dogs, but she can become overwhelmed when there are lots of dogs around, so would prefer to share her home with just one other. We are told that she has lived with cats before, and we would consider a home with dog-savvy children. Ffion is said to be house trained, although she may occasionally have an accident overnight. She is used to having a dog flap to let herself in and out, so may need a little help and gentle reminders as she adjusts to a new routine. She is unable to manage stairs and will need to be carried up and down them. She is also used to having a little ramp to help her get on and off the sofa. Ffion walks nicely on her lead and will enjoy getting out for some lovely little adventures with her new family. We are told that one of Ffion's favourite things in the world is playing with balls, particularly Kong extra small tennis balls! She likes to have one close by at all times, and they seem to bring her lots of comfort, so her new family will need to make sure she always has a little ball to call her own. Ffion is a very sweet girl who has clearly known love, and we would love to see her find another special someone who will give her the time, patience and affection she needs. In return, she has plenty of cuddles and companionship to offer and is ready to enjoy being someone's much-loved little girl again. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Ffion

What life with Ffion looks like

Ffion is a small adult dachshund 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 Ffion, answered.

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