Lollipop

Bichon Frisé · Female · Adult · 6 years

Lollipop is a lovely Bichon Frise who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a new start. She is an inquisitive and funny little girl who is already showing glimpses of her playful personality. Lollipop will happily come over to lick our fingers before darting away again, as if she's still deciding whether people are quite as interesting as her kennel friends. Lollipop is still a nervous little girl, but she has been making lovely progress and is gradually becoming more curious about the people around her. The more time you spend with her, the more interested she becomes in you, and it is lovely to see her slowly coming out of her shell. Lollipop loves the company of other dogs and relies heavily on them for comfort and reassurance. She is happy to follow their lead and takes great confidence from having another dog around. For this reason, she will need to have a resident dog in her new home. She will be looking for a home with a male resident dog as she can sometimes be a little sassy with female dogs. Lollipop has also been making lovely progress with her harness training. She is easy to put her harness on and recently went out for her very first walk. Considering how nervous she can be, she did incredibly well! She will need plenty more gentle practice to help her become confident and comfortable with walking, and her adopters will need to continue this at her own pace. As Lollipop 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 adjusts to a whole new world and gains confidence in her surroundings. Lollipop could share her home with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over who can appreciate and understand that she will need a gentle, quiet introduction to the home and her own space to settle in. She has arrived with a Grade 2 luxating patella, but her mobility appears unaffected and this may improve as she builds muscle tone. Lollipop has also arrived with severe periodontal disease and has had seven teeth extracted. Lollipop is an active and spritely little girl with a bright future ahead of her. With the support of a kind canine friend and a patient family, we hope her confidence will continue to grow and her charming personality will shine through even more. She has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog. This dog can be homed with cats.

About Lollipop

What life with Lollipop looks like

Lollipop is an adult bichon frisé 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 Lollipop, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lollipop?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Lollipop on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lollipop if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Many Tears Animal Rescue whether they will for Lollipop, what they require (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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lollipop already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Lollipop. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Many Tears Animal Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lollipop isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Many Tears Animal Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lollipop 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.
