Frankie

Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

06-08-26 Frankie is a shy boy who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a new start. He has a gentle nature and, although he is a little unsure at the moment, he will happily accept a gentle fuss and some attention. Frankie is still learning that people can be trusted, so he will need a patient family who will allow him to build his confidence at his own pace. Frankie gets on wonderfully with his kennel friends and relies on their company for comfort, so he will need a kind resident dog in his new home to help guide him and give him the reassurance he needs as he settles in and finds his paws. He will need a home that has experience with ex-breeders, and an extra secure garden to keep him safe as he continues to settle. As Frankie has never lived in a home before, he will need to learn all about house training and the other basics of home life. His new family will need to give him plenty of time and encouragement as he adjusts to his new surroundings. He is new to lead walking, but would love to continue this training in his new home once he has settled, so that he can go on plenty of adventures. Frankie could share his home with older, dog-savvy teens, aged 16+ who can appreciate and understand that he will need a gentle, quiet introduction to the home and his own space while he settles in. Frankie is a lovely boy with so much potential. With a calm, understanding family and a confident canine companion by his side, we hope he will continue to grow in confidence and enjoy everything that a loving home has to offer. He has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Frankie

What life with Frankie looks like

Frankie 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 Frankie, answered.

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