Laura

Golden Retriever · Female · Adult · 6 years

30-05-26 Laura has come to us from a breeder and is now looking for a special forever home. At the moment, Laura is a worried girl who is finding her new surroundings quite overwhelming. She is not used to being handled and can be unsure at first, but if you spend some quiet time with her, she soon begins to relax and will allow gentle fusses. We can already tell that she is a very sweet and gentle soul who just needs time, patience and understanding to help her confidence grow. Laura will be looking for a calm and quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. Her adopters will need to allow her the time she needs to adjust to her new life and not expect too much from her too soon. We would consider homing her with gentle dog savvy older teenagers. She absolutely loves other dogs and relies heavily on them for comfort and reassurance. Laura is noticeably braver when she has another dog around her, so she will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home. A canine friend will help show her the ropes and give her the confidence to embrace all the new experiences that await her. As Laura has never lived in a home before, there will be lots for her to learn. Her adopters will need to be kind and patient as she learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She will also need to learn how to walk on a lead and harness, starting slowly and building her confidence over time. Laura is a lovely girl with a gentle nature who deserves the chance to blossom. With a calm home, a doggy companion by her side and plenty of love and reassurance, we are sure she will make wonderful progress and become a devoted and rewarding companion. Laura is a little overweight at the moment but with good nutrition and gentle exercise, she should soon start to shed the excess. Laura has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Laura

What life with Laura looks like

Laura is a adult golden retriever 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 Laura, answered.

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