Maggie

Cockapoo · Female · Adult · 7 years

Maggie is a sweet girl who originally came to us from a breeder. She was adopted for around 16 months, but has sadly returned to us from a home following an incident with one of the smaller resident dogs in the home. During the evening, while out in the garden, Maggie was frightened by the other dog barking. Although we don't know exactly what happened, the interaction unfortunately ended in a fight and they struggled to make up or co-exist after this. When Maggie returned to our care, she was a very shy and sensitive girl who was quite worried about meeting new people. Since then she has settled in wonderfully and has well and truly come out of her shell! We would absolutely love to see her back in a home as soon as possible. Maggie is now confident enough that we would consider homing her as an only dog in the right circumstances, with adopters who have experience with ex-breeding dogs and who have plenty of time to spend with her and to help her settle in. She could also live with another calm and confident resident dog, but they would need to be her size or larger. As Maggie has previously lived in a home, she will be familiar with the sights and sounds of a home environment. However, she may still need some support with house training as she settles into a new routine. Maggie can already walk on a lead and will enjoy going for walks with her new family. Maggie can be particularly worried by men and did initially bark at the male resident in her previous home. With time, patience, and gentle handling, she slowly began to come around. We are ensuring she socialises with males here and she does have a male staff member as part of her care team and has bonded well with him, which is lovely. Maggie will be looking for a calm and quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. Unfortunately on one occasion, Maggie became tangled in her harness and in a panic, bit the hand of the male owner who was trying to help free her. This was purely through fear, but due to this, Maggie will be looking for an adult only home. Since Maggie has been with us, she has shown that when she feels stressed or overwhelmed, she may try to find a way to escape by climbing. Because of this, she will need a very secure garden with boundaries of at least 6ft to help keep her safe and prevent any potential escape attempts. Once Maggie knows and trusts someone, she is a very sweet and happy girl. In the right calm and understanding home, with patient and dog-savvy owners who are willing to let her settle at her own pace, we are confident she will continue to make wonderful progress and become the most lovely companion. Maggie is currently being treated for an ear infection in the left ear. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Maggie

What life with Maggie looks like

Maggie is a adult cockapoo 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 Maggie, answered.

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