Jinx

Male · Young · 1 year

22-09-26 Jinx is an exceptionally frightened boy who has come into our care from a breeder. He will do all he can to run away and hide from us, and it is heartbreaking to witness just how scared he is. Despite his trust issues, he has allowed a small amount of fuss, although he remains very wary and unsure of our intentions. He will need lots of time, patience and gentle handling while he learns that he is safe. Because of this, Jinx will need another kind and confident dog in his new home, and this dog will be a much-needed support system for him as he begins to settle and gain some confidence. We have not yet cat tested Jinx, but given what we have seen from him so far, it is unlikely that he would be suitable to share a home with cats. As Jinx has never lived in a home before, he will need to learn all about house training, lead training and the other basics of home life. He will need a quiet, experienced home with adopters who understand ex-breeding dogs and are prepared to be very patient with him. Due to his nervous nature, Jinx is currently a flight risk and will need a very secure garden with boundaries of at least 6ft. He is also being muzzle trained to help keep him safe while he learns to cope with the world around him. Jinx has arrived with a sore eye, so we are keeping on top of cleaning it and making sure he is comfortable while we assess this further. Jinx has a long way to go, but the fact that he has already allowed a little fuss shows that there is a gentle side beneath all those worries. We hope that with the right canine companion, experienced adopters and lots of patience, he will slowly learn to trust and discover the safe and loving life he deserves. Jinx has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Jinx

What life with Jinx looks like

Jinx is a small young adult 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 Jinx, answered.

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