How do I contact the shelter about Jonah?

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 Jonah on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jonah 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 Jonah 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 Jonah 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 Jonah 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.

Jonah

Dachshund · Male · Adult · 5 years

Jonah is a very nervous boy who has come to us from a breeder and is in need of lots of kindness and TLC. When he first arrived with us, he was very overwhelmed and was extremely worried about being handled. He required gentle handling and a slow and gentle approach as if pushed out of his comfort zone he may have panicked and chosen to make the wrong decision purely out of fear. However, since then he has started to settle in so well and is becoming such a brave little boy. He will now come you greet you and see if you have any tasty treats for him and will even enjoy a gentle tickle once he gets to know you. He will now happily greet his kennel mummy in the morning with a big waggy tail and offers her lots and lots of kisses and will even allow her to gently fuss him. The progress he's making is truly wonderful and it's allowing us to see glimpses of the real him and we think he will absolutely thrive in the right home. He loves toys and food which has been a big help in building a bond with him and earning his trust. Jonah will be best suited to a calm and quiet, adult only home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will allow him to settle in at his own pace without any expectations. He absolutely loves his kennel friends and can often be found snuggled up in bed with them and clearly gets comfort and reassurance from their company. He also loves to play with his friends, which is just so lovely to see. It is essential that Jonah has at least one kind, confident resident dog in his new home. A canine companion will help him feel secure and give him someone to look to as he gains confidence and begins to embrace home life. He has never lived in a home before so his adopters will need to be kind and understanding as he settles in to his new life and learns all about home life and new skills like house training. At the moment, he is so worried that learning to walk on a lead is likely to take time, and initially, spending time exploring a secure garden and building his confidence may be the best place to start. He has started learning all about wearing a harness to get used to the feel of this on his body and the next steps will be to introduce a lead. Jonah is an incredibly sensitive soul who simply hasn't had the chance to experience the love and security every dog deserves. With patience, understanding, and a family willing to let him progress at his own pace, we believe he has every chance of learning to trust and becoming a wonderfully loyal companion. Jonah has arrived to us extremely underweight, with some hair loss and what seems to be old cuts on his ears as well as some dermatitis, which is being treated. This boy needs plenty of TLC as he continues to grow. Jonah has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Jonah

What life with Jonah looks like

Jonah 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.
