Adopt Laurence

Poodle · Male · Adult · 7 years

04-06-26 Laurence is a sweet boy who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a loving new home. He has been described as an absolute gentleman, and it is easy to see why. Although he can be a little wary when meeting new people, with a gentle and patient introduction he is quick to make friends. Once he feels comfortable, Laurence will quietly slink over for more fuss and attention, showing his sweet and affectionate nature. Laurence gets on wonderfully with his kennel friends and relies on their company for comfort, so he will need a kind resident dog in his new home to help guide him and give him the reassurance he needs as he settles in and finds his paws. As Laurence 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. His adopters will need to be patient and understanding as he adjusts to a completely new environment and learns that home life can be full of comfort, kindness, and love. Laurence is a gentle soul who thrives on calm companionship and reassurance. With the support of a canine friend and a family willing to give him the time he needs, we are sure he will continue to grow in confidence and blossom into a wonderful companion. A truly sweet and loving boy, Laurence has so much affection to give and will make a lovely addition to a patient and caring home. He has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Laurence

What life with Laurence looks like

Laurence is a adult poodle 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 Laurence, answered.

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