How do I contact the shelter about Lemon Pie?

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

Can I adopt Lemon Pie 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 Lemon Pie 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 Lemon Pie 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 Lemon Pie 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.

Lemon Pie

Shih Tzu · Female · Adult · 4 years

Lemon Pie is an absolute heartbreaker who came to us from a breeder and initially found it difficult to settle into her new environment. We believe this was partly due to discomfort in her right eye, which has since been removed. She has recovered well from her surgery and already seems much more comfortable. She has corneal scarring on her left eye that will need to be monitored for any future issues that may arise, but she is able to see around it well for now. Lemon Pie has now spent a week in foster care and is making lovely, gentle progress. She arrived as a very scared little girl who adored the company of the other dogs but didn't want to be close to people. She would spend much of her day in the garden or the kitchen, quietly watching her foster carer from a distance. With time, patience, and understanding, she has already started to show just how brave she can be. She is now happy to stay in the same room as her foster carer and no longer feels the need to run away whenever someone moves nearby. Lemon Pie can still be sensitive to touch and may shy away from hands, suggesting that she may not always have been treated with the kindness she deserves. She needs adopters who will allow her to build trust at her own pace and never rush or overwhelm her. Every small step she takes is a huge achievement, and she continues to grow in confidence each day. Having never lived in a home before, Lemon Pie will need understanding adopters who can guide her through all the new experiences and routines of family life. At the moment, harness and lead walking are still a little way off, and her foster carers are allowing her to progress entirely at her own pace. She absolutely loves pottering around the secure garden, where she feels safe and can explore without pressure. As her confidence continues to grow, we are sure she will be ready to take on new adventures in time. Lemon Pie absolutely adores other dogs and takes enormous comfort from their company. She loves sharing her food bowl and curling up to sleep alongside her doggy friends, so having at least one kind and confident resident dog in her forever home is essential. They will provide her with the reassurance and confidence she needs as she continues to blossom. She could live with older, dog-savvy teenagers who will respect her space and understand that she needs time to settle. Lemon Pie is an incredibly deserving little girl who has already shown how much progress she can make when given patience and understanding. She is looking for a calm, loving home where she can continue to build trust at her own pace and finally enjoy the happy life she has always deserved. Lemon Pie has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Lemon Pie

What life with Lemon Pie looks like

Lemon Pie is a extra-large adult shih tzu 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.
