Tummy

Dachshund · Female · Adult · 5 years

11-10-26 Tummy is a lovely lady who originally came to us from a breeder and was later adopted into a home. Sadly, she has returned to our care after around 5 months as she wasn't getting along with the resident dog, so she is now looking for a home where she can be the only dog and have all of her family's attention to herself. She also cannot live with cats or small furries. Tummy is a sweet and outgoing girl with a big personality! She loves toys and having a good play, but she also enjoys a quiet fuss and relaxing alongside her people. She has lived in a home before, so she may already know some of the basics such as house training, although she may need a few gentle reminders as she settles back into home life. Tummy would do best with a family who has experience with Dachshunds and understands their wonderful but sometimes strong personalities, although she could also live with a sensible family who are willing to learn and understand her needs. She can live with dog-savvy teenagers aged 13+ who are sensible and will give her the time and space she needs to settle into her new home. Tummy has never been left home alone before and so this is something her adopters will need to build up gradually with her to ensure she doesn't develop separation anxiety. Tummy is an amazing little lady who has already had a change of home and is now ready to find her forever family. We hope that the right home will give her the love, attention and stability she deserves. Tummy has previously been treated for ear infections and also has some hair loss that seemed to begin to grow back when she was in her previous home. She has a history of bladder stones and is currently on a specific diet to help with this, and this will need to be continued in the home. This will need to be monitored by her new vets and her adopters will need to be aware that should she require any treatment or potential surgery in the future it would not be covered by insurance. She has a travel document.

About Tummy

What life with Tummy looks like

Tummy is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Tummy, answered.

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