Forrest

Collie · Male · Young · 1 year

06-08-26 Forrest is a shy little boy who has come to us from a breeder. He is beginning to enjoy a gentle fuss once he has had a little time to settle and learn that people can be kind. He takes great comfort from his kennel friends and will happily follow them around, looking to them for reassurance. Forrest can live with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16+ who understand that he will need time, patience and space to settle into his new surroundings. He will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in his new home that he can lean on as he continues to build his confidence. As Forrest has never lived in a home before, his adopters will need to be patient while he learns all about house training and the routines of family life. He is likely to find lead walking new and unfamiliar, so this should be introduced at his own pace, with plenty of time to enjoy garden sniffs while he settles in. Forrest's adopters will need to have experience with ex-breeding dogs and provide him with an extra secure garden to ensure his safety while he gains confidence. Forrest is a lovely boy who simply needs plenty of TLC, understanding and a loving home. With time and patience, we're sure he will continue to blossom and find his paws. Forrest has a travel document This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Forrest

What life with Forrest looks like

Forrest is a young adult collie dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli.

An young 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 Forrest, answered.

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