Adopt Foster

Poodle · Female · Adult · 4 years

Foster is a very gentle and incredibly sweet girl who has come to us from a breeder. Foster arrived with limited experience of the world and people, and while she is still a timid soul, she is making steady and encouraging progress during her time with us. Foster is becoming more comfortable with handling and is starting to approach people with quiet curiosity. Although she isn’t quite ready to ask for fuss yet, she will happily observe nearby with her tail low and relaxed, showing how her confidence is slowly growing. She is a calm, affectionate girl at heart who just needs time and reassurance to fully come out of her shell. Foster takes great comfort from the company of other dogs and would need a home with at least one kind, confident resident dog to guide her and help her feel safe. Due to her sensitive and nervous nature, she will need a calm home with patient adopters who are happy to let her progress at her own pace. She could share her home with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over who can appreciate and understand that she will need a gentle, quiet introduction to the home and her own space to settle in. As she has never lived in a home before, Foster will need understanding as she learns about everyday life, including house training and walking on a lead. Gentle introductions, starting with quiet garden time and short, positive experiences, will help her build confidence and trust. However, she has began harness training with her kennel parents, and is taking things slow but is building her confidence daily! Foster previously had a wound on her back leg which caused some soreness; this is being monitored and is expected to heal with time. With love, patience, and the right guidance, Foster has the potential to truly flourish in a home environment. She is a quiet, sweet-natured girl who will become a loyal and devoted companion to a family willing to give her the time she needs. She arrived with a wound on her leg that does not seem to be bothering her, and has been treated. She is currently being treated for Conjuctivitis in her left eye. Foster has a PETs travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Foster

What life with Foster looks like

Foster is a medium-sized adult poodle 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: Previous leg wound being monitored, needs confidence building and house training

🇬🇧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 Foster, answered.

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