Adopt Kiki

German Shorthaired Pointer · Female · Adult · 4 years

06-06-26 Kiki is a beautiful girl who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a new start. When Kiki first arrived, she spent her first couple of days quietly staying at the back of her kennel and was understandably overwhelmed and unsure. Since then, she has begun to gain confidence, particularly after being introduced to a confident canine companion. Having another dog around has really helped her feel more secure, and she is now happy to be approached and enjoys a gentle fuss, although she remains a shy girl at heart. Kiki will be looking for a home with another kind and confident resident dog to take her under their wing and be her friend. She takes reassurance from other dogs and will benefit from having a calm companion to help guide her as she settles into her new life. As Kiki has never lived in a home before, she will need to learn all about house training and the other basics of home life. Her adopters will need to be patient and understanding as she settles in at her own pace. Being a German Shorthaired Pointer, Kiki would like an active home where she can enjoy an enriching lifestyle once she has settled and built her confidence. She can already walk well on a lead and harness, but walks better on a harness. Kiki has arrived feeling a little weak on her back legs, potentially due to a lack of muscle, but with gentle exercise as she builds up muscle this should start to improve. She also has a lump and scar on her front right knee, which may be scar tissue, but our vets will assess this further. Kiki has a gentle and lovely nature that is already beginning to shine through. While she is still finding her feet, she is making progress every day, and we hope that with patience, kindness, and the support of a canine friend, she will continue to grow in confidence and enjoy all that home life has to offer. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Kiki

What life with Kiki looks like

Kiki is a adult german shorthaired pointer 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. 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 Kiki, answered.

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