Jerry

Collie · Male · Young · 3 years

10-04-26 Jerry is a lovely boy who originally came to us from a breeder a few years ago and went on to find a wonderful forever home. Sadly, through no fault of his own, he has now returned to our care due to his adopters ill health. Jerry is a Collie lover’s dream! He is affectionate, clever and eager to be part of the family. He is house trained, walks nicely on the lead and we are told that he has good recall too. He is a very smart boy who already knows a range of commands including sit, wait, off, drop and leave, and would thrive in an active home where he can be kept both mentally and physically stimulated. Jerry would like to be the only dog in his forever hoem. He would be best suited to an adult only home and would benefit from adopters with collie and rescue dog experience. He would love a rural home, as he can be sensitive to certain sounds and so homes in busier areas wouldn't be suitable for him. He would really benefit from adopters who are around for much of the day and have plenty of time to spend with him Jerry does show some signs of separation anxiety, so his new family will need to continue building up the time he is left gradually. We are told that he is happy being left for short periods but will need patience and understanding while he settles. He isn’t keen on car travel, and he can be sensitive to sounds and may react to sounds such as fizzy drink cans or bottles opening, sneezing, coughing, nose blowing, printers, hoovers, microwaves, lorry reversing beeps, motorbike revving, army range noise and fireworks. He will bark towards you but with reassurance he settles quickly. He has never bitten and is just worried but his new owners will need to continue noise desensitization training in the home. It may never be something he entirely overcomes. Jerry has settled back into the rescue well and is a wonderful boy who is already enjoying snuggles and really loves to play! He is a truly special boy who has so much love to give and is ready to find a calm, understanding home to call his own once again. He has had a wound on his right paw that has caused a limp, which has since healed and he is no longer showing signs of limping. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Jerry

What life with Jerry looks like

Jerry 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 Jerry, answered.

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